Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis, who will be returning for the upcoming sequel, gave us even more good news relating to the new film recently. The actress admitted to Yahoo that she has seen a trailer for the new chapter in the series, the good news being that she describes it as "terrifying."
I’ve seen a trailer and I’ve seen some footage, and it’s terrifying. They went full-tilt boogeyman. And I’ve never said that in my life, and I will say full-tilt boogeyman for the rest of the year as I go around talking about this.
Curtis starred as Laurie Strode in the original 1978 film which was directed by John Carpenter.
Speaking of Carpenter; some more good news for Halloween fans came from Blumhouse Productions head Jason Blum, who officially confirmed the franchise's creator will be returning to score the film.
Carpenter has already been confirmed to be involved with the sequel, lending guidance to director David Gordon Green and writer Danny McBride, as well as showing up on-set during production to help out.
This confirmation came on behalf of Blum who answered a fan's question during a Twitter thread - a thread which Blum started by announcing that he's seen the film for a second time. Blum has previously stated his confidence in the upcoming film, telling
Digital Spy how, after seeing it for the first time, he's very excited for people to see it.
I feel really good about it, I saw a cut of it two nights ago. I think David did a terrific job. He did everything I hoped he would do which is respect the DNA of the franchise and bring something totally new to it and we're really very very excited for people to see it.
With the new teaser poster, Curtis' comments, and Blum's assurance, it seems Halloween fans will finally be getting a sequel/reboot worthy of the title. And with the new film debuting in theaters on October 19th, hopefully we'll get to see that trailer soon.
Are you excited for the new Halloween? What do you think about Curtis and Blum's comments?
