Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions has released a brand new trailer through Cinemex for David Gordon Green’s upcoming horror slasher sequel Halloween, featuring an intro from Jamie Lee Curtis and John Carpenter as well as unseen footage, including our first good look at Michael’s scarred eye which he got from his first battle with Laurie Strode. See Curtis and Carpenter introduce the new trailer below!
Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago. Curtis is joined in the film by Judy Greer who plays Karen Strode, the daughter of Curtis’ character, and Andi Matichak (Orange Is the New Black, Underground) who plays Allyson, the granddaughter of Laurie Strode.
The upcoming sequel film will be ignoring the continuity of all of the sequels in favor of telling its own story. Curtis previously appeared in four films in the series, including the 1978 original, its 1981 sequel, 1998’s Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, and Resurrection.
Master of horror John Carpenter will executive produce and serve as creative consultant on this film. Jason Blum (Get Out, Split, The Purge, Paranormal Activity) was the power . Inspired by Carpenter’s classic, filmmakers David Gordon Green and Danny McBride crafted a story that carves a new path from the events in the landmark 1978 film. Green also directs.
The film comes to theaters on October 19.
