Jamie Lee Curtis hints that she has finished shooting Halloween

It was only a couple of weeks ago that the returning Laurie Strode shared her first picture from that famous Haddonfield porch. Now Jamie Lee Curtis has posted the following image that appears to suggest her time on the Halloween sequel is at an end.

Does this mean that the original scream queen’s role is merely a cameo, or just that the production is shooting at a rapid pace and her scenes are in the can? Here’s hoping it’s the latter.
