Following the release of Blumhouse’s reboot of Halloween, producer Jason Blum announced the studio would be making not one but two sequels titled Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends.
However, if you worried that you would need to watch both sequels to follow the whole story, Blum has recently stated that Halloween Kills “feels like a complete movie” and “ends in a totally satisfying way.”
“I worried about it until I saw it,” Blum told io9. “And David (Gordon Green, director) worried about it. That it would feel like, remember Lord of the Rings? Like you weren’t getting [the full story]? It doesn’t feel like that at all. [Halloween Kills] feels like a complete movie. There’s a first, second, and third act. It has a big end. You still know from the end of the second movie where the third movie is going, but the second movie ends in a totally satisfying way. So it doesn’t feel like, you know, that Lord of the Rings issue that they had.”
In a previous interview, Blum also teased that the first sequel, Halloween Kills, is a very big movie with a larger canvas when compared to its predecessors.
“Halloween Kills is a very big movie,” Blum said. “I can tell you that. The canvas of Halloween Kills is very large.”
Halloween Kills is directed by David Gordon Green from a script by Green and Danny McBride and sees Jamie Lee Curtis (Laurie Strode) Judy Greer (Karen), Andi Matichak (Allyson), Jibrail Nantambu (Julian), Kyle Richards (Lindsey Wallace), Nancy Stephens (Nurse Marion), Charles Cyphers (Sheriff Brackett) and Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney (The Shape) all reprising their roles, while new additions include Anthony Michael Hall (The Dead Zone) as Tommy Doyle and Robert Longstreet (The Haunting of Hill House) as Lonnie Elam.
Halloween Kills is set for release on October 16th 2020, with Halloween Ends following in October 15th 2021.
