I was looking for this thread just to post about that interview. He flat out said that this movie will be ignoring every sequel. I believe it was confirmed a week or two ago that this movie will only follow the first movie despite previous claims from the production that this movie would follow the first two movies.
I wonder if Jaime Lee Curtis' return had anything to do with the change in the game plan.

Now that it has been confirmed that this will ignore every other sequel, I wonder if Laurie will still be Michael's sister? If I remember correctly, that wasn't stated until the second movie.

Carpenter never liked that idea, even though he wrote it himself out of desperation to get at least some kind of script ready. Halloween II was a pain for Carpenter to write and the whole thing was a troubled production from the beginning. I like Halloween II in many ways but it will be interesting to see what direction this new project takes. Couldn't care less about it getting ignored really. |

Ironically, it's probably the best sequel. Most likely the best sequel and kept the original vibe going by setting it minutes after where the original left off but over the years I find myself liking Halloween III Season of the Witch more than HII.
As for the sister plot, even casual fans of the franchise knows that it's been revealed that Laurie and Michael are siblings and H20 and then years later the Rob Zombie remake reinforced that plot for a new generation of movie goers. I wouldn't be surprised if the new movie somehow keeps the siblings plot intact in spite of ignoring HII.

I can't be bothered reading through all these responses, but if they ignore H20 how do they explain how she ended up as headmistress at a private school trying to hide from her past? It's just more contrived nonsense. Rob Zombie has already done a remake and a sequel and this is just desperation. They are ignoring every sequel. |

Now there's a rumor that they want to downgrade the new Halloween movie to PG-13. If true, that is bad news and could ruin the production. How can anyone think that a PG-13 Halloween movie will work? Haven't they learned from the loss of quality the Terminator sequels suffered from when they were downgraded to PG-13? Also compare the quality of the R rated Logan movie to the previous two PG-13 rated Wolverine movies. Imagine how much the quality of Deadpool would have suffered from if it was re-edited to a PG-13 movie.

Carpenter's original Halloween would probably get PG-13 if released today. |

Carpenter's original Halloween would probably get PG-13 if released today. I doubt it. First, PG-13 didn't exist until Indiana Jones ( I know you said if released today). Also, although there's no gore, there was nudity and sex scenes and there were disturbing images through out the movie and the subject matter of the plot was intended for a more mature audience. |

As happy as I am that Jamie Lee returning, John Carpenter returning to produce, story consult and especially to score the music is nothing to sneeze at either. In my opinion, Carpenter was a huge missing ingredient in H20.
I think I'm more excited about Carpenter returning. Don't get me wrong, Curtis' return is huge, and I would rather have her in the movie than her not be in it, but with her being in the last two original series sequels its a little less climactic for me. How about the news of Nick Castle returning to play the Shape? I Castle is pushing 70 but it's not that physically demanding of a role. It's not like Michael was the running type. |

That's awesome provided he can pull it off. |

I actually think that it is Pretty Cool that Will Patton is going to be in this Movie. I heard that He is going to be playing a Cop in it.

Yes, Patton will be playing the Sherriff, presumably Bracket's old position. Still I'm hoping Charles Cyphers makes a cameo appearance as Lee because his daughter, Annie as killed by Michael in the original movie. |
