Jamie Lee Curtis Calls HALLOWEEN KILLS a "Masterpiece" and Explains Its Mob Rage and BLM Themes
We’ve got a whole other year to go before we see director David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills in theaters. But, Jamie Lee Cutis has some things to say about it that some of you might be interested in.
The sequel takes place the same night as the last film, picking up where the last movie ended. The events in the sequel also bring together a lot of characters who were introduced in the 1978 film. It’s said that they gather “to try, once and for all, to take down Michael, to stop this madman."
It’s been previously explained that the story centers around “a community that is united by outrage, and divided in how to deal with evil.” It’s also said to be more about the “unraveling of a community into chaos. It’s about how fear spreads virally.”
Curtis recently expanded on that a little more during an interview with The Jess Cagle Show, likening the events and themes in the story to what we are seeing right now in the real world with the raging mobs of people and the BLM movement. She also says that the film is a “masterpiece.”
“What we were seeing around the country of the power, of the rage of voices, big groups of people coming together enraged at the set of circumstances, that’s what the movie is. The movie is about a mob. And so it’s very interesting because it takes on what happens when trauma infects an entire community.
“And we’re seeing it everywhere with the Black Lives Matter movement. We’re seeing it in action and Halloween Kills weirdly enough, dovetailed onto that, preceded it, it was written before that occurred. So when you see it, it’s a seething group of people moving through the story as a big angry group, it’s really, really, really, really, really intense. It’s a masterpiece.”
A lot of fans are looking forward to this movie and I hope that it is the masterpiece that Curtis says it is.
Jamie Lee Curtis returns for the sequel and is joined by Judy Greer and Andi Matichak, who reprise their roles as Laurie’s daughter and granddaughter in the sequels. Michael Myers actors Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney will also come back to their shared role. The film also includes Kyle Richards returning as Lindsey Wallace; Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, and Nancy Stephens who will reprise her role as Nurse Marion.
Halloween Kills will be released on October 15th, 2021.
