Jamie Lee Curtis Says "Never Say Never" To a Possible Return To The HALLOWEEN Franchise

Halloween Ends was intended to be a farewell to the story of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, but franchise star Jamie Lee Curtis lets fans know that there’s always a chance she could return to the franchise again one day,

During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress said: "I have hung up my bell-bottoms and my pale blue button-down shirt, and I have relinquished [Laurie] to the ages with a warm, 'aloha,' and a thanks for all the years and memories.”

She then adds: "And yet. if I've learned anything in my 65 years on the planet, it's never say never." 

When it comes to these big franchises, anything is possible. When previously talking about bringing Strode’s story to a close with Halloween Ends, Curtis said:

"I realized that would be the last time I ever saw Laurie Strode. It was very powerful for me. I wept. David [Gordon Green, director] wept. We all recognized that moment, that it was the wrap for Laurie Strode and me. And this community of artists who made these movies. It was a big deal."

As of right now, there are no plans to bring Curtis back as Laurie Strode, but there is a new Halloween project in development.

Mirimax is developing a Halloween series, which is said to be a “complete reset” of the franchise. It is also envisioned to potentially launch a cinematic universe spanning film and television."

It was explained: “The foundation of it is the original film, the John Carpenter movie, the characters of that film, and perhaps a group of characters that we haven’t really focused on that much in recent film versions or even in a number of them.

“It’s a creative reset completely and going back to the original film, as opposed to spinning out of any of the more recent film adaptations.”

Halloween is one of those horror franchises that will never die. It will constantly be played with and reinvented, and one day, who knows, maybe Curtis will return one day as Laurie Strode.
