Miramax is Planning on Building a HALLOWEEN Film and TV "Cinematic Universe"
The Halloween franchise is going to live on and we will see Michael Meyers kill again as Miramax has secured the rights to the iconic horror franchise. What? You thought that Blumhouse’s Halloween Ends would be the end!? Of course not!
The plan is to build a film and TV "cinematic universe” and the TV series is already in the works. It’s explained that the series "is envisioned to potentially launch a cinematic universe spanning film and television."
Miramax’s Head of Global TV Marc Helwig said in a statement: “We couldn’t be more excited to bring Halloween to television. We are thrilled to expand our long and successful partnership with Trancas and the brilliant Malek Akkad in introducing this iconic franchise to a new form of storytelling and a new generation of fans.”
Trancas International Films head Malek Akkad added: “Trancas International Films is extremely enthused to be expanding our long-standing relationship with Miramax, and we look forward to working with Marc Helwig and the entire team in creating this new chapter.”
There are no details on the story or how this is all going to play out, but I imagine the plan is to start from scratch and build something completely new with the franchise. I think there’s potential here to do some really cool things and interesting things with the franchise because it allows the creative team to really dive into the details of some things.
We’ll just have to wait and see how this turns out. What do you want to see from the franchise as it continues?
