The Next HALLOWEEN Movie Will Be Developed by David Gordon Green and Danny McBride
John Carpenter has revealed on Facebook that his Halloween remake will be written and directed by David Gordon Green and Danny McBride, which was completely unexpected! The two talents have collaborated on several mostly comedic projects together including HBO's Eastbound & Down and Pineapple Express. It's really interesting to see that they will be developing the new Halloween movie. Carpenter, who is a producer on the film, said:
“David and Danny both came to my office recently with Jason Blum and shared their vision for the new movie and…WOW. They get it. I think you’re gonna dig it. They blew me away."
It's cool that he's so excited about their pitch. That's saying something. I can't wait to see what exactly their take on Michael Myers will be! Carpenter then went on to confirm that he might score the music, which was previously rumored:
"I might even do the music. Maybe. It could be kind of cool. And you’ll get to see it in theaters on October 19th, 2018.”
Halloween is one of my favorite horror movie franchises, and I'm just glad that Rob Zombie is no longer involved. I hated his take on the iconic horror villain, and so did Carpenter. He's looking to revive the Halloween brand for the fans and previously said:
"38 years after the original Halloween. I’m going to help to try to make the 10th sequel the scariest of them all."
I guess he thinks Green and McBride have what it takes to give horror fans a great and scary new Halloween movie.
