After a few false starts and broken dreams, Dimension Films is again readying to unleash Michael Myers on film-going audiences.
Bloody Disgusting reports that plans have been unveiled for Halloween Returns*, the eleventh installment to the franchise whose on- and off-screen butching has been around since 1978. Returns (not to be confused with Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers) will be written by Feast and Saw scribes Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunston with Dunston set to direct.
The story (as if it mattered as long as there is no white horse around) is that Myers in now on death row for his crimes but escapes (natch) and has in his targets a child of a former victim and a tough-nosed cop who is obsessed with Myers. Probably also other semi-naked, horny teens since this is a latter day Halloween film.
From the cast reports, this installment seems to return the series back to its original continuity from the first two films rather than continuing Rob Zombie’s insanity of a series. So, yay for that!?
Melton and Dunston have a spotty resume (mostly because I absolutely hated Saw 5 and I hear those Feast sequels were no good either) but I hold out hope for this one. Until I hear of the inevitable stunt casting of Katy Perry and Drake and collectively lose my shit. Until then, I’m cautiously optimistic.
*This is a dumb title. Whoever thought of this should feel bad and have their movie-making privileges revoked.
