Jason Blum hopes David Gordon Green returns for Halloween 2

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Blumhouse and David Gordon Green's (PINEAPPLE EXPRESS) sequel to John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN was a major force at the box-office last year and since then rumors and whatnot surrounding a possible sequel have been flying. And recently we passed along word that it looks like Blumhouse’s HALLOWEEN 2 is gearing up to start shooting after Labor Day with Jamie Lee Curtis returning as Laurie Strode!

But will Green return as the director? 

Jason Blum sure hopes so! In fact, a fan recently asked Jason Blum over on Twitter if he thinks David Gordon Green will do the sequel to Halloween adding "I hope so." To which Blum replied:

I do too!

Judy Greer and Andi Matichak are expected to return as well. Malek Akkad will produce alongside Blum and Bill Block. Danny McBride will likely return to executive produce alongside Green, Curtis, John Carpenter, and Blumhouse’s Couper Samuelson. 

Universal might release this new HALLOWEEN movie on October 16, 2020.

Here's the synopsis for the recent flick

It's been 40 years since Laurie Strode survived a vicious attack from crazed killer Michael Myers on Halloween night. Locked up in an institution, Myers manages to escape when his bus transfer goes horribly wrong. Laurie now faces a terrifying showdown when the masked madman returns to Haddonfield, Ill. — but this time, she's ready for him.

HALLOWEEN (2018) was directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay he co-wrote along with Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley based on characters created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. Malek Akkad, Bill Block, and Jason Blum produced the film which stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, and Virginia Gardner. John Carpenter also provided this new movie's score with the help of his son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies.
