Halloween director David Gordon Green provides an update on the start of filming, and promises to deliver a “unique” sequel.
Producers even tried abandoning Myers altogether for Halloween III, much to the dismay of most fans.
To that end, the new Halloween is a sequel only to John Carpenter’s original film and its 1981 follow-up Halloween II, with all subsequent sequels being ignored.
When one considers that this will be the eleventh film in the massive Halloween franchise, it makes perfect sense that Green wants to take things in a new direction.
