Halloween movie in the works with John Carpenter

Blumhouse Productions founder/CEO Jason Blum, “Halloween” franchise producer Malek Akkad, Miramax and Trancas International Films have announced that they will team-up to bring a new “Halloween” film to the big screen.

They also revealed that original “Halloween” director John Carpenter will serve as Executive Producer and Creative Consultant on the film that will “bring the franchise back in line with his original vision”.

“HALLOWEEN needs to return to its traditions,” Carpenter said. “I feel like the movies have gotten away from that… Michael is not just a human being; he’s a force of nature, like the wind. That’s what makes him so scary… 38 years later, I’m going to help to try to make the tenth sequel the scariest of them all.”

Carpenter is also in negotiations to compose the film’s music.
