‘Halloween’ Franchise Getting a Reboot [Watch]
Fans of Michael Myers and the "Halloween" movie franchise originally created by John Carpenter in 1978 will get a new take on the series with a reboot officially in the works, according to MovieHole.
News of this new venture in the franchise follows a successful reboot run by legendary shock-rocker Rob Zombie ("House of 1000 Corpses," "The Devils Rejects") who remade the franchise's first and subsequent sequel.
The article refers to this reboot as a continuation of the original carnage created by the sociopathic killer known as Michael Myers, who returns to Haddonfield to terrorize a new generation of kids and teenagers. This project is classified as a standalone return to the franchise and is meant to be a reintroduction to the franchise's flagship terror.
The film will be titled "Halloween Returns" and will feature characters that are in some way related to the original victims of Myers, supposedly in previous films. The explanation given on the website tells of a child, now 18 years old, whose parent(s) were victims of Myers at some point. This teen will play a central role in the plot of the film and may in some way be seeking out vengeance.
The teen will partner with another teen, the offspring of a cop who at one time was heavily obsessed with the Myers case. This child was neglected by her father due to this case, so there may be vengeance on both of their minds that could eventually fill out the plot of this upcoming film.
There is also a plot in the story that has never been done on a "Halloween" franchise film. In this particular situation, Myers is now in captivity and sits on death row. But, when it comes time to end his life, things go wrong. This eventually leads to Myers' escape and the pursuit begins there by the two teens who had snuck in to view Myers' execution.
The article also states that casting is currently underway for the project.
Here is a look at the most recent remake by Rob Zombie:
