Today Universal Pictures today announced release dates for two new films in the iconic Halloween series, from Trancas International Films, Miramax and Blumhouse Productions. Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends will be released in 2020 and 2021 respectively in response to the overwhelming critical and commercial success of Halloween 2018.
Returning to, hopefully, capture the magic again are Jamie Lee Curtis and director David Gordon Green, and screenwriter Danny McBride. New to the mix is screenwriter Scott Teems for KILLS and Paul Brad Logan and Chris Bernier for ENDS.
Halloween 2018 went on to become the highest-grossing installment in the classic horror franchise at more than $250 million worldwide and, to be honest, it was a foregone conclusion that a sequel, much less two of them, would be fast-tracked.
HALLOWEEN KILLS will be released on Friday, October 16, 2020.
Written by David Gordon Green & Danny McBride & Scott Teems, based on characters created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, the film will be directed by David Gordon Green and produced by Malek Akkad, Jason Blum and Bill Block. John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeanette Volturno, Couper Samuelson, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green and Ryan Freimann are executive producers. Ryan Turek is overseeing the project for Blumhouse.
