Last August,
Schmoes Know reported that a new film in the ever-lasting
Halloween franchise, titled
Halloween: The Next Chapter, was in development. After months of dead silence, THR has seemingly confirmed that we have not seen the last of this iconic franchise.
According to THR,
Halloween 3D (the intended sequel to 2009's
Halloween II) is dead, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we are getting another reboot. Apparently, the new
Halloween film will not be a remake, reboot, or re-imagining, but rather what is described by one of THR's sources as a "recalibration," though there has yet to be any elaboration as to what that means exactly.
The new
Halloween film will be written by
Saw scribes
Patrick Melton and
Marcus Dunstan, and produced by
Malek Akkad and
Matt Stein. Dimension Films will once again be distributing the film.
