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.

Didn't rob zombie make love to this franchise to death? I would be fine with throwing in the towel actually, and I am pro-remakes.

As long as it stands on its own, has Michael looking like Michael, and focuses on suspense, I'm down.

Unfortunately that franchise appears to be in a coma. Despite having announced a sequel to the reboot at one point and the fact that Jackie Earl Haley signed a three picture deal as Freddy, there has literally been no real news from the franchise in years. There was also a Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash film that was either cancelled or is still in development hell.
