Dimension Films, who have held the rights to the Halloween franchise for the last two decades, has just witnessed the property slip through their fingers as many sources, including The Wrap and Bloody Disgusting, are reporting. Although this may come as a shock to some, it should be noted that Dimension has been trying to get a new Halloween film off the ground for years now, with little results. A couple of iterations of Halloween 3D were announced but never materialised, a film under the title of Halloween: The Next Chapter was reported, and The Hollywood Reporter at one point revealed Dimension's plans for a reboot. Dimension's current project was Halloween Returns, but the fate of that film is now a dubious one.
The future of the franchise remains uncertain, though it is currently being shopped around by Miramax Films. Bloody Disgusting speculates that the franchise could end up at New Line Cinema or Paramount and join the ranks of Jason Voorhees, Freddy Kruger, and Leatherface. For now, only time will tell the future of Halloween.
