It's just been officially announced that Jamie Lee Curtis will return as Michael Myers' long-suffering sister for the upcoming Halloween relaunch, which will evidently not be a full reboot of the iconic horror franchise.
David Gordon Green (Eastbound & Down, Pineapple Express, Our Brand Is Crisis) is on board to direct new movie from a script co-written by frequent collaborator Danny McBride. John Carpenter will executive produce.
Curis played Laurie Strode in the first 2 Halloween movies before returning for H2O in 1998. The character was then actually killed-off in Halloween: Resurrection in 2002, but it's hardly surprising that particular instalment is not being taken as canon.
Specific plot details are under wraps, but it'll most likely involve a masked maniac killing lots of people.
