John Carpenter is to produce a new Halloween movie. David Gordon Green (Joe, Pineapple Express) and Danny McBride are also involved in the new version of the classic horror movie, based on an ‘exciting new pitch’.
Carpenter revealed more on his Facebook page as news of the project broke.
“David Gordon Green and Danny McBride are joining the project to complete the creative team. David and Danny will write the script together and David will direct. I will continue in my executive producer role to consult and offer my advice and feedback as needed. David and Danny both came to my office recently with Jason Blum and shared their vision for the new movie and…WOW. They get it. I think you’re gonna dig it. They blew me away.”
An October 2018 release date is being eyed for the reboot, and Carpenter may also get even more involved by doing the film’s music.
More as it comes our way.
