One of the main things Blum want to reiterate to fans of the enfranchisement is that the newHalloweenfilm is not a"reboot . “In an audience withVarietyabout the film , Blum , the prolific horror film producer behind such hit asGet OutandSplit , says the mix of gift involved with the newHalloweenmakes it defy the"reboot"label . He say :
" The path to get people interested is to not boot . The term make my tomentum stand up on the back of my neck . What we ’re doing with Halloween is , I guess I ’ll use the terminus ' reinvention . ' Reboot just sounds so bodied . The fashion we attacked Halloween was to go after what we ’ve done with a lot of other movies . David Gordon Green and Danny McBride are not eff for repulsion , Jordan Peele was not screw for horror before Get Out , so I think we ’ve had a raft of success unify genres of people – not the moving-picture show – the movie ’s a straight , scarey movie , so I think we ’ve get a very original voice with David Gordon Green and Danny , and having Jamie Lee Curtis and John Carpenter back in the mix to me was the beginning .
With the motion-picture show production nearing its pass completion , Blum supply that he ’s pleased with how it all turn out . He tote up :

And while fans will have to wait see more footage in addition toHalloween ’s first trailer , details are spilling out from the production about how the new sequel will ignore the original film ’s sequel reveal thatLaurie and Michael Myers were not actually siblings .
That development alone demonstrate how Blum , Green , and McBride are willing to shake things up . And with the involvement of Carpenter and Curtis , they ’re also determined to rectify the ship from the wayward direction the film series took after the 1978 master . Whether fan still desire to callHalloween 2018a"reboot"or go with Blum’s"reinvention"term is their choice , but there ’s no question that a different experience is in store when Michael Myers returns home in October .
