Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago. Master of horror John Carpenter executive produces and serves as creative consultant on this film, joining forces with cinema’s current leading producer of horror, Jason Blum (Get Out, Split, The Purge, Paranormal Activity). Inspired by Carpenter’s classic, filmmakers David Gordon Green and Danny McBride crafted a story that carves a new path from the events in the landmark 1978 film, and Green also directs.
From the comments:
Just to make things clear for some of the people that are confused. Laurie Strode is alive because this takes place after the 1978 movie. It's a direct sequel to the original. None of the other movies matter here. They're making it that Michael was captured that night, 40 years ago, and he's been in prison ever since. This is going to change some of the mythos of the story. Him being this type of supernatural immortal being is gone, along with him being Laurie's brother.
