Collider is reporting that Blumhouse’s “Halloween 2” will start shooting post-Labor Day, and that Universal will likely release the horror movie on October 16, 2020. Jamie Lee Curtis is also set to return. I pointed out in my 10.16.18 review of David Gordon Green's "Halloween" that I feared the success of the film would re-energize and wake up the 'slasher' genre, which has been dead since the early aughts. I wrote, "Let's hope the success of "Halloween" at the box-office doesn't have Hollywood re-energizing a dead genre." “Halloween” made more than $255 million worldwide on a $10 million production budget.
At a Q&A this morning, Gray said "Two Lovers" was the first film he made with creative control. He was far less kind about the three before it, "Little Odessa," "The Yards" and "We Own the Night."
