Our mission at SAW is to foster conversations about this thing we all love (or love to hate): film/TV. Many of our features are designed with you in mind. Your opinions, to be more to the point. You have ’em. We want to hear ’em.
Question of the Day (QOTD) is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a film/TV-related question that we put to you, the reader. The comments section below is like the feedback box at work; except, in this example, we actually read what you write and care about what you have to say.
While Halloween Ends concluded the story of Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode, Miramax has plans to continue the Halloween franchise with new films and television series. With it only being a matter of time before Michael Myers returns to the big (or small) screen, Miramax will need to differentiate the installment from the recent legacy trilogy. Well, why not go back to the beginning?
You see, the question I ask today is: should Halloween return to the original timeline?
I say yes. Let’s pick up 30 years after the events of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995). Give Paul Rudd all the money to return as Tommy Doyle, with Marianne Hagan also returning as Kara Strode. Find a horror icon to play Steven Lloyd (the son of Jamie Lloyd), and introduce his family. Reintroduce the Cult of Thorn and Michael Myers. Let’s build on the original timeline which just introduced some wild concepts. Miramax needs to go in a radically different direction from the previous Halloween trilogy and this is one way to do it without just rebooting the whole damn thing.
So what about you, screenagers? Do you think Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers needs a legacy sequel?
I’ll see you in the trenches.
