A direct sequel to director David Gordon Green’s global smash hits Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends is directed by Green from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and series newcomers Paul Brad Logan and Chris Bernier.
Based on characters created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween Ends is produced by Malek Akkad, Jason Blum and Bill Block. John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeanette Volturno, Couper Samuelson, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Ryan Freimann, Andrew Golov, Thom Zadra and Christopher H. Warner are executive producers. Ryan Turek is overseeing the project for Blumhouse.
Returning to reprise her role of final girl “Laurie Strode” which she originated in John Carpenter’s immortal classic 1978 film Halloween, Jamie Lee Curtis is joined by original cast members Nick Castle and Kyle Richards. Additional cast includes James Jude Courtney, Andi Matichak, Rohan Campbell and Will Patton.
The official Halloween Ends synopsis from Universal reads:
After 45 years, the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic, terrifying conclusion as Laurie Strode faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil, Michael Myers, in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before. Only one of them will survive.
Icon Jamie Lee Curtis returns for the last time as Laurie Strode, horror’s first “final girl” and the role that launched Curtis’ career. Curtis has portrayed Laurie for more than four decades now, one of the longest actor-character pairings in cinema history. When the franchise relaunched in 2018, Halloween shattered box office records, becoming the franchise’s highest-grossing chapter and set a new record for the biggest opening weekend for a horror film starring a woman.
“Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell; The Hardy Boys, Virgin River), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.“
Universal Pictures, Miramax and Blumhouse present a Malek Akkad production, in association with Rough House Pictures.
