“The Best HALLOWEEN Ever!” top lines this Friday’s issue of Entertainment Weekly.
Hitting new stands tomorrow, Entertainment Weekly and photographer Art Streiber dive deep into director and co-writer David Gordon Green’s upcoming film Halloween, which is set for release by Universal Pictures this coming October 19th, 2018, in a wonderful celebration of not only it, but of the series itself, with particular attention paid to the grande dame of final girls, Jamie Lee Curtis.
Said Curtis today via her personal Twitter of the above photo shot by Streiber and contained within the spread, “In all my years playing Laurie Strode & representing the Halloween movies there has never been an image that captured the journey better than this. My gratitude to @EW & Art Streiber, Michele Romero, Victoria Wood & the teams at the magazine & @halloweenmovie for this moment.”
Containing interviews with Curtis, Green, co-writer and executive producer Danny McBride, series originator and composer John Carpenter and The Shape himself (actor and filmmaker Nick Castle), all which stem from eight months of journalism (EW began their coverage of the film during principal photography earlier this year in Charleston, South Carolina), you can check out a teaser here of an issue that’s a ‘must have’ for fans of the series.
Additonally co-written by Jeff Fradley and Danny McBride, Green’s Halloween serves as the eleventh entry in the franchise and is intended as a direct sequel to Carpenter’s seminal 1978 film of the same name. Trancas International Films’ Malek Akkad and Bill Block additionally produce, with McBride, Green and returning star Jamie Lee Curtis serving as executive producers, along with Trancas’ Ryan Freimann.
