We’ve been sitting on this news for a while here at HalloweenMovies.com, but today we’re happy to announce that another original cast member from John Carpenter’s 1978 classic Halloween has returned for David Gordon Green’s currently shooting feature Halloween Kills: actress Nancy Stephens!
Stephens, who portrayed ‘Nurse Marion’ in the seminal film (as well as the 1981 follow-ups Halloween II and 1998’s Halloween H20: 20 Years Later) will reprise her role in Green’s sequel to last year’s hit film Halloween (in its new timeline), joining actress Kyle Richards (as ‘Lindsey Wallace’), and series final girl Jamie Lee Curtis as ‘Laurie Strode.’ Joining them are Anthony Michael Hall (in the role of ‘Tommy Doyle’, taking over for Brian Andrews) and Robert Longstreet as ‘Lonnie Elam.’
Set for release by Universal Pictures on October 16th, 2020, Halloween Kills is produced by Trancas International Films, Miramax and Blumhouse Productions, with director Green directing from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and series newcomer Scott Teems.
Based on characters created by series originator John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween Kills and its 2021 follow-up Halloween Ends will be produced by Akkad, Jason Blum and Bill Block. Green, McBride, John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeanette Volturno, Couper Samuelson and Ryan Freimann will serve as executive producers, with Ryan Turek overseeing both projects for Blumhouse.
