In twenty-seven days, evil returns to Haddonfield in director David Gordon Green’s Halloween, and in anticipation of the buzzed-about feature film, Universal Pictures has released a new teaser trailer with an interesting angle.
Taking a true crime approach in the framing of The Shape’s terrifying backstory, it additionally sets up the new film’s central confrontation between Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis, returning to her iconic role) and nemesis Michael Myers (Nick Castle).
See the trailer below.
The eleventh film in the franchise, co-written by director David Gordon Green and collaborators Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley, the latest Halloween film serves as a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s seminal 1978 film of the same name. Trancas International Films’ Malek Akkad, Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and Bill Block produce, with McBride, Green and star Jamie Lee Curtis serving as executive producers, along with Ryan Freimann and series originator Carpenter, who also serves as the film’s composer. In it, series star Curtis returns to her role of embattled final girl Laurie Strode, as does Nick Castle to his role of Michael Myers. They are joined by Judy Greer as Karen Strode, Laurie’s daughter, and Andi Matichak as Allyson Strode, Laurie’s granddaughter.
Universal Pictures will release Halloween worldwide on October 19, 2018.
