HALLOWEEN [2018] DON'T F*CK THIS UP!

I feel bad for Maelk and tari Akkad- idiots like Blum and Gordon gren are re3making H20 and will f**ck it all up










In February 2015, it was reported that Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan would be writing a new Halloween film, described as a "recalibration" rather than a reboot, along with Malek Akkad and Matt Stein producing.On June 15, 2015, it was further reported that The Weinstein Company was moving ahead with another Halloween sequel, tentatively titled Halloween Returns with Dunstan directing. It would have been a standalone film set to reintroduce audiences to Michael Myers years after his initial rampage from Halloween and 1981's Halloween II, as he was confronted by a new generation of victims while on death row.


 On October 22, 2015, producer Malek Akkad revealed that the production of Halloween Returns had been postponed, stating that the extra time would result in a better film. Malek said on the matter, "Although, I have to say, and this is somewhat new news, but unfortunately things happen in Hollywood where you have issues with studios and different variables. We've had to take a step back and now we're trying to re-figure this beast that is the new Halloween. So there is a bit of a delay, but this new Halloween isn't going to be quite what has been announced and what people are expecting, so we're making some changes there as well."[15] In December 2015, it was announced that Dimension Films no longer had the filming rights to Halloween, after Halloween Returns failed to go into production on schedule. The film's cancellation was confirmed at the same time.
Bringing Carpenter back was the first step for Akkad. “As soon as we did part ways with the Weinstein company the first call I made was to John [Carpenter] and I just said, ‘You know, there’s no way we’re going to do one without you.'”
Realizing that the series needed to go into a different direction yet still hold true to its roots, Akkad sought a different kind of director to take the helm. “For me, from the get go, what was really important was I didn’t just want to get another horror director and so the idea was very early on, this franchise should be able to attract an A list director and that was kind of the mandate and even though the studio was sending a lot of horror directors, and they’re all very talented, but Jason Blum really agreed and I hope he doesn't fuck it up.”
