Jamie Lee Curtis, our original and favorite “Scream Queen,” is coming back to the Halloween franchise in the new movie set for release on October 18, 2018, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Jamie Lee Curtis’ career was launched when she starred in the first Halloween movie nearly 40 years ago in 1978.

John Carpenter, the co-creator of the franchise and director the 1978 original, announced in February that David Gordon Green and Danny McBride will direct and write the movie. He explained how excited he is:
“David and Danny both came to my office recently with Jason Blum and shared their vision for the new movie and … WOW. They get it. I think you’re gonna dig it. They blew me away. I might even do the music. Maybe. It could be kind of cool. And you’ll get to see it in theaters on October 19th, 2018.”
Curtis has played Laurie Strode in Halloween II (1981), Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) and Halloween: Resurrection (2002). Can’t wait for this one to come out.
