Masked killer Michael Myers is coming back — again — in a new Halloween horror movie. But this time, the talent quotient behind the camera will be higher than the normal slasher flick.
David Gordon Green, the co-creator of HBO's Eastbound & Down and director of movies such as Pineapple Express and Our Brand Is Crisis, will helm a new movie that will have a script co-written by him and frequent collaborator, Danny McBride.
John Carpenter, the co-creator of the franchise and who directed the 1978 original, made the announcement on his Facebook page.
"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,” he wrote. "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."
With Green and McBride on board, it seems that the producers are serious about this remake. Carpenter will exec produce along with Green and McBride’s Rough House Pictures.

I'm willing to bet this doesn't pan out, this series is put out and brought back like an actual Michael Myers movie.
