How The New Halloween Movie Convinced John Carpenter To Return
(GameSpot PS2)
 


It was over 35 years ago that John Carpenter had what he thought would be his final word on the Halloween franchise. After directing the original film, co-writing the first two, and co-producing Halloween II and III, he was ready to move on with his life. And he did, directing films like Christine, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from LA, and Village of the Damned.Yet, somehow, 40 years after the first film, John Carpenter is right back where he started in the fictional town of Haddonfield, once again haunted by the ghost of Michael Myers.

And fans should be glad that`s how it all played out. As Blum told GameSpot during the film`s junket, without him it`s possible Jamie Lee Curtis might not have returned as Laurie Strode.Without Carpenter and Curtis, it`s impossible to imagine this movie turning out as great as it did.
