The process of reviving Michael Myers for the upcoming films HALLOWEEN, HALLOWEEN KILLS, and HALLOWEEN ENDS.
It has been announced that a new making-of book for the Halloween movie trilogy directed by David Gordon Green will be released just in time for Halloween. The book, titled Halloween: The Official Making of Halloween, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, will be published by Titan Books next month. A sneak peek of the cover and some interior pages have been released.
According to Penguin Randomhouse, this book is the official companion to the latest Halloween trilogy produced by Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions. Written by Abbie Bernstein, the book includes behind-the-scenes photography and interviews with the cast and crew. The cover of the book features Michael Myers, as seen in the poster for the 2018 Halloween film.
Green brought the franchise back to life after a decade-long hiatus, following Rob Zombie's divisive reboot of the series. Green's decision to make a direct sequel to John Carpenter's original 1978 classic allowed Jamie Lee Curtis to reprise her role as Laurie Strode and simplified the continuity of the series. The 2018 Halloween film was a huge success, grossing over $255 million and becoming the highest-grossing slasher film ever, despite having a modest budget of $10 million.
Due to the success of the film, Blumhouse and Universal approved not one, but two sequels. Green directed all three films, with Halloween Kills released in 2021 and Halloween Ends set for release in 2022. Both sequels were also successful at the box office, although their release on Peacock may have impacted ticket sales. Green's trilogy is a fascinating undertaking, and Halloween Ends promises to provide a definitive conclusion to the series. The official description of the book reads as follows:
“The making of this much-anticipated movie trilogy is covered in fascinating detail in this official companion book. The creative processes behind the stunts, costumes, production design and make-up effects are revealed through interviews with the cast and crew, while captivating on-set photography captures the shooting of the key scenes and action set-pieces. A must for all horror fans, Halloween 2018–2022: The Official Making of the Films reveals the method behind the terror.”
