Dimension Films and Trancas International Films announced that production will start in July on the newest installment into the Michael Myers franchise entitled Halloween Returns. The script was written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton (Saw) with Dunstan also directing the film.

“Michael Myers has taken a long break from the big screen and we know fans are eager to see him return,” Bob Weinstein, co-chair of Dimension and its parent company, The Weinstein Company, said in a statement. “We are excited to be back in business with Trancas and look forward to bringing one of the scariest installments of this classic franchise to audiences worldwide.”

Halloween Returns is produced by Malek Akkad with Matthew Stein as executive producer.

“It’s been a joy to work with so many creative people – ten films. We’re working on eleven as we speak. We’re working on a script right now. A new draft – perfect timing – is supposed to hit the day before Halloween. Hopefully my Halloween night reading will be a good read.”, said Akkad.

 

 

Shock Til You Drop has learned that Halloween Returns will follow the events of 1981’s Halloween 2 and will be connected to the original series and not the Rob Zombie films. The new film will follow the first sequel’s Deputy Gary Hunt, now a sheriff.
