Halloween Star Jamie Lee Curtis Hasn’t Heard About A Sequel - Yet

Halloween 2018 star Jamie Lee Curtis hasn’t been contacted about a sequel yet - but is totally open for a return. The Halloween franchise famously has many different timelines and continuities, making Laurie Strode’s journey a little convoluted. After she barely survived Michael Myers unprovoked attack in the original Halloween, it was revealed in 1981’s Halloween II that she’s actually his sister, and that’s the reason she was being targeted.

Halloween H20 picked up Laurie’s story 20 years later, after Michael’s presumed death. Laurie’s living in hiding under an assumed name, but needless to say her evil brother tracks her down and after a vicious fight, she seemingly kills him and ends her nightmare. Sadly for her, his death would have meant the end of the franchise too, so the next movie Halloween: Resurrection (2002) reveals she killed an innocent man by mistake. Curtis didn’t want to continue in the role past this point, so Laurie Strode is finally killed by Michael in the opening sequence.

That seemed to permanently rule out Jamie Lee Curtis returning to the series, but she stepped back into Laurie’s shoes for Halloween 2018. This entry ignored every previous movie except the original and found a badly traumatized Laurie defending her daughter and granddaughter when Michael returns for another rampage. The movie was a huge hit for Blumhouse so a sequel is all but guaranteed. However, in a new conversation with EW, Curtis admits she hasn’t heard anything about one:

I have no idea at this point, today, I have no idea. I would make an assumption that if David Gordon Green has a story to tell, that the people involved with the movie would encourage him to tell it. [Laughs] I haven’t been told whether or not he has a story to tell and whether or not he would include Laurie Strode in the telling. Really, time will tell. I know David is a busy guy.
