Danny McBride is teaming up with director David Gordon Green to remake the legendary horror franchise “Halloween,” the film’s original director John Carpenter said on Facebook on Thursday.
Gordon Green and McBride will write the script together and Gordon Green will direct the project for Miramax, which is targeting a theatrical release on theaters on October 19, 2018.
Carpenter is executive producing and will possibly score the remake. Malek Akkad will serve as producer under his Trancas banner, with Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Productions along with Gordon Green and McBride via their Rough House Pictures banner.
