Blumhouse Productions, Miramax and Trancas International are teaming up for a brand new Halloween film. John Carpenter, who directed the original film, will be involved with the project as executive producer and creative consultant.
Blumhouse.com also reports that Carpenter is likely to compose the score for the upcoming film.
"Halloween needs to return to its traditions," Carpenter said. "I feel like the movies have gotten away from that… Michael is not just a human being; he's a force of nature, like the wind. That's what makes him so scary."
A preliminary release date for the upcoming film has not yet been announced.
NOTE: The original film is available on Blu-ray in Anchor Bay's
