Judy Greer is in talks to join the new Halloween movie as Laurie Strode’s daughter

Blumhouse has already confirmed Jamie Lee Curtis will return to the Halloween series to play Laurie Strode.

It seems the new film will continue on from Halloween 2 and ignore the others. This makes sense as Laurie was killed in 2002’s Halloween: Resurrection.

David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, Your Highness) will direct Halloween and co-write the script for the film with Danny McBride (Alien: Covenant).

Judy Greer (Ant-Man, Archer, Jurassic World) is in negotiations to join the film in the role of Laurie’s daughter, according to Deadline.

Jason Blum recently talked about the film and John Carpenter’s involvement.

Blum also talked about what David Gordon Green, who has mainly directed comedy films, could bring to Halloween.

John Carpenter will executive produce with Malek Akkad producing for Trancas and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse. Green and McBride will also executive produce under their Rough House Pictures banner. Zanne Devine and David Thwaites will oversee for Miramax which is co-financing with Blumhouse.

The film will be in cinemas from Universal Pictures on October 19, 2018, forty years after the premiere of the original film.
