Jamie Lee Curtis’s return to the Halloween franchise has got everyone excited, and this new trailer should make fans even more giddy.
The latest teaser for the upcoming reboot/sequel re-frames the movie as a true crime documentary to put a new twist on things for the eleventh movie in the series.

Director David Gordon Green told Entertainment Weekly: “Yeah, there’s a team of British podcasters that are studying for various reasons the crimes of 1978.
“[They] are there to kind of learn more about the mindset of a madman and they accidentally end up stirring up the hornet’s nest, so to speak.”
So, a little bit of Halloween crossed with Serial/Making A Murderer, perhaps?
As previously revealed, the upcoming Halloween movie ignores pretty much all the films in the series except John Carpenter’s 1978 original.
So that means Laurie Strode (Curtis) dying off-screen between Halloween II and Halloween 4 is forgotten about, as well as her dying in Halloween: Resurrection.
And JLC is pretty pleased about that, by the sounds of things.
“You have to remember, all of the other storylines were really just inventions of other writers and other directors needing to add on to the story that was told before them, and it just got complicated,” she said.
“Even the invention of [Myers] being [Laurie’s] brother – that was in a writers’ room somewhere.
“What I loved was the cleanliness of honouring the original movie and just building on that story with a very delicate hand.”
