Blumhouse Confirms They Can’t Make More Halloween Sequels Yet

While Blumhouse has big aspirations to continue forward with the Halloween franchise,  no more sequels starring Jamie Lee Curtis can be made just yet.

After Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum recently confirmed that he was trying to get things moving forward on a sequel to the recent hit that managed a total of $253 million at the worldwide box office, the Halloween producer revealed to Moviefone that nothing official is happening yet as Blumhouse has not secured the rights to future installments of the franchise:

“Well, we had talked about it but right now we’re not shooting any “Halloween” movies right now because we don’t have deal rights to the sequels. But I certainly hope to make 10 more but I’ll start with one more.”

The latest Halloween served as a direct follow-up to the original film from John Carpenter — ignoring all other installments in the franchise. Scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis reprised her role as Laurie Strode, coming face to face for what may have been her final confrontation with Michael Myers. While Laurie succeeded in surviving another horrific Halloween being hunted by the Boogeyman, the film left the fate of Michael Myers open enough to continue forward.

Whether or not Jamie Lee Curtis will return for another outing as Laurie Strode remains a mystery. The actress  previously confirmed she would be up for another go against Michael Myers if Halloween director Michael Myers came back to helm another installment. But now Jason Blum has revealed what it would take for Blumhouse to make another sequel:

“It has to touch someone, emotionally, at the company. “Halloween” really touched Ryan Turek. He was really passionate about it. He had a really clear idea of what fans would want to see in the 11^th “Halloween” movie and what they wouldn’t want to see. And that passion drove our decision to do it. So that’s what we need.”
