In the wake of Halloween Kills we’re getting David Gordon Green‘s Halloween Ends, the final film in this new trilogy. Halloween Ends is currently dated for October 14, 2022.
Gordon Green recently told Bloody Disgusting, “Halloween Ends is complete, and actually, I’m getting John Carpenter’s notes on the new draft later. So, I’m excited about that. There is resolve. Like any trilogy, you want it to have a beginning, middle, and end. We had a concept of the ending, and two years ago, we wrote the first draft of it. So, we had it all mapped out before we went into production on Kills. We knew where it was going, and we wanted Kills to be a symphony in the middle of the book of the Strode saga.”
In a new chat with Collider, Gordon Green reveals a new tidbit about Halloween Ends, indicating that we’re about to jump forward in time for the final part of this sequel trilogy.
“There is a time jump. It gets back onto a contemporary timeline, so it’ll jump four years,” Gordon Green explains to Collider. He continues, “This weekend, I was rampaging on a new pass of it, but we start prep in two weeks. So they’re wanting me to lock in something more definitive, which I think we’ll be in good shape for that to shoot in January.
“The script’s in great shape. It’s just a matter of committing to certain paths and characters and constructing new set pieces.”
Both Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills take place across the very same night, with the ending to Kills suggesting that Michael Myers truly cannot be stopped. An interesting note for the film to go out on, as Gordon Green and the creative team had previously expressed their desire to remove any and all supernatural elements from their Halloween movies.
Stay tuned for more on Halloween Ends as we learn it.
