Halloween 2: 7 Big News Revelations About The Upcoming Sequel

7. It's Actually Happening

This may seem like a granted, considering the enormous box office success of the prior film and the franchise's reputation for endless sequels, but it was far from a sure thing even just a week ago.

Everyone at Blumhouse has been quick to point how happy they were with their first Halloween film and how they clearly wanted to make another film but they were always very careful to point out that it wasn't a certainty just yet. Most recently, Jason Blum himself said when questioned about the potential for a sequel just days ago;

“I’m trying, I’m trying, trying. Not official yet but I’m trying.”

All of this uncertainty was probably due to the fact that more so than any other Blumhouse property, Halloween is a franchise with big talent attached to it (Jamie Lee Curtis, Danny McBride, John Carpenter, Judy Greer, David Gordon Green) and Blum and co. wanted to make sure they had all their ducks in a row before officially confirming anything to the press.

But according to an exclusive scoop over at Collider, the sequel looks to finally be a reality.
