Saw writers to write the new Halloween

The writers of the later half of the Saw franchise have been hired to pen yet another adaptation of John Carpenter's Halloween. Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan have branched away from the Saw franchise since its end and now it seems they are returning to horror.

It is worth noting that this isn't technically another reboot or remake of Halloween, but it is being described as a "recalibration." There isn't really any telling what that means exactly, but I would assume it's going to be another attempt to distance the franchise from Rob Zombie's two Halloween films. This new Halloween project, appropriately titled Halloween 3D, has been in development for a while but nothing has moved forward yet. This is the first update we've had for several months.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Dunstan or Melton so this doesn't excite me at all.

Scout Taylor-Compton teases Halloween return

We learned that yet another Halloween movie was in the works the other day and there was immediate speculation on whether it will be another reboot or a third installment based on Rob Zombie's reboot and sequel. Well, the star of Zombie's take on the franchise has begun teasing everyone on Twitter. Whether she has any credit remains unknown.

Scout Taylor-Compton portrayed the nerdy high school babysitter Laurie Strode in both Zombie installments and has gone to Twitter and teased that she "can't wait to jump back into Laurie Strodes mindset." Now if this turns out to be a somewhat subtle casting announcement pretty much seals the deal that Halloween 3D will be a third installment of the Zombie reboot.
Just keep in mind that the last Halloween movie we got was in 2009, so she very well could be full of shit. BUT, given the way H2 ended I have an idea on what they might be doing with her. I would rather not say it in too much detail, but if you saw H2 you would agree with me that we very well could see her put on a Michael Myers mask at some point.

Whatever happens with this it should prove to be either very interesting or something that will mean nothing. If they continue Laurie Strode with Scout Taylor-Compton I won't be upset, I guess. She played a believable enough, modern version of the character.

Michael Myers to return in Halloween 3D

Yeah, this is really happening. At least it will have the legendary villain.

Michael Myers will reportedly return for the 3D version of Halloween. It is still unclear on whether this will be another reboot or a continuation of Rob Zombie's reboot and sequel.
Also bear in mind that this project has been on the back burner until, apparently, now. Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier had been working on a screenplay, but it has pretty much been in limbo since.

The basic plot of the original, 1978 film is centered around an institutionalized man who killed his family as a small boy. He escapes and brings mayhem to his hometown, specifically a bookworm high school babysitter played by Jamie Lee Curtis.

Dimension pulls Halloween 3D from release schedule

Meh... I wasn't looking forward to it anyway.
