Last October it was revealed that Miramax scored the TV rights to the Halloween franchise, becoming one with Malek Akkad’s Trancas International Films to bring Michael Myers to the small screen for the first time. News was scarce since then but now Miramax head Marc Helwig is providing more details about the show.
Per Deadline, Helwig said not to expect a continuation of David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy. Helwig said, "The foundation of it is the original film, the John Carpenter movie, the characters of that film, and perhaps a group of characters that we haven’t really focused on that much in recent film versions or even in a number of them."
He continued,"It’s a creative reset completely and going back to the original film, as opposed to spinning out of any of the more recent film adaptations.” Helwig says that they are also fast tracking the series. He added, "We’ve had lots of exciting conversations in recent months with a number of really talented people, and I think we’ll have a pretty good idea of what we’re going to be doing very soon. We’re hoping to lock down the creative team very soon.”
