The interesting thing about this Halloween is it's the 1st under Carpenter being the sole owner of the Franchise after buying it from the Weinstein's. The way they're talking about this movie "seems" like it's going to be the nail in the coffin for Mike. If they're going about having Mike at 61 years old, how much more can they really do following this movie? I read somewhere that they could play the whole "Alternate Universe" type of deal to continue making Halloween movies from the original timeline of the sequels. But again, Carpenter from what I gather has to approve any treatments / pitches made ala what Danny McBride and David Gordon Green did to get the movie Greenlit. It'll be interesting to see what he does if this sh*t is a Homerun.
