Halloween (2018) will be a direct sequel to the 1978 original film

It will ignore Halloween II all the way through Halloween: Resurrection.

The forthcoming Halloween reboot will be a sequel to the original movie only, according to series creator John Carpenter. Halloween fans are already aware of how twisted the series’ timeline has become over the years. The original film spawned seven sequels, but that’s not as straightforward as it sounds. Halloween II picked up where the original left off, revealing killer Michael Myers and his victim Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) are actually brother and sister; the movie ended with Myers seemingly dead for good.
Halloween III: Season Of The Witch told an original story and was intended to launch an anthology series; mediocre box-office and angry fans killed that idea. Michael returned to life for Halloween IV-VI, only for Halloween: H20 to wipe those films out of existence by pretending they didn’t happen. Michael finally killed his sister Laurie in Halloween: Resurrection, before the franchise was rebooted with Rob Zombie’s Halloween in 2007. That means at least four separate continuities across ten films, but the next movie is looking to untangle all those knots and go back to basics.

Judy Greer is in talks to join the Halloween franchise as Karen, the daughter of Jamie Lee Curtis’s Laurie Strode. Blumhouse Productions continues to grow as a major influence in the horror genre, and will now be bringing back one of the most beloved horror franchises of all time. Blumhouse is now helping David Gordon Green and Danny McBride’s sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 hit Halloween get off the ground and in production.
After a few months of talk, some big news came the way of the Halloween sequel when it was announced that Jamie Lee Curtis would return to her iconic role of Laurie Strode once more. As part of this announcement, the sequel also received a late 2018 release date, meaning the start of production is likely not far off. That looks to be true with the first new cast member joining.

An underrated scary movie

So it's basically the same movie except lauries daughter is thrown into the mix? What about her son(Josh Hartnett)?

Ignoring Halloween 2 is dumb
Also Halloween 3 is awesome

And I thought the terminator franchise was at an all-time low.

If you ignore Halloween 2 are they still brother and sister? That didn't come up until the nurse told Loomis in the car when he forced the sheriff to turn around and go to the hospital in the sequel.

Just make it scary and I'll ignore all the obvious plot holes. Fair trade.

They done fricked this up

Halloween IV is also underrated, it was the only film after the first to capture the right atmosphere for Haddonfield

Where did they say they were making the same movie?

I'm just taking a guess.

I disagree.
Danny McBride, one of the co-writers of this film, has said they want to make Michael Myers a mortal antagonist. Halloween II made him into some unstoppable force who survived six shots to the torso without missing a step, a shot to the face, and finally (hypothetically) surviving an explosion and being burned to a crisp in the ensuing inferno.

Smart move.

He did get shot multiple times point blank and fall off a balcony then walk away in the original.

Strange choice at this point but I don't mind disregarding the majority of the films. I question why you'd ignore 2 though and not just pick up years later after that one.
\With it being after 1, I'm sure Loomis has died off in the 40 years since whereas he easily could be retconned to have just died in the blast at the end of 2.

A bulletproof vest could explain away the gunshots and people in Hollywood films survive falls like that all the time.

A bit out of character. All I'm saying is him being unstoppable didn't start with the sequel.

Only if you go by the sequels. You have to remember that this new film is ignoring all of them, save the original 1978 film. In that particular movie he was very clever and very resourceful.
- He successfully orchestrated a mass breakout of mental patients
- In the resulting confusion, he was able to escape from the mental hospital
- He escaped using a car that he never learned to operate
- He was smart enough to ditch his hospital attire for something less conspicuous
- He broke into a convenience store, stealing a mask and a set of knives
- And he successfully operated under the RADAR for hours, despite the entire Haddonfield PD being on the lookout for him
It stands to reason he knew the likelihood of him getting shot was high. Who knows? Maybe he was able to procure a bulletproof vest in his travels.

Well let's hope they don't use that option in the new movie because it'll go right next to sitting in a prison cell as worst moments in franchise history.

Halloween H20 already ignored Halloween 4-6, then we had a reboot series, now this one will be a sequel to the original film and ignore everything else? Jesus Christ...
I’m sure it’ll probably still be a good movie but at least count the original Halloween 2 as canon. I like that one.
