When David Gordon Green and Danny McBride kicked off production on 2018’s “Halloween,” the duo had already thought about shooting a pair of films back-to-back but they ultimately decided to wait until the first film came out to discover how audience felt about the movie before shifting gears into a sequel.
Once “Halloween” opened to rave reviews and became a box office smash, producer Jason Blum gave the greenlight on not only a second film but a third in the series to complete a new “Halloween” trilogy. Green and McBride once again teamed up on the script with all of the cast from the 2018 film signing onto return for the sequel.
