By As you probably know by now, Halloween is getting another reboot next year.
And not only is Jamie Lee Curtis returning to the franchise that gave her a breakthrough role back in 1978, original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle is coming back.
Castle, credited as 'The Shape' in the horror classic, will be coming back for the latest revival in the series, which will be released Friday, 19 October 2018, Bloody Disgusting confirmed.
In that first film, while Castle played the masked villain, it was Tony Moran who played the unmasked Myers (and Will Sandin who played the 6-year-old Michael).
Castle was an ex-USC School of Cinematic Arts schoolmate of director John Carpenter, and according to movie legend earned just $25 a day on the movie.
The website also revealed that in next year's reboot, James Jude Courtney will also be playing Myers.
The movie has also signed up Oscar-winning make-up and visual effects master Christopher Nelson.
Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed in September that she will be playing Laurie Strode one more time in the reboot.
"Same porch. Same clothes. Same issues. 40 years later," she said.
"Headed back to Haddonfield one last time for Halloween. Release date 10/19/18."
As well as having a voice cameo in 1982's Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Curtis led 1998's Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and its direct follow-up from 2002, Halloween: Resurrection.
However, the latest reboot will ignore all previous sequels and reboots (sorry Rob Zombie, that includes your 2007 Halloween and 2009 Halloween II), and will follow on directly from the 1978 original.
Jurassic World's Judy Greer has been cast as Laurie's daughter.
The Halloween reboot screenplay comes from David Gordon Green and Danny McBride, with Green also directing, John Carpenter will be a consultant, as well as providing its score and being an executive producer
"38 years after the original Halloween, I'm going to help to try to make the 10th sequel the scariest of them all," Carpenter said when the film was confirmed.
