Jamie Lee Curtis says goodbye to 'Halloween Ends' and hello to ... (USA TODAY)

Jamie Lee Curtis puts the finishing touches on Laurie Strode's story in 'Halloween Ends' as she also begins a new chapter as 'a player' in Hollywood.

To be in that conversation is “beautiful and couldn’t be more special,” she says. “I now have the opportunity to have a creative life that I've dreamt about my whole life and never had the foothold for it.” She wrote and will direct an eco-horror movie called “Mother Nature” that’s “been in my head since I was 19” and also started a production company within Jason Blum’s Blumhouse that allows her to buy books and take them to the screen. Someone sent her a faux Oscar ad with a picture of her character, IRS inspector Deirdre Beaubeirdra, “looking insane and it just says, ‘Consider this,’ ” Curtis recalls. Curtis is tossing aside any and all “Wouldn’t it be nice?” posturing, too. [Michael Myers](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2021/10/13/jamie-lee-curtis-halloween-movie-franchise-ranked-worst-best/6097569001/) one last time, and on the first day of shooting her closing film in the horror franchise, Curtis couldn’t figure out why her face and jaw hurt. It's too personal and it's why it's so good, but it's also why it hurts so much.” As “Ends” begins, Curtis’ horror icon is in a relatively peaceful place when she meets Corey (Rohan Campbell) and sees a fellow pariah. Throughout it all, she’s been a key collaborator in fleshing out Laurie’s “soulfulness,” says director/co-writer David Gordon Green. “And yet the one thing I don't think I will do is open a book. “I guarantee you there will be one day when all of this dies down, all of this Laurie love (and) I will be sitting with my little dog, who will be very happy to have me home, and I will sob and sob and sob," she says, choking up. What's happening?’ I looked in the mirror and went, ‘Ohhh.’ Laurie was genuinely smiling, and all of a sudden I realized how long it had been since Laurie smiled,” Curtis recalls after a scene where her iconic survivor has a flirtatious run-in with an old friend (Will Patton). “I live and breathe my truth.

Box Office: 'Halloween Ends' Targets Big $50 Million-Plus Debut ... (Variety)

If those estimates hold, it'll be the first movie since “Thor: Love and Thunder” in July to open to at least $50 million. “Halloween Ends” is the rare day- ...

The film, which is dedicated to Mamie, ultimately belongs to her.” In any case, “Halloween Ends” cost an economical $20 million to produce, so it won’t take a ton of coin to turn a profit. If “Halloween Kills” is any indication, ticket sales for the grand finale could be front-loaded; “Halloween Kills” collapsed by 70% in its sophomore outing and tapped out with $92 million in North America and $131 million globally. “Halloween Ends,” which is playing in 3,800 North American theaters, has the added benefit of monopolizing the entire Imax and premium large format footprint. “Halloween Kills” opened to $49 million last October while landing simultaneously on the NBCUniversal-owned Peacock — a bloody-good result given the COVID-era limitations in 2021. If those estimates hold, it’ll be the first movie since “Thor: Love and Thunder” in July to open to at least $50 million.

Box office preview: 'Halloween Ends' hopes to finish horror franchise ... (Goldderby)

This is the finale of David Gordon Green's trilogy and apparently to the entire franchise that started with John Carpenter.

Releasing’s “Till” biopic, starring Danielle Deadwyler as the mother of the murdered Emmett Till (played by Jalyn Hall), as she tries to get justice. Even more worrying is that Universal has taken its sweet time showing “Halloween Ends” to most critics, waiting until Wednesday night with reviews embargoed until Thursday afternoon – most true fans will have already bought tickets to see the movie on Thursday night or Friday to avoid any spoilers. That slump from one movie to the next could either have been due to the pandemic or to the movie being so relatively available on streaming, both giving horror enthusiasts a good excuse not to see “Halloween Kills” in theaters. Or they could just hit “play” on Peacock on Thursday night and not even have to worry about parking, babysitters, etc. “Halloween” has had a long history of ups and downs at the box office leading up til 2018, when Green’s “requel” was generally well-received, It also did fantastic at the box office, opening with $76.2 million, which is greater than every single other entry had grossed IN TOTAL up until that point. Maybe it was no surprise when it opened under $50 million (more than the original 1978 movie made in total) and wound up with only $92 million, domestically, compared to the predecessor’s $159 domestic gross and $255.4 million worldwide.

'Halloween Ends' – Bloody Disgusting's Boo Crew Podcast ... (Bloody Disgusting)

Jamie Lee Curtis battles Michael Myers one more time in Halloween Ends, which brings this particular trilogy to an end on Peacock and in theaters on.

With this, I believe the idea was present in David Goyer’s original treatment and was a way to motivate the back half of Voight’s journey, to keep it a little vague. “With this, we wanted to find the beauty and the horror together in a more overt fashion. Hopefully, you’re pulled into the corners of the frame, looking at and considering how that might come into play in the future. “I didn’t know what it would mean to go back to something that I would define as the ’80s, necessarily, but a lot of that was in the way Ben [Lovett] and I approached the score. I think for me, Hellraiser was about this line between the abhorrent and the gorgeous, the glamorous and the repulsive, and feeling that irony present in the Cenobites. Part of it is just delivering what we’re excited about, where Hellraiser is concerned on a larger palette, and wanting to find that in both the Cenobite designs and the design. I think I was just too young the first time I saw it to really pick all that up. Not just the old Chris Young themes, but also some of the new ones that Ben used that will often go for something melodic and reflective of a character’s emotional state and indicative of what we’re looking at or what theme that the beat is on necessarily.” It needed to be a love letter to an audience, to a fanbase,” Gordon Green tells The Boo Crew. It was creating a new character that conveniently got to weave itself into the love story, that got to explore the manifesting of evil as it relates to Haddonfield, and also open up a side of intuition and instinct in Laurie that we haven’t seen before.” But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.” Jamie says a beautiful goodbye to Laurie Strode and an exciting look at what’s to come, David talks about the emotional journey designed for you in this incredibly unique Halloween film, crafting an all new vision for Haddonfield and so much more!”

But Laurie taught me that life can also be beautiful, filled with love and art and life!” “As I write this, I keep connecting the dots.

Danielle Harris finally met Jamie Lee Curtis for the first time as the stars of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween united for an epic photo.

Perhaps he can go to battle with another major star from the Halloween series by having Danielle Harris return as an older Jamie Lloyd in a Halloween movie that only acknowledges parts 4 and 5, as Harris' character was recast and killed off in the sixth film. The pair did manage to meet Curtis that night, and as it turns out, they weren't the only classic horror stars in attendance, as A Nightmare on Elm Street stars [Heather Langenkamp](https://movieweb.com/person/heather-langenkamp/) and Amanda Wyss were also present.

I'm gonna corner her and tell her how much I appreciate her for setting the bar so high for all of us women in horror, because she really did start it for us, so we're very appreciative." While Harris played Laurie Strode's daughter in one of the Halloween timelines, she had never crossed paths with Curtis on a film set or elsewhere.

Jamie Lee Curtis on Saying Goodbye to Laurie Strode in 'Halloween ... (Variety)

At the premiere of "Halloween Ends," Jamie Lee Curtis reflected on the legacy of Laurie Strode, after playing the character for 44 years.

Never give up. “Getting to be along this last ride for Jamie Lee and getting to watch her, and walk alongside her, as she takes her last walk in Laurie Strode’s shoes, and take the most elegant bow I think you could for a character… Now, of course, I have my children, and that is my life, and that’s crucial. “I feel like I haven’t given up, that I have continued to try, but not at the level of Laurie Strode.” “The universal understanding of Laurie Strode is that as this original ‘final girl’ she never gave up, always pushing through no matter what. The back-to-back events capped an emotional world tour for the scream queen as she says goodbye to Laurie Strode, a character she’s played for the last 44 years, since John Carpenter’s original “Halloween” in 1978.

'Halloween Ends' Star Andi Matichak on Pivoting from Soccer Star to ... (Collider.com)

Halloween Ends star Andi Matichak explains what inspired her to take a chance on acting and pass on her hard-earned soccer scholarship.

What was very, very weird and very cool and made me feel like we were really making something special and we're all meant to be doing it is one of our writers, Paul Logan, he's actually doing the novel for Halloween Ends this time around, and so he was there writing the novel the whole time, and we started talking about the journaling and he and I made up multiple key moments in this woman's life that were exactly the same. Eager to hear more from Matichak on her journey in the industry thus far and her experience working on the Halloween franchise? That was very helpful to understand her, and there was a lot of day-to-day things and mundane things that kind of come up and then depending on the scene, I would go back and read those journal entries on set. [Laughs] But one of the things that I did that was very helpful is I got a journal and I just started journaling as Allyson. “We had a lot of time to just kind of sit and marinate on the script before we started filming, which can go one of two ways. During our conversation, Matichak recalled how, due to the pandemic, the release of Halloween Kills and the start of production on Halloween Ends were delayed. After making appearances on a handful of shows, including 666 Park Avenue, Matichak scored the opportunity to join the Halloween family and learn from one of the best of the best, Jamie Lee Curtis. “You have the ability as number one to really dictate how the day’s gonna go and your energy says a lot about you and about the space that's gonna be created to create in. A lot of a lot of my exploration of self kind of started to make sense. But I also had a lot of respect for my coaches and the program that I had signed on to play for down in Florida, and so it was important to me to not try to do both things and do them mediocrely, but to pick one and really go for it.” While the main focus was soccer, Matichak did eventually make the decision to carve out some time for a special modeling opportunity — the chance to work in Greece. Initially, Laurie is eager to help Corey when he’s bullied and is in favor of the budding romance brewing between him and Allyson, but then something changes.
