Halloween: Miramax Shopping Rights for the Franchise’s Future

With another chapter of the Halloween franchise closed after last year’s trilogy capper Halloween Ends, rights owner Miramax is encouraging a bidding war for the next chapter of the Michael Myers story.

Michael on the Move

From an exclusive report over at Bloody Disgusting, the pact between Miramax, Universal, and Blumhouse ended with Ends, and now there is a significant bidding war between several studios vying to put old Mikey back together for another dose of slashy action.

The intriguing part of this bidding war is that it’s reportedly not just for movie rights but also for television. That would be a first for the series if so.

Halloween has spanned 45 years and 13 films, including remakes, reboots, requels, and one movie that didn’t feature Myers at all. David Gordon Green revived the franchise with Halloween 2018 and its subsequent sequels, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends. The trilogy proved divisive even by Halloween standards but brought a seemingly definitive end to the original story.

Of course, we’ve seen that before, and it will be interesting to see exactly how the next studio to gain the rights approaches the story.
