Horror Icon Breaks Silence on Cult Classic Remake With Stranger Things Star 25 Years Later

Jamie Lee Curtis Gives Seal of Approval to Halloween Ends Reboot

Jamie Lee Curtis, the iconic scream queen who brought Laurie Strode to life in the Halloween franchise, has finally spoken out about the upcoming remake of the cult classic, Halloween Ends. The film, which is set to star Stranger Things breakout star Millie Bobby Brown as a young Laurie Strode, has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Curtis, however, says she is "excited" about the project and believes Brown is the perfect actress to take on the role.

Curtis: 'Millie Bobby Brown is a Phenomenal Actress'

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Curtis praised Brown's acting skills, calling her "a phenomenal actress." She also said that she believes Brown will bring a "fresh perspective" to the role of Laurie Strode. "I think she's going to do a great job," Curtis said. "She's a very talented young actress."

Brown, who is best known for her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, has quickly become one of the most sought-after young actresses in Hollywood. She has starred in several films, including Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Enola Holmes. Brown's casting in Halloween Ends has been met with some criticism from fans, who argue that she is too young to play the role of Laurie Strode. Curtis, however, believes that Brown's age is an asset.

"I think it's important to bring a fresh perspective to the role," Curtis said. "Laurie Strode is a character who has been through a lot, and I think Millie Bobby Brown can bring a lot of depth and complexity to the role."

Halloween Ends: What We Know So Far

Halloween Ends is the thirteenth installment in the Halloween franchise. The film is directed by David Gordon Green, who also directed the previous two installments, Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills (2021). The film is written by Green, Danny McBride, and Paul Brad Logan.

The plot of Halloween Ends is being kept under wraps, but it is known that the film will pick up four years after the events of Halloween Kills. Laurie Strode is living with her granddaughter, Allyson (Andi Matichak), and is trying to finish writing her memoir. However, Michael Myers is still on the loose, and he is determined to finish what he started.

Halloween Ends is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 14, 2022.
