After working on David Gordon Green’s Halloween rejuvenated her excitement about the possibilities of low-budget filmmaking, she decided to pursue the story. 45 years after its inception, the newly minted Oscar winner has made her graphic novel debut with Mother Nature via Titan Comics.
Curtis teamed with aspiring filmmaker Russell Goldman, who served as Green’s assistant on Halloween and as Curtis’ assistant on Halloween Kills, to turn the idea into a screenplay. While the movie version is in the early stages of development at Blumhouse, the opportunity for a comic book adaptation came when Curtis sent the script to Karl Stevens, an artist whose The New Yorker original cartoons she collects.
