Universal has confirmed that David Gordon Green and Danny McBride’s successful reincarnation of John Carpenter’s Halloween franchise from Blumhouse is indeed returning — with not one but two new films.
The studio said Friday that Halloween Kills will bow on October 16, 2020, and Halloween Ends, is set for October 15, 2021. Watch the video announcement below.
The continuation of the rebooted franchise featuring original star Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, her nemesis Michael Myers and the return of Carpenter in a key role had been tipped previously — a no-brainer after last year’s Green-direct pic directed became the highest-grossing installment in the horror franchise at $255.5 million worldwide.
Trancas International Films, Miramax and Blumhouse Productions return as producers, with Green and McBride set to write both new installments (the first along with Scott Teems and the second with Paul Brad Logan and Chris Bernier), all based on characters created by Carpenter and Debra Hill for the 1978 original.

Exclusive: In a moment in which Facebook is finalizing a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission to pay $5 billion primarily for the 2018 Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal, Deadline hears that Agbo is mounting a movie about the young pink-haired data consultant, Christopher Wylie, who purportedly was at the center of the whole thing.
David Gordon Green is in talks to direct an untitled film that has a finished script by Avengers: Endgame screenwriters Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. I’m told Green is eyeing it for after he returns to helm the second leg of his massive hit franchise reboot Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis for Blumhouse and Universal. Agbo will finance a film that is on a fast track for a 2020 start date.
Agbo will put together the whole package and will then secure a distributor for a film that will be a lot less flattering for Mark Zuckerberg than the last big movie,...

In April, Facebook launched an ad campaign aimed at tamping down privacy concerns that have mushroomed since the 2016 election. A few weeks before the commercial made rounds, CEO Mark Zuckerberg was called before Congress to explain his company’s position in the wake of the revelation that the data of tens of millions of Facebook users was harvested by Cambridge Analytica, a data firm hired by the Trump campaign. The social media giant’s stock plummeted. “From now on, Facebook will do more to keep you safe and protect your privacy,...

Representatives from Facebook and Cambridge Analytica have been called to give further evidence to British lawmakers looking into fake news and misinformation. Facebook’s chief technology officer, Mike Schroepfer (pictured), is the latest executive from the social media giant’s top staff scheduled to appear before members of Parliament, while Cambridge Analytica’s former CEO, Alexander Nix, will return for a second session.
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has declined requests to appear before Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
The committee is examining the difference between biased but legitimate commentary and propaganda and untruths, and the impact of fake news on public understanding of the world. The panel has focused on the spread of misinformation and alleged Russian interference in key public votes, including the 2016 Brexit referendum.
The inquiry became the subject of greater public interest following whistle-blower Christopher Wylie’s revelations in March that 50 million...

Update (March 21, 2018): Mark Zuckerberg has released an official statement reacting to the data scandal. You can read it in its entirety on his official Facebook page.
The Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal is causing directors, actors, and more to delete their Facebook accounts and say goodbye to the social media platform. News broke earlier this month that data analysis company Cambridge Analytica took private information from more than 50 million Facebook profiles to influence the 2016 election.
The data scandal was revealed by whistleblower Christopher Wylie in an interview with ITN Channel 4 News. Wylie, who helped found Cambridge Analytica, said he developed a Facebook app that paid individuals to take a survey. Any user that took the survey but did not adjust his or her privacy settings had as much account data as possible taken and recorded by Analytica.
According to Wylie, the data was of interest to Steve Bannon. The former...

In the midst of the Cambridge Analytica story that is dominating the front pages – leaked to the press thanks to the bravery of whistleblower Christopher Wylie, it seems the perfect timing to explore the tale of Mark Felt, who helped journalists uncover the Watergate scandal in 1972 – a set of events that followed those of which were depicted in Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated The Post. Pertinent it may be, but the film is lacking somewhat in dramatic tension.
Felt, portrayed here by Liam Neeson, held the second highest-ranking post at the FBI, all the while acting as the anonymous informant ‘Deep Throat’, leaking shocking, imperative content to reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein that would eventually uncover the Watergate scandal. Felt had anticipated taking over the reigns following the death of J. Edgar Hoover, but President Nixon appointed L. Patrick Gray (Marton Csokas) instead. Felt was sick of the government’s...
