“halloween ends” will truly be the end, but is david gordon green up to the task?

David Gordon Green, the Halloween Ends director, will attempt to bring closure to the franchise with his upcoming movie. But can he really do it?

Recently, in an interview with Total Film, filmmaker David Gordon Green discussed many of the aspects of his next two Halloween movies, Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends. In 2018’s thrilling and tautly made Halloween, the film focused on an older Laurie taking on Michael Myers, and Green explained that the movie served as the beginning to the end. I guess that makes the new trilogy’s path clear to us.

“It’s a very different movie than Kills, and both Halloweens,” Green said in reference to Ends. “The script feels very fun. For me, it was essential to say, ‘here’s a conclusive episode to my trilogy.’ I’m trying to bring closure my ‘Laurie Strode versus Michael Myers’ storytelling.”

That means Halloween Ends will be the concluding chapter to Green’s own trilogy, and perhaps the entire universe. However, before the literal end, we will see Halloween Kills be released in theaters October 15, 2021 after it was delayed a whole year due to the pandemic. When Green was asked how Kills would differentiate from the 2018 film, he explained that the sequel would be much angrier. Considering how its predecessor was already brutal, it will be entertaining to see what he does next to up the stakes.

“If the first film was somewhat retelling the origin of Myers and getting us up to speed with where Laurie has been all those years, then part two is about the outrage of Haddonfield,” Green explained. “Mob Rules’ was our working title for the film. It’s about a community that is united by outrage, and divided on how to deal with evil.”

We even got a little first look teaser for Kills, which featured firefighters attempting to put out the fire on Laurie’s house, potentially saving Michael Myers. The 2018 movie was absolutely terrific, as I mentioned before, and its cliffhanger sure left you wanting more. Will you be watching these next two sequels?
