Jamie Lee Curtis Bids Michael Myers Goodbye as Halloween Ends Wraps Filming

Golden Globe winner Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to share a few behind-the-scenes photos from the set of Halloween Ends, confirming that she has officially completed filming her final scenes as the iconic Laurie Strode. The anticipated film is slated to debut in theaters on October 14, 2022.

Curtis went on to reflect on her “bittersweet end” with the long-running franchise, while also expressing her gratitude to the fans, who have supported her, the crew, and the entire cast of Blumhouse’s Halloween trilogy.

Described as a more contained movie, Halloween Ends will once again be directed by David Gordon Green. Franchise lead Jamie Lee Curtis will also be returning to reprise her iconic role as Laurie Strode. Joining Curtis are returning stars Andi Matichak as Allyson Nelson, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, and Will Patton as Deputy Frank Hawkins.

Set in 2022, the story is expected to feature a four-year time jump after the events of the first two films. Green previously revealed that the threequel will most likely include some real-world events such as the pandemic.

In 2018, the horror franchise was rebooted by Blumhouse, with a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 film. It featured Curtis’ return as Laurie Strode after 16 years since appearing in Rick Rosenthal’s Halloween: Resurrection. The 2018 Halloween film had earned positive reviews from critics and fans, with a worldwide gross of over $250 million. Because of this, the studio immediately ordered two sequels, Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends.
