Chatting to star, the incomparable Jamie Lee Curtis, she told us about returning to Haddonfield, how Gordon Green and Danny McBride have smartly layered real life events – #MeToo, civil unrest across the world and more – into a slasher film and why their cinema upbringing makes them perfect to continue John Carpenter’s legacy.
Gordon Green, meanwhile, tells us about approaching a sequel and whether there was always a plan, bringing new elements to the table we haven’t seen before, why audiences are still drawn to this franchise and protecting the theatrical community experience and why it matters.
