Well this announcement may not be too exciting to every generation people over a certain age will highly anticipate Jamie Lee Curtis starring in a Murder She Wrote movie coming out in December of 2027
Jamie Lee Curtis’ “Murder, She Wrote” adaptation has tapped “Pitch Perfect” and upcoming “Legally Blonde” prequel director Jason Moore is going to direct ..
Disappears to be a very Niche movie idea. Jamie Lee Curtis obviously has the horror movie cred and many people who are not alive anymore fondly would recall Angela Lansbury giving us a weekly mystery murder show. We’ll see how it works..
Jamie Lee Curtis didn’t know she was about to take on three more “Halloween” movies when she said yes to David Gordon Green’s 2018 film, the sequel to her 1978 film.
During a SXSW panel titled, “If Not Now, When, if Not Me, Who? Pivoting and Manifesting,” Curtis opened up about filmmaking and her career as an actress and producer. She first named her appreciation for Jason Blum.
“The only reason I am sitting in this chair today is because of Jason. Jason Blum, who runs Blumhouse, is the one who brought back the ‘Halloween’ movies,” she said. However, when she got the call, she thought it was one movie and didn’t hear until way later that they were planning to do more..
Hosted by Iliza Shlesinger at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the event centered on the accomplishments of Variety‘s five honorees, among many other women throughout media and entertainment over the past year. But more often than not, those women turned the spotlight towards other industries.
Jamie Lee Curtis made headlines when she was critical of ICE..
“The team at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The power of women is in every single woman who works at that hospital,” Curtis said. “Every nurse, every child-life specialist, every doctor, every mother of every patient who shows up to try to help these children — that’s the power of women. We see it every day. Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is in desperate need right now. The cuts that have been made are awful, and because of the situation in the government, so much of their funding has been lost. People are afraid to go to the hospital because they’re afraid they’re going to be picked up by ICE agents, so they won’t go that hospital.”
Amid the controversy that the media noticed… Sydney Sweeney with her dress was being watched by everyone else..
Jamie Lee Curtis posts often on social media. Normally she receives about the normal amount of attention any other Hollywood star would.
All normal..
Until she posts an image showing that she has a photo of a naked child stuffed in a bath tub that is!!
She did that today and quickly deleted in a post saying she had Covid.. The internet was immediately engaged and enraged.. she took down the imagery.. but questions have continued.
Hanging on one of the walls of Curtis’s office is a large photo of a child who is contorted and laying in in a tub.
Online sleuths have located the art and shared a better view of the picture, and it is apparently a top-down shot of a child sitting in a sort of makeshift pool created out of a plastic storage tub. Green sandals can be seen sitting outside of the tub.
The piece is the work of photographer Betsy Schneider, according to Lenscratch.com.
Regardless, many social media users were quick to question why that particular art piece was featured in the actress’s office, with some calling it “sick” and “creepy.”
At the time we post this Curtis has yet to publicly respond to any questions about the artwork..
Very interesting and deep perspective from Jamie Lee Curtis on what the popularity of Laurie Strode has meant..
He writes:
For those Halloween @halloweenmovie fans out there. You might have heard the story and if so I apologize but since it’s all coming to an end I thought I would share it. When I work on anything I like people to wear name tag so that we all get to know each other and I can know people’s names since most people know mine and my job I don’t know theirs and their job. We did it on Halloween 2018 and all of the Halloween films. My last day of shooting of the 2018 Halloween was a scene of Laurie Strode, alone in a truck watching Michael Myers leave for the Supermax prison that he would be ensconced in for the rest of his days. It was a scene with no dialogue and it just said that Laurie is in the truck with a gun and some alcohol and she is remembering and reliving the past 40 years of trauma and sadness and loss and rage and grief. When they came to get me to shoot that scene as I arrived on site the entire crew was standing silent with their hands behind their back’s in silent solidarity with Jamie for what she was about to act as Laurie and the entire crew were all wearing this name tag. What they were saying, which audiences have said now for 44 years, is that they were with me, with Laurie and her struggles and that she and I were not alone. If there’s a ending message to all of these movies it is that Laurie Strode represented never giving up. Cue Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. Don’t give up. No matter what. Thank you and I love you and thank you @bryantology for sending me this this morning to remind me.
Halloween Ends—we think—this coming weekend in theaters and Peacock..
Jamie Lee Curtis has announced that she has officially wrapped filming on Halloween Ends, and with that, possibly on the franchise for the final time.
“A bittersweet END for me on the Halloween movies. I’ve made great friends and have collaborated with wonderful artists on these three movies and today my part in the film has been completed and with it the END for me of this trilogy. It’s all because of the fans who have always supported me and more importantly, Laurie.”

Enter Michael Myers..
At this point, even with the Peacock release along with theaters, the newest inception into the foray of Halloween flicks is set to debut at $50 mil or more; Quite the success story given some spate of negative reviews from critics. Movie goers have set into two camps: LOVE OR HATE. Very few happy mediums..
The bloodiest installment yet imagines a world where Halloween 2 never occurred, so neither did any other.. The opening sequence provides a beautifully made 1978 flashback scene that would theoretically show us what the Shape did after he escapes Dr. Loomis’ gunfire.. This film even includes a Loomis lookalike to ad the ambiance to to the scene. When we fast forward to the modern times, Michael escapes a fire and murders fire fighters. the elderly.. anyone else who accidentally gets in his way. The trail of blood is long and cruel in HALLOWEEN KILLS..
Well..
The name is Halloween Kills.. so that.
Filmmaker David Gordon Green’s R-rated slasher pic earned $22.9 million on Friday from 3,705 theaters in North America for a projected $50 million weekend. Halloween Kills also launched Friday on Universal’s sister streaming service Peacock.
What is interesting is that it is not just the nostalgia seekers going to HALLOWEEN KILLS.. According to exit polls, Halloween Kills is being fueled by younger consumers — 73 percent of Friday ticket buyers were 35 and under — and a diverse audience..
Jamie Lee Curtis used the opening success to brag a bit on Instagram about the achievement:
WE DIDN’T SUCK! What you don’t know about me is that I am incredibly competitive and yet always underplay expectations. Always have. I hide expectations and couch them behind the belief that the process is what is most important but at the end of the day you still want it to be successful for myriad reasons. Mostly for the fans and then the studio, the creative teams and all the hard work that people put into it. When Freaky Friday started its release and everybody said it would do well I remember simply saying to everyone involved “I hope we don’t suck.” When that movie reached $100 million I had T-shirts made for all of us that said “we didn’t suck.”I think I may need to be getting some new T-shirts made for my Halloween family. Happy Halloween!
The film, set to be released in October, was shaped by events of the planet, according to the star.. #MeeToo in 2018, and mob violence later.. With the delay of Halloween Kills from 2020 to 21, more of that mob violence was on display in the world..
“This all began when Jason Blum wrote David Gordon Green a one-word email: ‘Halloween?’ And David and Danny McBride conceived a trilogy. We got to see in the 2018 movie that Laurie had become the personification of trauma. It married at the time when the MeToo Movement was at it’s ascent. Here you have a movie about a woman traumatized for 40 years and she is now rising up. And it collided with what was happening globally.”

“And what they’ve done with the second part of the trilogy was, ‘What happens when the rest of the people in that town get angry?’ We made the movie and the uprisings that started to happen where people were taking to the streets – it was all happening with what was to be the release of our movie. Which is about mob violence. So somehow they intuited in understanding that the next wave of trauma is rage. They wrote a movie about mob violence and five months later, the mobs started to gather. We were supposed to come out a year ago. And then Jan. 6 happened – this was supposed to be released in October of last year and now we’re watching a mob descend on the U.S. capital. That’s what the next movie is about: the town of Haddonfield, all of the people in the town who were also victims of Michael Myers. There’s a group of people who are very angry at the authorities and are going to take the law into their own hands.”
