When it came to developing an all-new sequel to the original Halloween film, director David Gordon Green looked at one specific line of dialogue from the original movie that motivated the development of this installment.
Green shared with the L.A. Times, ?[Laurie Strode] has a line in the original film when she?s talking to young Tommy Doyle at the climax of the movie. She says, ?Do as I say.? And she says this line with a command that she hasn?t had for the entire film.?
According to ComicBook.com, Green went on to detail how Laurie refusing to be the victim helped him and co-writer Danny McBride create the new film.
Green explained, ?We took that to be her mantra for our film. She?s taken that pivotal moment in her life, and her recognition of facing her fears, and now has been chanting that in meditations for 40 years.?
Jamie Lee Curtis will take her battle with Michael Meyers to theaters on October 19th.
