Director David Gordon Green and John Carpenter, who wrote and directed the original, and who both produce and compose the music for Halloween Kills, wrote a long letter to fans on Twitter in July.
– We are writing this while our hearts are broken that the delay of the film is a discussion at all, but if there is one thing our careers in the film industry have prepared us for, it is the unexpected. In recent weeks, our film family has been looking at the forecast for cinema screenings with concern. We have discussed and struggled with how we can best present Halloween Kills for loyal fans around the world, as well as the new audience we hope to invite to this experience.
Most American cinemas are still closed, and COVID-19 takes hundreds of lives every day in the United States, so we who live elsewhere in the world must be patient. The big movie Tenet had its cinema premiere in the countries of the world that still have open cinemas, and films such as Murder on the Nile, Free Guy and Roald Dahls The Witches is set to get cinema launches in Norway, despite the fact that the situation is uncertain in the home country.
Universal, which distributes the films to Blumhouse, has not only postponed this film – they have shuffled their entire premiere table. The concluding Purgethe movie The Purge Forever and the promising new one Candymanfilm, both are postponed by one year. Halloween Ends, the last Halloween movie, which was shot with Halloween Kills, is postponed until October 14, 2022.
