Nick Castle Returns as Michael Myers Halloween 2018

Nick Castle, the actor who played the original Michael Myers in John
Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic, Halloween, has been recast as Michael
Myers for the upcoming Halloween movie due for release in 2018. 

With original Halloween director, John Carpenter set to produce the
movie as well as creating the score, plus Jamie Lee Curtis returning as
Laurie Strode, this is a dream reunion for fans who felt let down with
the direction the franchise had taken with the 2 previous instalments by
Rob Zombie , not to mention Halloween Resurrection. 

The new Halloween movie will be written by David Gordon Green and Danny
McBride, with Green also directing.
McBride reveals that the film will focus more on tension, instead of
gore, like John Carpenter's original.

Here's what he had to say about it. 

"We're trying to. The original is all about tension. Laurie Strode
(Jamie Lee Curtis) doesn't even know that Michael Myers exists until the
last minutes of the movie. So much of it you're in anticipation of
what's going to happen and the dread that Carpenter spins so
effortlessly in that film, I think we were really trying to get it back
to that. We're trying to mine that dread. Mine that tension and not just
go for gore and ultra-violence that you see some horror movies lean on.
To us, it was all about bringing back the creep factor and trying to
find the horror in your own backyard, in our own homes."
