Miramax Plans Halloween IX
A studio source told Zap2It.com that Miramax plans to continue the
Halloween horror franchise with a ninth film. The proposed film is
currently without a confirmed cast or director, but is tentatively
scheduled for release in the summer of 2004, the site said.
Last year's Halloween: Resurrection, starring rapper Busta Rhymes and
Tyra Banks, featured the return of homicidal maniac Michael Myers
from the dead. The film earned $28 million at the box office, making
it the third-highest grossing film in the franchise behind John
Carpenter's original Halloween, with an estimated $47 million, and
1998's Halloween: 20, which earned about $55 million.
