Jamie Lee Curtis confirms she’ll return as Laurie Strode in new Halloween sequel

Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to classic horror franchise Halloween “one last time”.

The actress is set to reprise her role as Laurie Strode in a new instalment which will be released on October 19th 2018.

In February franchise creator John Carpenter confirmed that Pineapple Express director David Gordon Green and Danny McBride would co-write the movie.

Curtis confirmed her involvement on Friday evening when she tweeted a picture of her on set, alongside the message:

“Same porch. Same clothes. Same issues. 40 years later. Headed back to Haddonfield one last time for Halloween. Release date 10/19/18.”

The actress appeared in the original 1978 film and its sequel and returned as Laurie in 1998’s Halloween H20: 20 Years Later before apparently being killed off four years later in Halloween: Resurrection.
