Jamie Lee Curtis has played 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Halloween protagonist Laurie Strode for over 40 years, dating back to 1978's ꦆoriginal horror classic – bu🍃t the end could be in sight.

Halloween returned with a bang to light a fire under the franchise in 2018. Halloween Kills is due out later this year, while Halloween Ends will se🐻e out t🥀he new trilogy in 2022.

Speaking about Halloween Ends, Jamie Lee Curtis tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Total Film magazine for i𝓰ts new issue (out this Friday) "I would💎 say, given what I know about the next movie, I think it will be the last time that I will play her."

Curtis, though, sidesteps the obvious response from the franchise's legion of fans, "And I'm not saying something like, 'Oh, because I die!' It's nothing to do with that. I'm talking about emotionally what꧃ they have constructed. I think it will be a spectacular way to end this trilogy."

Producer Malek Akkad hints that "the last one is going t🥃o be way more contained", while director David Gordon Green suggests that Halloween Ends will be a departure from what came before.

"I get engaged by doing something different. If I was just going to be repetitive, I would hand the reins off to someone else. When you have that opportunity within an established🍬 franchise, it’s really fun to think about how you can show different tones and perspectives and evolve," Green said.
