Face Your Fate

 40 years after Michael Myers's debut, Halloween returns to the big screen. Directed and written by David Gordon Green (Stronger) with Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down) and Jeff Fradley (Vice Principals) as co-writers. Jamie Lee Curtis (Freaky Friday) returns as Laurie Strode, who "comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago". Greenlit quickly after the successful It reboot, will it be a 'Happy Halloween' for Blumhouse?

"Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Now, facing pressure from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what's right". Can The Hate U Give reignite the YA genre?

All Roads Lead Here.

"Seven strangers, each with a secret to bury, meet at Lake Tahoe's El Royale, a rundown hotel with a dark past. Over the course of one fateful night, everyone will have a last shot at redemption - before everything goes to hell". Bad Times at the El Royale is Drew Goddard's passion project and reward for the tremendous success of The Martian; were Fox right to grant Goddard so much creative freedom?
