TIFF NABS HALLOWEEN SEQUEL
A much-anticipated Halloween reboot and Michael Moore’s new documentary on U.S. President Donald Trump have been added to this year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
Halloween, the sequel to the original 1978 slasher film starring Jamie Lee Curtis, is in the lineup for the festival’s genre-filled Midnight Madness program.
The reboot picks up 40 years after the events of the John Carpenter classic and ignores the events of the other sequels.
Meanwhile, Moore’s Fahrenheit 11/9 will also make its world premiere at the festival to open the documentary program.
A total of 27 feature-length titles were announced for the docs section and 10 for Midnight Madness. Midnight Madness will also have the world premiere of Shane Black’s sequel, The Predator.
The film festival runs Sept. 6 to 16.
