At a New York Comic Con panel, Jamie Lee Curtis got emotional while discussing her iconic character Laurie Strode
, which closed with an “opera style” death of Laurie’s daughter, Karen . Her granddaughter, Allyson , is now writing a memoir, and Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since his last rampage. That’s not going to last long, of course. However, Curtis said that Laurie is quite different because she’s finally gotten the help she needs.
“She’s gotten grief therapy, so she’s not able to heal fully, but she’s able to live alongside her grief now. It doesn’t consume her, so maybe for a second, you get this idea that she’s going to be okay,” Curtis said. Crucially, the actor revealed that in, the other Haddonfield residents have now turned on Laurie, an innocent victim brutalized by Michael for decades now. “The film shows what pervasive violence does to people.
Writer Kevin Williamson came up with the loophole that Laurie kills an innocent person instead of Michael, but she doesn’t know that, so in her head , the story is complete. Curtis was cool with it, but on the condition that Laurie dies in the next film because she’d be too guilty. Curtis also said she’d need to be paid a “shit ton of money” for it. This explains her brief cameo intrilogy is ending the iconic franchise all over again. Let’s see how long it lasts this time.
