How Jamie Lee Curtis Feels About The Good Halloween Reviews

In just a week, Michael Myers will once again unleash his terror on an unassuming neighborhood brimming with trick-or-treaters in the new Halloween. Since the film screened at the Toronto Film Festival last month, for the most part critics have been raving about the nostalgic redemption story for Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode. When Curtis paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, the original scream queen gave her reaction on the high praise of the film. Here's what she said:

No, and only because I did appear on your show, I'm not a big review reader, although people have been calling me like 'whoa.' But then they sent me one that I did see and it's six words, 'You will freak the fuck out.' It was from David Fear at Rolling Stone. I actually wrote the marketing team on Halloween and I said, 'You know what guys? I think we're done.' Because that's as good as you're gonna get.

During her interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the actress went as far to recommend the kind words for the horror sequel be added to billboards and other marketing for the film as the tagline. Jamie Lee Curtis made a pretty good case for the line in the Rolling Stone review to entice moviegoers to go see the film. Fans of the horror genre are always looking for chills on screen, but "freaking the fuck out" is next level! Curtis compared the rave review to another famous line from the iconic sci-fi horror film, Alien, referencing the line:

That's as good for me as, 'In space, no one can hear you scream.'

The original Halloween and Alien were released just one year apart and have each reached similar cult-like statuses since. Both have a female protagonist at its center, so comparisons certainly aren't too out of reach. This Halloween sequel has an exciting distinctiveness surrounding it, even if it's the 10th sequel for the horror property. This is much to do with Jamie Lee Curtis' return along with how her character Laurie Strode is being handled this time around. Picking up 40 years after the first left off, Laurie is struggling with PTSD from her first run in with Michael Myers and is completely armed and ready for his return to her neighborhood.

Although original director, John Carpenter isn't particularly fan of sequels for his films, he had a hand in this one, composing a new score for it and giving the new filmmakers some notes early on to make it relentless. Halloween is projected to have a strong opening with projections between $50-$85 million in its first weekend, but with strong reviews such as what Jamie Lee Curtis referenced, who knows how many will be enticed to turn up for the vicious sequel when it comes to theaters on October 19.





In her piece for The Los Angeles Times, Kimber Myers is much more forgiving of the change-up, and, like many other reviews, makes the direct comparison between Happy Death Day 2U and Back To The Future (a reference that the film itself makes). She doesn't believe that the new film is as good as the first, but still could appreciate it

The Nun Ending: How The Film Connects To The Conjuring Universe

The Nun Ending: How The Film Connects To The Conjuring Universe

SPOILER WARNING: The following feature contains massive spoilers for The Nun. If you have not yet seen the film, and don't wish to know details about the way the movie ends, you may want to click away to another one of our wonderful articles.The Conjuring Universe is rapidly expanding. The franchise didn't really start off with hugely ambitious plans, but ever since The Conjuring made over $300 million worldwide the aspirations have grown more epic. Not only did the first movie spawn a sequel that out-grossed its predecessor, but Annabelle has proven to be a massively successful spin-off series, two movies together making over $560 million globally. Now we have the latest entry in the form of director Corin Hardy's The Nun, and it ultimately proves to be a crucial piece in the growing continuity.

Specifically, it's the end of The Nun that ties it directly into the rest of the happenings in the Conjuring Universe, and it's those sequences in particular that we're here to dissect. What happens at the end? What does it mean? What do the filmmakers have to say about it? You'll find the answers to all those questions and more in this feature, so read on!

What Happens At The End Of The FilmAfter discovering the truth about Sister Victoria's suicide -- that she was actually sacrificing herself to avoid possession instead of just killing herself -- Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga), Father Burke (Demian Bichir) and Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet) formulate a plan to defeat The Nun a.k.a. Valak. They believe that if they can seal the broken rift from which the demon escaped it will be banished from our realm, and they acquire the tools that will help them complete their mission: the key to the catacombs, and an artifact that contains a vial of Jesus Christ's blood.

Of course, fighting a demon is no easy business -- and recognizing that the trio is stronger together Valak successfully manages to separate them. The group is attacked by all matters of unholy things Irene is temporarily possessed, though she is freed when Frenchie uses some of Christ's blood (an act that gets him knocked out for a good spell). Burke is once again haunted by images of the young boy who died during an exorcism, forcing him to separate from Irene, and Irene is thrown into the rift room, which is quickly filling with water.

Irene sees the artifact floating close to her, though it appears that it is broken. Valak attacks again, trying to drown her. At first it looks like the demon has succeeded, holding Irene's limp body, but the young nun then spits Christ's blood in its face, revealing that she had held it in her mouth. Valak disintegrates, and the portal closes, but Irene appears lifeless. Frenchie, now awake, rushes over to her, and performs CPR, successfully waking her up. Burke finds them, and Frenchie tells them his real name: Maurice Theriault. As they start to leave they affirm that the monastery is once again a holy place, but it's revealed that this is really nothing more than sentiment. Rather than being banished, Valak has managed to successfully possess Frenchie, as evidenced by a scar on his neck that looks like an inverted cross.

Fast-forwarding to 20 years later, Carolyn Perron (Lili Taylor) sits in an auditorium watching a presentation by Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) -- a clip from the first Conjuring. In the slideshow, the couple discusses a particularly disturbing exorcism that they were a part of, one that involved a French-Canadian farmer... named Maurice Theriault.

This may seem like a simple dovetail that links The Nun to The Conjuring, but those intimately familiar with the Conjuring Universe should know that the connection to previous titles goes much deeper than that. And if you're not entirely sure how it all works, we recommend clicking to the next page.

Who Was Frenchie?Though introduced after both Father Burke and Sister Irene, Frenchie is one of the key protagonists in The Nun, right up until he becomes possessed by the antagonist. It's good that he had his chance to be the hero, though, because while we don't really get to see any of the negative effects of his particular demonic condition in the main narrative, he definitely doesn't have a bright future. That's obviously kind of sad, but what's significant is that he winds up having a major impact on the lives of Ed and Lorraine Warren.

In The Conjuring, Ed describes the life of Maurice "Frenchie" Theriault (who was actually a real person at the center of a known possession story). It's said he had nothing more than a third grade education, but spoke perfect Latin when the Warrens met him, sometimes backwards, and as a child had been molested and tortured by his father. During his exorcism he bled from the eyes, and an inverted cross appeared on his side, which is all pretty horrific, but most importantly he "showed" Lorraine something that shook her to her core, taking what Ed describes as "a real big piece" of her.

Exactly what Maurice psychically projected was a mystery that remained unanswered by the end of The Conjuring, but it then become a vital part of The Conjuring 2. Not only was the sequel the first time that audiences were specifically introduced to Valak, who was ultimately revealed to be the big bad of the movie, but we even got to see what it was that so horrified the clairvoyant paranormal investigator: the death of her husband, impaled on a lightning-struck tree after falling out of a window. It's thankfully a fate that the Warrens narrowly avoid, but it still must be recognized that Maurice "Frenchie" Theriault left one hell of an impression -- an impression that we got an origin story for in the form of The Nun.

Interestingly, it's the second time we've seen this kind of ending from The Conjuring Universe, as Annabelle: Creation -- a prequel to its predecessor -- also made some finishing maneuvers that led to a perfect match-up. It seems to be a cool, clever direction for the franchise to take as it continues to expand and produce more spin-offs, and it's a conclusion strategy that I had the chance to talk about with The Nun screenwriter Gary Dauberman, producer Peter Safran, and director Corin Hardy...

How The Dovetail Came TogetherThe Nun is a film that came together very quickly, as it only officially put together its filmmaking team in February 2017, and had them going into production three months later. That's not a lot of time for big franchise discussions to be had, but according to Gary Dauberman, Peter Safran, and Corin Hardy, the dovetail was part of the equation from the very beginning.

Dauberman has some good experience in the Conjuring Universe, having written both Annabelle and Annabelle: Creation before The Nun, and during a recent interview he explained how the Frenchie narrative became a part of the new movie -- noting special enthusiasm from The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 director James Wan. Said the screenwriter,

That was something very early on that was planned. That was also something James felt very strongly about, that I feel very strongly about, you know? How do we tie this into... The Nun was introduced in The Conjuring 2, the Valak of it all has been sort of this foreboding presence in all the movies, whether we knew it or not. That was something we had to sort of strategize, how to fit that in in sort of an elegant way.

Looking at things from the big picture perspective, that "elegant way" was particularly important for Peter Safran, who has produced all of The Conjuring Universe films to date, and has been a key figure in overseeing the larger continuity. Fans certainly recognize that The Nun is a spin-off series featuring the main villain from The Conjuring 2, but making narrative maneuvers like those that unfold at the end of the movie drives home the continuity and serves as important connective tissue (a la Nick Fury showing up at the end of Iron Man). Safran explained it as such:

We do like to feel that it's a cohesive universe, and we feel like these movies do organically fit together. And it's something that we don't try to jerry-rig it, you know. They all make sense. So when we started talking about what the movie The Nun would be, and we said it would be that origin story of Valak, the demon, we always wanted to make sure that it was connected to the Conjuring Universe, not simply by the fact that the character appeared in Conjuring 2, but that there really was a tangible string that exists for it. And one of the stories that we always loved is the Maurice story, the Maurice Theriault story.

Continuing, Peter Safran noted that not only is the inclusion of Frenchie in The Nun helpful in terms of firming up continuity, but it's also just fun and rewarding for fans. Those who have been especially enjoying The Conjuring Universe movies to this point will all get a nice extra little jolt and chance to smirk thanks to the end of the film, all kicking off with the character revealing his real name:

We felt like that one really organically fit into this movie. We just thought it was a great, truthfully, just a really fun nugget for people, that you watch the whole movie looking at Frenchy and then he tells you his name is Maurice - and some of people will put it all together back from the first Conjuring that this was the character that we were talking about way back then.

Of course, this is also one of the great and unique facets of cinematic universe franchises. Creating these kinds of bridges between projects isn't something that's on the table for straight series, and it's something that demands being taken advantage of. The folks behind The Conjuring Universe seem to clearly understand this, and as a result have given us, along with Annabelle: Creation, two great dovetail finishes.

As for Corin Hardy, he also noted that working Maurice Theriault into The Nun was always a part of the project's development - including the subterfuge to hide his true identity with his nickname. Adding to that, though, he also expressed how happy he was to show a happier time in Maurice's life than what was shown in The Conjuring -- showcasing that he was more than just a simple agrarian with a troubled childhood. Said the director,

It was always part of the plan that you introduce this character who says, 'My friends call me Frenchie,' and you know him as Frenchie. He does introduce [himself] as Maurice Theriault, and if you're paying attention Patrick Wilson's character in The Conjuring introduces Maurice Theroux as a French farmer - French-Canadian. And we cover all of that. It's there if you're really paying attention you'll see French-Canadian farmer called Maurice Theriault. But then you're like, 'Well how did he get...' It's nice, this idea, that he's been working over there for the people, he's a good man.

Given the bow that's tied at the end of The Nun, its potential as its own spin-off series is unclear at this stage -- but what's definitely not done is the Conjuring Universe. Not only is there a Conjuring 3 and an Annabelle 3 in the works, but there is also another planned spin-off being planned for one of The Conjuring 2's other terrifying visages: The Crooked Man. You'll be able to find updates on all of those projects and more in the coming weeks, months, and years, so be sure to be on the lookout for all those details here on CinemaBlend.

Regular Movie Rules No Longer Apply To The Fast & Furious Franchise

Regular Movie Rules No Longer Apply To The Fast & Furious Franchise

Similar to the Mission: Impossible franchise, the Fast and the Furious franchise has been able to endure for nearly two decades now, and unlike most franchises, the entries have arguably gotten better. There are so far eight films in the main series, with two more on the way. But before that, fans are being treated to the first Fast and the Furious spinoff, the appropriately named Hobbs and Shaw, which sees Dwayne Johnson and Jason Stathams respective characters reuniting for another round of beating up bad guys. It looks just like the kind of action-packed buddy comedy youd want from these two, but more importantly, Hobbs and Shaw reaffirms, if not permanently settles the issue, that the Fast and the Furious universe is no longer operating in any semblance of reality. Were knee deep in fantastical territory with the potential to go even further.

While the Fast and the Furious movies, like every other action-themed franchise, have been set in a heightened reality, the franchise started off relatively tame compared to the most recent entries. Dominic Toretto, Brian OConnor and the other starring characters used their street racing skills for fun and to pull off heists, all while preaching the importance of family on the side. Cars were the focus and the adventures were exciting, but not terribly exaggerated.

But then a shift started to occur. For me, the biggest tell that the Fast and the Furious franchise was morphing into a more straightforward action franchise, albeit still revolving around cars, was in Fast Five when Dom and his team dragged a bank vault through downtown Rio de Janeiro. By Fast & Furious 6, the protagonists were working together to stop a deadly device from being sold to the highest bidder, and in Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious, they essentially saved the world, all while driving their badass vehicles; sometimes not even on the ground!

These racers are now basically superheroes, but without the fancy costumes or special abilities. Well, except super strength and endurance. After all, Dominic Toretto was able to life a car all by himself in Furious 7, and in The Fate of the Furious, Luke Hobbs curled a concrete bench, easily shrugged off rubber bullets and pushed a torpedo as it slid across ice. This dude might as well just call himself Black Adam.

Which brings us to Hobbs and Shaw, where the eponymous characters will face off against Idris Elbas Brixton, a terrorist mastermind. Wed known for a while that Elba would be playing the spinoffs main antagonist, but the first trailer revealed that hes been genetically and cybernetically enhanced to be bulletproof and superhuman. Other Fast and the Furious villains have used special technology, but not to enhance their own bodies. Even if you ignore my comment about Dominic and Lukes physical feats, the franchise is seemingly using Brixton to say, Hey, superpowers are officially on the table!

I dont doubt that there are folks out there who wish that the Fast and the Furious franchise had stuck to its street racing roots, but the fact of the matter is that Universal pivoting to a more conventional action approach has paid off. Both Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious have grossed over $1 billion worldwide, and the later entries have been met with more positive critical reception than its predecessors. Hobbs and Shaw is building on what the main movies have become and turned the craziness up a notch or two, which also includes driving underneath a semi-truck, knocking over cars with an armored flatbed and jumping out of a window to take down some goons running down the side of a building with cables. Whew, Im winded just thinking about all that.

Even if you prefer the racing aspect of the Fast and the Furious franchise, theres no denying that these movies tossing out the conventional rules that opens the door to more possibilities. If Universal had kept these movies strictly about racing and heists, the film series either would have ended a while back or the current entries probably wouldnt be as well received. This way, even though these adventures are no longer rooted in any kind of realism, these stakes have been raised so that theres no shortage of challenges the protagonists deal with or weird experiences they could go through.

If Brixton has been enhanced to be more powerful than a regular human being, why couldnt the same happen to to one of our heroes? Weve seen certain kinds of computer software put the world at risk in the most recent Fast and the Furious movies, so why not throw AI or even robots into the mix? I would say the skys the limit, but since its been repeatedly suggested that the Mission: Impossible series should head to space, why couldnt the Fast and the Furious series do the same?

Right now, there are only two main Fast and the Furious movies left to be released, but thanks to Hobbs and Shaw and the confirmed female-fronted spinoff, this could morph the franchise into a cinematic universe, thus allowing this world to continue after Fast & Furious 10 drops. Moviegoers overall are clearly accepting of this new direction the franchise has taken, and Hobbs and Shaw will be a good testing ground for the action can be successfully taken to an even more absurd level. Judging by how many times the first trailer has been viewed online, people are intrigued by what director and action movie veteran David Leitch is delivering.

I wont go so far as to say that the Fast and the Furious movies should become as outlandish as the MCU, DCEU or Monster-Verse, but this franchise has a good thing going for it right now by tossing out the heightened realism rulebook. If Universal plays its cards right and keeps trying new ways to up the ante action-wise, perhaps the Fast and the Furious lore could live on for another decade, if not longer.

Hobbs and Shaw races into theaters on August 2, so stay tuned to CinemaBlend for continuing coverage on that project and other updates concerning the entire Fast and the Furious franchise.
