With his new movie Ouija: Origin of Evil set to arrive in theaters later this month, I had the pleasure of hopping on the phone with Blumhouse Founder/CEO Jason Blum earlier this afternoon -- and after a long discussion about the Ouija sequel, I asked him about one of his studio's most high-profile upcoming projects. I asked about the development of Halloween and its relationship to the larger franchise continuity -- but the executive/producer explained that the project isn't at a point in the process yet where those decisions have actually been made. Said Blum,

We haven't landed on an approach. We haven't landed on a filmmaker, and we haven't landed on an approach. We thought we had a filmmaker and an approach, and we don't. We're talking to a handful of people about it -- all of them have different ideas. I don't believe in coming up with an idea and telling a filmmaker what to do. So we have three to five different people we're talking with, and all of them have a different idea about what it should be. And we haven't landed on a group, and as a result we haven't landed on an idea.
