Halloween Returns director and co-writer Marcus Dunstan is hoping Community's Gillian Jacobs will star in the horror film.

Gillian Jacobs in Community

Speaking with The Myers Fan (via Halloween Daily News ), Dunstan expressed his enthusiasm for Jacobs joining Halloween Returns. "I really like this actress Gillian Jacobs," he said. "She's known for all this comedy on Community, and yet I didn't know her from Community first, I knew her from a movie called Gardens of the Night, which is one of the most wrenching dramas, and she's excellent."I thought, 'I wonder if this great performer would do that again, would like to go there,' and I think so."Along with talking about Jacobs, Dunstan also chatted about how he wants to reinvigorate Halloween fans with the first reveal of Michael Myers mask, mentioning Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the process."Embracing social media, I think one of the first key images has got to be that carefully set-up Instagram photo of the mask in profile with that border-edge lighting, so you know right away what the intent is," said Dunstan. "If it looks anything at all disparaging to anybody, then we've failed. Our goal is really to have that Han-and-Chewie moment." Dimension Films officially announced Halloween Returns in June. The standalone film will reintroduce Myers, with new Illinois kids being terrorized by the masked murderer.
