Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, the creative team behind The Collector films and the screenwriters of several installments in the Saw franchise, have been tapped to script the latest installment in the rebooted Halloween series.

Malek Akkad is on board to produce with Matt Stein. Akkad is the son of original franchise executive producer Moustapha Akkad.

Screenwriting duo Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier were attached to pen the script to a third installment in the rebooted franchise at one point but it has long since been announced that they have moved on. This will be the first new installment in the series since Rob Zombie ‘s Halloween II. There has been no word yet on exactly who will be at the helm on this latest incarnation.

As for what we can actually call this latest installment, sources have told THR that it is not a remake, not a reboot, and not a reimagining. Once source told the outlet that it is a recalibration. It’s still somewhat unclear at this point if this will be directly following the storyline established in the Rob Zombie films. From the sound of it, this will be unrelated but we should know more in the coming days. We will keep you apprised as we learn more about the project.
