[PREVIOUS] Hall H is about to get a lot scarier this year. Deadline reports that Blumhouse/Universal is bringing two of their upcoming films, Halloween and Glass to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con this year.
io9 had previously reported that Halloween, the eleventh installment in the franchise, would be heading to Comic-Con this year. There’s no word yet on which cast members will be in attendance, but the film stars Jamie Lee Curtis (reprising her role as Laurie Strode from the original 1978 film), Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, and others. It’s also got some Comic-Con friendly people behind the scenes as well, as the script was co-written by David Gordon Green (who also directed) and Danny McBride.
And then there’s Glass, the sequel to director M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable (and also the sequel to Split). Deadline reports that attendees won’t be treated to a screening the way they were for Shyamalan’s The Visit, but we’ll be getting a Hall H panel. Again, no word yet on cast in attendance, but the film stars Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy, Sarah Paulson, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Spencer Treat Clark. The film will follow Unbreakable‘s David Dunn, a security guard, as he tracks down Split‘s Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man with multiple personalities.
It’s unclear if the panel would be branded under Universal or Blumhouse, but we’ll know soon enough.
