Golden Globe Award-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis, a true Hollywood icon, will be visiting Australia this October to promote the upcoming release of Halloween, a Trancas International Films, Blumhouse Productions and Miramax film.
The actress will be walking the Black Carpet at the Australian Premiere of Halloween, an event that takes place on Tuesday 23 October 2018 in Sydney.
Curtis will be reprising her role as Laurie Strode, a character which put the actress on the road to stardom in the 1970s, starting her acting career in films such as Trading Places (1983), Perfect (1985), A Fish Called Wanda (1988), as well as starring in one of the biggest action films to hit screens,True Lies (1994), for which she won a Golden Globe Award for her stellar performance as Helen Tasker.
Halloween will be a final confrontation between Curtis’ character Laurie Strode and Michael Myers (Nick Castle), the masked figure haunting her since her escape from his killing spree four decades ago in the original film.
Halloween is inspired by Carpenter’s classic, filmmakers David Gordon Green and Danny McBride crafting a story that carves a new path from the events in the revolutionary 1978 film, Green also directing.
