'Halloween' reboot will bring fear factor back: Danny McBride

"Alien: Covenant" star Danny McBride said his version of Michael Myers in the new "Halloween" film will be faithful to John Carpenter's original idea for the cinematic serial killer.

McBride, 40, is co-writing the fresh slasher movie with David Gordon, who were both recruited by Blumhouse, reported Contactmusic.

"We're just trying to play with that. Make him real. Not make him real by giving him some crazy backstory either. Just getting back to the basics. Even the moment that they made Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Michael Myers siblings - it also makes it not quite as scary," McBride said.

"So all that kind of stuff to us ... those are the things that took an amazing idea and took it somewhere it wasn't quite as effective."
