Jamie Lee Curtis chats with USA TODAY's Brian Truitt about 'Halloween Ends' and her run as 'final girl' Laurie Strode.
Friday) lets Curtis dig into different sides of Laurie – not just as a romantic interest but also a protective parent, goofball grandma and champion of misfits bullied by marching band kids.Laurie is even writing a book about her life story, which includes Michael’s murderous intentions first in 1978 and then 40 years later in the fictional Illinois town of Haddonfield.
As “Ends” begins, Curtis’ horror icon is in a relatively peaceful place when she meets Corey and sees a fellow pariah. Corey was traumatized by a violent incident three years prior that left one boy dead and him an outcast, while Laurie was once hailed as a heroine but is now blamed by Haddonfield residents for Michael’s bloody reappearance.
He calls the new film a “really bittersweet chapter” that says goodbye but also is “putting to bed something that's been a legacy of hers and an opportunity of mine.”Concluding her “Halloween” story is “really weird” and “definitely emotional and heart-pounding,” Curtis says.
