It was announced in February this year that a new Halloween film was in production, and that the film would not be a part of the Rob Zombie reboot series.
After comments made by the studio that Jamie Lee Curtis would be featured in the new film, Curtis herself tweeted an amazing photograph of herself with series antagonist Michael Myers, along with the caption 'SHE'S BACK! See you guys October 19th, 2018.'
Despite having died at the hands of her killer brother Michael in Halloween: Resurrection the statement of 'she's back' does seem to confirm that Curtis will indeed be reprising the role of Laurie Strode, rather than playing a new character.
Entertainment Weekly have reported that Battlestar Galactica actress, Katee Sackhoff, has been cast as a villain for the upcoming fourth season of The Flash.
It has been reported that Sackhoff will be playing the villain Blacksmith, and that she will be appearing in at least one episode. The episode is titled 'Girls Night Out', and will act as a small crossover with Arrow, featuring Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak.
Blacksmith, real name Amunet Black, first appeared in Flash: Iron Heights by Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver in 2001.
Her character ran an underground black market called 'The Network' in Central City for supervillains to buy and sell illegal items. Eventually she mutates her body to be able to fuse organic and inorganic matter, allowing her to merge flesh and metal and shape it to her will.
Blacksmith has connections to multiple members of the rogues gallery in the comics, including the Trickster, Mirror Master, Weather Wizard, and even Zoom. Whether she will have similar connections in the CW show is yet to be revealed.

Fox News' morning show Fox and Friends aired a segment on the morning of Tuesday 15th August regarding the criticism that Donald Trump has received for his response to the violence and murder that took place in Charlottesville over the weekend.
Star Parker, President of the Centre for Urban Renewal and Education, appeared as a guest during this segment, where she compared white-nationalists and the Confederate flag to the LGBT+ community and the rainbow Pride flag.
'What's really interesting with an incredible irony here is that the same people who are demanding that the Confederate flag comes down are the same people that are insisting that the rainbow flag goes up.' She said during the interview.
'These two flags represent the exact same thing, that certain groups are not welcome here.'
Whilst she does seem to be acknowledging that the Confederate flag is a symbol of racism, a symbol that makes members of the African American community feel unwelcome and unsafe, the rainbow flag has never been used in the same context. The rainbow flag is not used to tell straight people that they are not welcome, nor does it represent the oppression of straight people.
Parker went on to complain about the criticism that Donald Trump has faced from the left, particularly from Democratic leader Nanci Pelosi.
'If Pelosi wants to say that we're going to start shutting down First Amendment rights of a certain group of people, then what happens the next time that the homosexuals want to walk through an American city and protest, counter-protesters come out?'
She also went on to say, 'e pluribus unum, many become one, not the multiculturalism and diversity that they keep promoting. There is a cultural war, and it is escalating.'
Parker also congratulated Trump on his comments following the events at Charlottesville, claiming that there was nothing wrong with his statements.
The trailer for the first Toho animated Godzilla film, Godzilla: Monster Planet, has been released online ahead of its November release.
Despite the trailer lacking English subtitles the film still looks incredibly impressive.
The official synopsis for the film reads as following;
'The last summer of the 20th Century. That day, the human beings learn that they are not the only rulers of the planet Earth. The appearance of the giant living creatures 'Kaiju's' and the ultimate existence that destroys all monsters: Godzilla. Through the battle against kaiju's that lasted for half a century, human beings had experienced continuous defeat, and finally plans to escape from Earth.
'In 2048, only those who were selected by the A.I. managed under the central government boarded the international emigrant spaceship 'Aratrum' to head for 'Tau Cetuse', a planet beyond the distance of 11.9 light-years away. However, the environmental condition differences between that of Earth and Tau, which they finally arrived at after 20 years, were far beyond the predicted numbers, and was not an environment considered to be habitable by human beings.
'A young man on the emigrant ship, Haruo, who saw his parents killed by Godzilla in front of his eyes when he was 4 years old, has had only one thing on his mind for 20 years: to return to Earth and defeat Godzilla.
'Shut out from the possibility of emigration, as the living environment on the ship deteriorates, the group of 'Earth Returnists' led by Haruo become the majority, and determine to head back to Earth through a dangerous long-distance hyperspace navigation. However, the Earth that they have returned to has already passed 20,000 years, and has become an unknown world with the ecosystem reigned by Godzilla.
'At the end, will human beings win back the Earth? And what will Haruo see beyond his fate?'
