At the beginning of 2020, so way back that I had forgotten this even occurred, it was introduced that Blumhouse Productions and govt producer Alan Donnes have been teaming up for a reboot of The Factor. Since Blumhouse has been working with John Carpenter on their trilogy of Halloween sequels, you’d assume that they might wish to hold him within the loop on their model of The Factor as effectively, since Carpenter’s 1982 model of the idea is taken into account by many to be among the best horror motion pictures ever made. And whereas Carpenter says no one tells him something, he has additionally confirmed to ComicBook.com that he is aware of extra about this undertaking than he’s allowed to say.
After they requested Carpenter about Blumhouse’s The Factor reboot earlier this yr, he mentioned:
There are updates that I’m not allowed to talk of. We’ll see, we will see. By no means say by no means within the film enterprise, by no means say by no means.”
And once they had the prospect to talk with him once more not too long ago, Carpenter mentioned:
What the hell do I do know? That’s the theme of my profession. Write [this] down… John Carpenter: ‘What the hell do I do know?’ Nobody tells me something.”
When requested if he had any concepts for a way a brand new Factor film might be dealt with, this was the response:
I’m not gonna let you know that. That might be one thing I might work out and do and then you definately would uncover it within the movie show.”
1951’s The Factor From One other World (watch it HERE), Carpenter’s 1982 movie (watch it HERE), and the 2011 “premake” additionally referred to as The Factor (watch that one HERE) have been impressed by a 1938 novella referred to as Who Goes There?, written by John W. Campbell Jr. For many years, nobody knew that Who Goes There? was an abridged model of the story Campbell had initially written. Campbell’s full story was not too long ago revealed beneath the title Frozen Hell (you possibly can choose up a duplicate at THIS LINK), and it has been mentioned that Blumhouse’s The Factor reboot will have in mind
extra chapters of John Campbell’s groundbreaking novel, Frozen Hell, that had been misplaced for many years. Now, for the primary time ever, Campbell’s full imaginative and prescient can be realized on the massive display. The brand new movie will embrace the easiest of RKO’s The Factor From One other World, John Carpenter’s traditional The Factor and each books, Frozen Hell and Who Goes There?“
