"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.
