Though she won her Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once, the Jamie Lee Curtis renaissance undoubtedly started with 2018's excellent Halloween legacy sequel, directed by David Gordon Green. That project eventually turned into a trilogy, but Curtis has revealed that had she known the full scope of Green's plans, she wouldn't have said yes in the first place.
Speaking on a SXSW panel (h/t Variety), Curtis didn't mince her words when discussing the reason why a trilogy of Halloween films for Blumhouse didn't appeal at the time. "If they had come to me and said it's going to be a trilogy, I don't think I would have said yes," Curtis revealed. "Jason Blum is notoriously cheap. How do you make low-budget movies? You don't pay people. That's the model."
