    A Conversation with Jamie Lee Curtis and Jason Blum | Global Conference 2022

    Jamie Lee Curtis, Jason Blum, Kim Masters

    Jamie Lee Curtis and Jason Blum reimagined the *Halloween* franchise in 2018 by restoring continuity to John Carpenter's original 1978 film, a collaborative effort that yielded a trilogy grossing $386 million. Expanding their creative partnership, the duo is producing the Amazon series *The Sticky* and developing Patricia Cornwell's *Scarpetta* novels, while Curtis has transitioned into producing and directing with her new venture, Comet Pictures. This synergy blends Blumhouse's profit-sharing business model with Curtis's production ambitions, allowing them to prioritize high-caliber talent and secure theatrical distribution despite shifting streaming industry trends.
