Jamie Lee Curtis: ‘We can all be monsters’

The incomparable queen of screaming, the one and only Jamie Lee Curtis returns and does it with more strength than ever at the age of almost 64, revealing herself as determined, vengeful and combative in the film’s anticipated promotional round. It will close the saga that John Carpenter began in 1978 and played at the age of 20, thereby becoming one of horror cinema’s greatest muses.

Since that moment, halloween legend it has had many lives (more than ten), but since it took over David GordonGreen Four years ago, he was responsible for reinvigorating the figure of Curtis and the role of Laurie, giving it a new dimension, while modernizing the discourse of the films that make up this new trilogy, while relating it to the contemporary issues that bind them together. new times.

Now comes the final episode ‘Halloween: The End’Sets four years after the events of ‘Halloween Kills’, with a Laurie who wants to leave the past and the ghost of Michel Myers behind. However, he has one final confrontation left, which will apparently be his last. “Every time you say goodbye to something like this, you feel endless sadness, but it’s time to say goodbye. This new trilogy has given me the opportunity to do so many things and with the help of David Gordon Green, it has been a constant inspiration to do so because it’s the modernity of modernity. “He’s a director who has managed to keep his finger on his pulse, to combine themes. Things that are in the conversation in real time like mass violence, the toxic culture of social networks, or how we can all become monsters and how we act with victims, which is absolutely obscene.”

The actress is in a particularly sweet moment, and she doesn’t hide it, so she can talk nonchalantly about issues that concern her, like her fear of fascism or the hate messages she receives for her daughter being transgender. “It wasn’t like that before, I wouldn’t have said things so clearly, but now I feel safe and proud. Today I have my own voice, my own body and mind to express my point of view. It took me a while to find it and work on it but I finally got it”.

Perhaps for this reason, he will embark on a new adventure behind the camera this time, which will be his directorial debut. It will be called ‘Mother Nature’ and is being developed with Blumhouse, who is also the executive producer of ‘Halloween: The End’ by Jason Blum. “It’s been an idea that’s been on my mind since I was a teenager, and David Gordon Green encouraged me to write it, helping me regain the confidence I hadn’t had in a long time.”

When you think of the lead girl ‘halloween night’ Think: “Was that me? I hear my voice, I see myself, and I feel a tremendous strangeness, as if it were not with me.” Jamie Lee Curtis describes herself as a 64-year-old woman who looks 64 as she should be. “Jamie isn’t wearing makeup, she’s wearing Birkenstocks and black pants. I no longer think of putting myself in this or that place so that the light will attract me more, I don’t want to look younger either, I’m the age I am and that’s it.”.

What is the secret of this epic being passed down from generation to generation and being a part of the collective memory? “Of course it has a lot to do with the Myers mask, having a mask of Captain Kirk from ‘Star Trek’ painted white was a great discovery. That mask symbolizes the essence of evil. And the secret of the original movie was that everything was so simple: a typical American town, Halloween and a virgin girl. And he is a masked man. The simpler the idea, the better it works.”
