I actually think this is a good idea.

For one thing, Carpenter's original vision for the Halloween franchise was to be a completely original Halloween-based movie every couple years (hence Halloween 3: Season of the Witch), however, people wanted Myers so bad he became the star of the series.

The Halloween series already got a reboot, of sorts, with H20. That installment ignored 4-6 and acted as a direct sequel to Halloween 2. You can see how well that worked out, with H20 and Resurrected being the worst films in the whole franchise.

Carpenter's original vision for the franchise wasn't a never-ending slasher sequel-fest. It was to be a new, clever "anthology" series of movies.

A reimagining of Michael Myers is certainly more interesting than Halloween 9, where Michael fights another gangsta rapper.

I'll be looking forward to this one.
