The Last Showgirl will center on a seasoned showgirl in her fifties, who’s struggling to figure out what to do next when her show abruptly closes after three decades. While her career falls apart, she also must figure out how to repair a strained relationship with her daughter.

In a statement announcing this film, Coppola said she always wanted to make a movie in Vegas, adding she’s proud of its cast and crew. She praised Anderson’s daring and heartfelt performance in The Last Showgirl and said she can’t wait for the world to see it.

Kate Gersten wrote the script for this project, with Natalie Farrey and Robert Schwartzman coming on board as producers. He described The Last Showgirl as a dream project with a dream cast, that will give them a chance to “tell an authentic Las Vegas story that pays homage to the iconic Showgirl, told through Gia’s unique sense of style and visual storytelling.”

In addition to Anderson, this project will also star the Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All At Once), Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), Brenda Song (Dollface), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and Billie Lourd (Scream Queens).

The reboot of the horror franchise earned $77.5 million after opening in almost 4,000 locations in North America. This means that the film has earned the impressive second-best start for an R-rated horror film being It’s. The sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 classic has also scored the second-highest October opening ever, behind Venom’s $80.3 million earlier this month.

Overseas, Halloween generated $14.3 million this weekend.

The film helmed by Jason Blum and Blumhouse Productions ignores the nine other remakes and picks up 40 years later, with Jamie Lee Curtis’s Laurie Strode preparing for her inevitable rematch with masked killer Michael Myers, played by James Jude Courtney.

“I am enormously proud of this film,” Blum said in a statement. “Halloween brings the franchise back to life in a fresh, relevant and fun way that is winning over fans and critics alike.”

“There had been quite some time between the original film,” Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution said. “You combine that with the return of a tremendous star in Jamie Lee Curtis, great writing, great filmmaking. All of that comes together as a perfect storm.”

Rounding out the top five this weekend are A Star Is Born, with about $19.3 million; Venom, with about $18.1 million; Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, with about $9.7 million; and First Man, with about $8.6 million.

The original 1994 action-thriller filmed starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. Currently, Fox has given a put-pilot commitment to an hour-long dramatic adaptation of the film.

The 1994 True Lies centered on the life of U.S. government Harry Tasker, a spy, balancing home life and work. However, this becomes increasingly complicated as wife Helen discovers what her husband really does for a living and is eager to join the adventure. The film was the third highest-grossing movie of 1994 — banking $378.9 million worldwide — behind The Lion King and Forrest Gump, and Curtis won the Golden Globe for Best Actress (Musical or Comedy).

Marc Guggenheim will be writing the script for the pilot, as Cameron is signed on as executive producer. The pilot is being produced by Wonderland and Lightstorm in association with 20th Century Fox TV.

The original Halloween movie, which premiered in 1978 was Curtis’ film debut. Since then, she returned to the franchise four times for sequels. Now, 40 years later, Curtis will be starring in the next film of the horror franchise.

Curtis took to social media and announced her return on Twitter, posting a photo of her on set next to a jack-o-lantern with a masked Michael Myers standing behind her in the doorway. She added the caption: “Same porch. Same clothes. Same issues. 40 years later. Headed back to Haddonfield one last time for Halloween.”

The new Halloween is co-written by comedian Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down) and filmmaker David Gordon Green, who will also direct the film. Director of the 1978 original horror film John Carpenter wrote on Facebook earlier this year that the duo’s vision for the new movie is simply “WOW.”

Curtis’ casting comes with little surprise as McBride is a fan of the original. He told EW that he just loves the original, adding that “there’s something so scary about how simple it was.” He also revealed that their ambition for the new installment is “to strip it down and get it back to [being] grounded in reality, which I think makes it scarier.”

The new Halloween will hit theaters on October 19, 2018.
