.

EXCLUSIVE: Two time Golden Globe winning actress and filmmaker Jamie Lee Curtis and her Comet Pictures label have signed a three-year, first look deal with Blumhouse in both the film and TV arena, Deadline has learned.

Already, Comet and Blumhouse have a feature horror project underway, Mother Nature, which is centered around climate change. Curtis is directing and she is co-writing with Comet Pictures Head of Film and TV Development, Russell Goldman, who was recently named to the post.

“I’m 61 and my motto now is: ‘If not now, when, if not me, who?’ I’m excited to have a creative home to explore my own ideas and others. Jason and his team have made me feel welcome. Comet is ready to bring these stories to screen life,” Jamie Lee Curtis tells Deadline in a statement.

“Jamie is a force of nature and was a real partner on Halloween. So it’s both an honor and incredibly apt that she’s making her first feature film as a director with Mother Nature,” says Jason Blum, Blumhouse CEO and Founder. Source

A bit odd considering she's always sad that she hates horror films.

yep, the HALLOWEEN reboots and now this. I've always liked Jamie Lee but she's somewhat hypocritical.. $$$ talks I guess.

I don't think it's hypocritical or a matter of money. She doesn't object to horror films for moral reasons, she just said interviews that she doesn't enjoy being scared, which is the case for many people. A directors fee for a low budget horror film isn't bigger than what an actor like her can demand but this gives her an opportunity to shift into directing I suppose. I just question whether someone who doesn't like or watch horror films, can make a good horror film.

It doesn't exactly sound like a slasher movie. It's about climate change. Maybe a better version of The Happening?

If she makes a legit mark as a horror director, that would cement her status as the top scream queen of all time.
