We can expect to get our first real look at the upcoming Halloween reboot sometime in early June, at least according to Jason Blum.

For Halloween fans waiting eagerly for a first official look at this year's revival film, a first trailer may only be a little over a week away.

Halloween producer Jason Blum, founder and CEO of Blumhouse Productions, which is producing the latest entry in the iconic slasher franchise, tweeted an estimate for the release of the first trailer in response to fans taking note of the lack of promotional content five months before the film's premiere.

"I want to assure #Halloween fans that we hear you. We have read your comments," Blum wrote. "And I can assure you that early June will be a happy time for you or perhaps I should say for most of you."

While filming on the new Halloween concluded this past February, details and official looks at the upcoming horror movie have largely been kept under wraps. Last week, Blumhouse released the official synopsis for the film confirming reports that the revival will ignore the events of all the sequels leaving only the 1978 original movie as canon. Last month, the first poster for the film was released showing Michael Myers' iconic mask sporting a more weathered look in the sequel.

Set forty years after the original, the upcoming Halloween features Jamie Lee Curtis returning to the role that made her an international superstar as Michael Myers resurfaces decades later to torment Laurie Strode, her daughter Karen (Judy Greer), and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak).

Debuting October 19, the latest Halloween is directed by David Gordon Green from a script written with Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley.
