Is 'You're Next' director Adam Wingard already vying for that 'Halloween' job?

What young, talented horror filmmaker wouldn't want to direct the new Halloween movie? From the looks of it, You're Next and The Guest helmer Adam Wingard is one of those vying for the job; ever since the John Carpenter executive-produced project was first announced, the auteur has been tweeting Halloween-related imagery and even a screengrab that proves Jason Blum “liked” one of his posts.

As other sites have already noted, this is all purely speculation at this point, but it certainly makes one wonder just how close Wingard is (or isn't) to landing the coveted gig. Blumhouse could certainly do a lot worse.

Here's the tweet-storm from Wingard that began yesterday:
