I’m looking up fan theories again and keep coming across the claim that John Carpenter in an interview has said the 2002 video game is canon to his 1982 movie, but out of literally dozens of references I have not come across a single link or article quoting John Carpenter yet.

Is there anyone obsessed with this game or the movie who knows what interview I’m talking about?

Thanks for your help

      I don’t have Twitter. I don’t think he would know anyway.

      Feel like that dude is busy

          Oh I see. Other than reddit and now lemmy, I didn’t get into other social media. It’s all right though, thanks

        You never know. I’ve actually had some good luck with reaching out to public figures online. Unfortunately, I don’t have use the twatter either, though.

      Very cool.

      There’s a specific interview or quote that is referenced over and over again online that Carpenter said the game is explicitly canon and I can’t find that yet.

      I’ll post an update if I do.
