'Halloween' Sequel Talk From Inside Directors!
Tuesday, August 26, 2008

The boys over at Arrow in the Head came across an article in the latest issue of Rue Morgue Magazine where French directors Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo talk a bit about their involvement in Dimension Films sequel to Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN. It's unfortunate that the duo left HELLRAISER, but it's also pretty incredible that they could save Michael Myers from what appeared to be his death.

AITH report that Bustillo and Maury are officially attached to HALLOWEEN 2, or so they claim in the latest issue of Rue Morgue Magazine.

"...it's a proposition we couldn't refuse,” Maury explained and added that he and Bustillo are well aware of Zombie's re-imagining of Michael Myers and they're out to put their stamp on the character, not copy what came before them. "Therefore, our vision will be done with utmost respect, with a continuity of [Zombie's] work but also a real evolution of the world he set in place."

I personally think they should do a sequel completely ignoring Zombie's film, but that's just me... what do you guys think about this? Where should the franchise go from here?

This is just another shining example of how film studios will do anything to rake in more money. A sequel to Rob Zombie's Halloween? I honestly haven't heard a worse idea since they decided to remake the original Halloween... not that Rob Zombie's version was terrible or anything, but let's face it; it was a bad idea.

Honestly I think this SUCKS but only for one reason. I submitted a script to them for a Halloween 2 and was in talks w/ Trancas about maybe using the script but oh well. I wish them all the best luck and maybe Michael will come back in a HUGE WAY!!

I just don't see how its possible. We all know how Zombie's ended... so now what? It could go some different directions but I think it would just start to become ridiculous.

I Think Zombie Killed Him For A Reason, So It Would Save His Art Work, Just Like Killing The Firefly Family, What Are They Gonna Magically Come Back Too?

Really all they have to do is Copy the style, the atmosphere, and the brutality that they used perfectly on Inside and this will be the best horror film of the decade.

Zombies Halloween was terrible. I like Devils Rejects and House of 1000, but Halloween was just not for Zombie. Its a very different kind of film that Zombie tried to do in his style and it just didnt work, not to mention the "mtv" style of camera work he used was just plain bad. Lets bring back Curtis and go back to the original style of JOHN CARPENTER'S Halloween.

It will be amazing to see what Bustillo and Maury can do with a sequel to the EXCELLENT Rob Zombie's Halloween.

I liked-not loved- Rob's version. Scout SUCKED!! Without a doubt. No question. HATED the ending. She freaks out and goes insane?!! And WHY show Danielle's breasts?!! We saw her as a child in 2 previous films. It felt unnecessary and perverted. The original is sacred ground and NO ONE could top it. I am up for a "new" Halloween 2. I mean-if I could sit through 5,6 & Resurrection: I can sit through a re-imagined Part 2. Could it possibly be as bad as those films?!!

I liked Rob Zombies Halloween, because sometimes I just like to see my favorite icons become far too overly brutal and suddenly have the ability to crush ceilings like butter. That being said, I really don't think we need a sequel to that. A for the "miracle" of him coming back from an apparent death...WHAT? Is a horror icon surviving an apparent death a surprise??? I just hope it doesn't take a Jason-like twist and have him rise from his grave. THEN I say we start burning down studios.

1:20am, August 26, 2008

Glad to see they are going ahead with a sequel to one of the most under appreciated horror films of the last few years.Bring back Scout too, just don't keep her doped up in a hospital room for most of the movie.

As long as good old Michael Myers keeps getting some screen time, I'm up for it. Zombie's version, was nothing compared to the original, but how could it be? It NEVER was going to compare. So i took it for what it was, Michael hacking shit up. Which is always cool. Hated Scout though. She was fucking annoying. And I agree with "Friday Part 7 Rules!!" about Danielle Harris's boobies. I felt vaguely paedophilic watching her. It was pointess having her topless for MOST of her scenes! Don't get me wrong. I LOVE me some boobies...but it was a but much. I was just "WHY ROB? WHY?" So..where to go with the next installemnt? Hmmm, i dunno. Would they remake the original Halloween 2 and set it in hospital? Could be cool. Or will they go a different way all together and set up a whole new series? Just as long as it is treated with respect. But damn! How the hell are they going to bring him back without him being legally braindead. NO ZOMBIE MICHAEL!

we need a NEW REALLY GOOD STORYLINE for the sequel, with originality, and this could beat easily Zombie's version of the film

Doug Owens
3:59am, August 26, 2008

I agree with Mr. D. They should better go the Eddy Norton route and do "The Incredible Michael Myers" (Scary, Menancing, well developed characters - at least 2,5D, improved photography) and completely disregard the sh*tfest that is RZ's Halloween. (My personal opinion)

Zombie's version wasn't craptastic. A lot better than I was expecting tbh.

Zito
4:50am, August 26, 2008

Besides, I don't think Bustillo & Maury really love the Zombie's version, they are really fans of Carpenter's classic (like us, uh ?) so... Wait & see. The thing I hate about that, it's the fact there comes to USA to make some remakes from Dimension Films & cie... There is no other destiny for foreign directors in States ?

i agree with irving, they should just do a sequel to tie in halloween 4-6. explain the dr. weiss thing. i didnt care for scout either, im sorry she aint no scream queen or jamie lee curtis.

horrorchick81
6:47am, August 26, 2008

forgot to add y is it that noone wants to try and tie up the lose ends of sequels/stories? like again like i said halloween 4-6. noes ya we all know that freddy was a child molester and killed the kids tie up that. and ya i know that they did lil bits of it in freddys dead.

Rob Zombie's Halloween was a huge let down... And I had PLANNED to love it! Would rather they do a sequel unrelated to it - even a straight to DVD sequel to Resurrection (tying up Halloween 4-6 is fine)... But it seems unlikely that the two Halloween franchises would coexist. :(

Pleatherface31
8:08am, August 26, 2008

For the most part, I didn't like Zombie's Halloween. However, there were some great moments in the film, especially in the Workprint Version. Hopefully these cats will provide more of those moments. I don't understand why people are so mad about a sequal, atleast we'll get to see Michael for another 90 minutes. My only wish it that they'd continue the storyline from 4, 5, & 6. Pleatherface out......

8:19am, August 26, 2008

If they were to do anything with a halloween sequel, they should just get Zombie to do it as his image of myers was more brutal and imagitive and in some way realistic to wat a killer would be like so i say zombie should do it if it were to happen

GoliathSlasher
8:19am, August 26, 2008

i just saw tyler mane at a con this weekend and he kinda hinted this was going to happen. i personally cant wait. i loved zombie's halloween, though i believe it shouldn't have been soo zoomed in and shaky. but i like these directors, and i would love nothing more than to see a sequel a.s.a.p/ i hope they bring back Danielle Harris also, i just love her.

Rob Zombie's awful "Halloween" continuity? No thanks. Rob Zombie destroyed one of the greatest horror icons of all time. See you in Hot Topic, Mikey.

TheMadMime
8:24am, August 26, 2008

I hope they will ignore Zombie's film. Nothing in 'Zombieween' is worth revisiting in a sequel. Not even Myers really. I'm hoping they'll just start the film with The Shape happening upon babysitters and leave it at that.

baronterror
8:28am, August 26, 2008

just tying up, re-explaining, filling out what was avoided but shot for 6 would be great. But as unlikely as anything I can think of. A Sequel to RZ Halloween is fine, and I agree to not have to follow other sequels. No HOspital, blah blah. I just really want to see more Michael in the ward, as a youth. As the kid what played him is older now,bang, later years. And Show him getting closer to what he became. Maybe like in a number of his comic books, some early murders as a youth that no one could really connect to that "poor" nearly comatose patient. But ...nah. Wont happen. But that's what I'd say they should take from Zombies, the history, early michael stories. Face it, that's what we havent seen before, I"m all for more of that.

P.W.
8:32am, August 26, 2008

Am I hallucinating or did someone say let's tie in 4-6. I think I just vomitted in my own mouth. Yeah, those Oscar winning sequels! Good grief people get a grip. You knew that if Zombies re-imagining made money, another sequel was coming with or without Rob Zombie. Zombies movie wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. We quickly forget that if the original Halloween was put out today, it would suck as is! It was great in 78' but couldn't work today. It's too seminal by today's standards. Zombie had to re-invent the wheel and should be given credit. What was he supposed to do. I guess he could have followed up those Oscar winning sequels that took place on farms complete with Barn parties. Or for that matter, follow up the classic Internet, Kung Fu Michael Meyers. When did Haddonfield become a farming community anyway? Yeah those movies where a skinny actor playing Michael, complete with funny non-Myers looking mask was created by the stars and phantom strangers break him out of jail. I wonder what his bond was? Maybe the stranger could have called a bondsman rather than kill all of those cops. Classics, I say! By the way, even John Carpenter bailed out on H2. He knew that there was no way to top the original, but he took the royalties and ran all the way to the bank while others ruined his creation.

Afflicted
8:49am, August 26, 2008

Seeing as Rob Zombie basically took a shit on all that was the original halloween when he did his 're-imagining' the news that there is a sequel, although it doesnt suprise me, is yet another slap in the face to the fans of the original. It kind of depresses me when people say 'as long as it gets Michael back on the big screen'. You're really willing to compromise the horror icon that WAS Michael Myers for the two-bit, generic Myers that RZ imagined? Forgive me, but I have taste and would much prefer to throw in a DVD of the previous Halloweens than spend an hour and a half imagining ways to put RZ out of his misery.

I thought Rob Zombies new vision was good, it wasnt incredible like the original but it was good. I didnt want a remake back then, i thought it was completely unnescasary but rob zombies movie was if nothing else entertaining. As for a sequal, i think it couldnt hurt. The French dudes seem to know what they are doing and it may final take the series in a NEW direction that hasn't already been done. It cant just be a remake of the original part 2 because the remake ended differently, so i think its the best thing for the series right now...hopefully they have some good NEW ideas to bring to the table and start something different with Michael Myers.

roberth
9:51am, August 26, 2008

whats up with all the rob zombie haters i loved his version of halloween of course carpenters is the original and the best but at least zombie kept everything from the original and also he made micheal badass again and he also showed what happened thats why i dont understand people they bitch about remakes but when someone actually makes a kick ass movie they still bitch about it . so yew i think a sequel to halloween will kick ass but thats just me i would rather see a good kick ass slasher flick than a piece of crap family movie or another pg 13 i want my blood sex and violence . and i was raised in the 70s and 80s but you know what i say bring back the classics like my bloody valentine and friday the 13th and halloween 2 and piss on all you whining lil bitches that want to complain about remakes

10:02am, August 26, 2008

Oh no! I was just thinking and saying earlier last week(not on this site though) that there probably wouldŽnt be a sequel and that it shouldŽnt, I only saw the workprint of the remake but judging from that it was rubbish, definitely one of the worst if not the worst horror remake IŽve seen. But it looks like these new French directors have potentials so IŽll just wait.

brandonsl21
10:17am, August 26, 2008

Ya know, everyone is saying (well not everyone) that RZ's Halloween sucked and all this but can you imagine if they continued the original series? What would have happened after Resurrection? Michael in Hell or space what? Personally I think it would have went straight to Hell. I think the new Director's would work great an a re-imaging of Halloween 2 wouldn't be a horrible thing. Honestly RZ's Halloween isn't a great film but it isn't a bad film. You look at Halloween 5, 6, and Resurrection they were not good at all RZ's Halloween was better than those. I submitted a script for Halloween 2 and am waiting to hear some news on it. Now I don't know if these new directors are also then official writers or not but we will see. I just think we need to stop hating on RZ's Halloween cause if you watch it without the original in your mind it really isn't that bad of a film. We could have had a straight to DVD Halloween or some really stupid Hall9ween film. Anyway I think we need something really good to compete w/ the upcoming Friday the 13th and I hope for the best for the film and franchise.

10:51am, August 26, 2008

I think this is a good idea. There is no point in starting over again, just continue it with a new style.

11:02am, August 26, 2008

Sigh...things should have been left alone after H20. It was a great reboot, while at the same time it closed off the series. Unfortunately for us fans, the studio's goal is to make money. If they really cared about Halloween, do you honestly think we would have been treated to Parts 5 or 6? or even the concept of "The Thorn"??? They know us "fanboys/girls" will go out and see/rent this movie because we are addicted to Michael Myers. They also know we are gonna check it out just to see if the last one can be outdone (and considering how horrid a couple of the sequels have been, that isn't all that hard). All in all, it just makes me sad.

11:37am, August 26, 2008

I liked Rob's Halloween. I liked it better than any of the sequels after the second one. BUT, one of my favorite things about it is the ending where she BLOWS HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF. I think that it's a strong ending, and Robs way of keeping it from becoming a new franchise that would decay like the first did. If anyone can pull off a sequel, it's these guys, but I would SO much rather see their Hellraiser, or better yet, something original from them.

chungnuts
11:41am, August 26, 2008

Resurrection destroyed the series, the only thing Rob did was inject life back into the series, and as long as Myers is out there on a rampage, I'm pretty sure I'll be there watching.

I'd read all the comments before mine, but let's be honest.. we all know what they say. Anyway, the original Halloween series was beaten into the ground and had nowhere left to go. Zombie did his and killed him off(like he should have been after part 2 anyway). So yeah, continue on with your assumed hate fest, hope your asses and wrists don't hurt from sitting here typing too long :)

How do we know RZ killed Michael Myers? Did we see where the gun shot him? No, we didn't how do we know it shot him in the head it may have got his shoulder remember he grabed the gun before Laurie shot it so maybe at the last ditch sec. it got his shoulder.

Wow. Inside gets reviews prettier than diamonds, and when news comes that they want to do a Halloween film, people bitch. This is why I believe that if anything got fucked up over the years, it's our own damn fault. It's just as bad as the F13 fans who flocked whenever Jason was shipped off to some bizzare location, only to cry outrage when he's brought back to Crystal Lake.

1:49pm, August 26, 2008

I agree RZ's Halloween wasn't soooooo bad as everyone says. I agree the original series is done it was time to end it and like it or not RZ's Halloween is the NEW beginning for the film. I don't want to see the franchise die or go back to the original series including Laurie's Son John Tate that would have been ok following H20 or Resurrection but there is no going back in my opinion. The Franchise has been RESTARTED anf has new life. If we didn't go this way Michael would have went straight to DVD or Hell one. I think a sequle would be great. If the bring back Laurie (Scout), Loomis (Malcolme), Brackett (Douriff), Michael (Mane), & Annie (Danielle). Keep the story going. With the way RZ's Halloween ended I think they should maybe do a revamp or imaging of the original Halloween 2 but make it different. Make Michael even more aggresive and ruthless. I dont know but I do think it is to soon to start a new year and a new Halloween w/ Laurie 2 or 3 or 4 years older. The night isn't over, the horror/evil is still out there walking among us.

"Where should the franchise go from here?" The garbage can. Leave it be! He is dead. And why is everyone bashing Zombie's film? I thought he did wonders to the franchise, I enjoyed his version more so then any other previous film (maybe except for Part III which is still my favorite in the series).

bonzo28
2:13pm, August 26, 2008

What in the hell? Why "re-imagine" anything or "continue" any of the other movies other than Zombie's film? If another re-imagine came out everyone would bitch "it wasn't as good as the original," just like they did with Zombie's. I believe the new movie should start right where the other one ended but it should take the franchise in a different direction. I'm with "betz1369" people will see it because it has the Halloween name.

3:27pm, August 26, 2008

I don't think it's worth making as the first one went so wrong. The problem with the first remake is that over half of the film is about Myers' back story to explain why he is psychotic. In my opinion that is where the film (and other upcoming classic slasher remakes - Friday the 13th, Child's Play and A Nightmare on Elmstreet will all go wrong) went wrong. By all means give the killer a motive but traditionally horror slashers were about a sentence to summarise their madness then killing after killing after killing (and if the film was any good some suspence inbetween. Micheal Myers is a psycho, end of. Jason Voorhees is a mumma's boy, end of. Freddy Krueger is a pedophile seeking revenge because of the parents, end of. Charles Lee Ray (Chucky) is a strangler who needs to get out of that dolls body quickly! End of. We don't need anymore back story than the oringal and that's why Rob Zombies Halloween didn't work and why a second film seems a little pointless.

Only two positives I can see: 1. They can't make a film worse than Zombie's remake. There is nowhere but up to go. 2. The directing duo did a nice job on Inside so hopefully they could do something of quality with this sequel.

Undeath
4:06pm, August 26, 2008

Any opportunity to see Michael on the big screen is welcomed by me! I know there's a lot of remake haters here, but come on. That franchise wasn't exactly Lawrence of Arabia before Zombie came along!

I just hope its not in subtitles. I just can't stand having to read the words.

hallmmyers
4:47pm, August 26, 2008

To be honest I'm all about more micheal. The problem with Zombies vision was trying to show Micheal was once a normal child. He wanted to make a serial killer movie with Halloween in the backround and come around with Halloween in the second half. The way Loomis explained him in the first and the scene in Halloween 2. Personlly I think they should redux the whole fucking thing and give us Micheal the way we want him. Let the Shape live

hallmmyers
4:51pm, August 26, 2008

Scratch that the way Loomis described him was not the Zombie version we got. Making Micheal talk was a bad idea and really the ending could work. It doesnt show where she shot him just the blood. It could work. Zombies vision wasnt bad really there was no way it could have succeeded.

5:39pm, August 26, 2008

As long as there's no ridiculously understaffed hospitals and annoying as hell ambulance drivers in this one, I'm up for new writer/directors.It certainly can't fall any shorter than Zombie did with his take.

The Dark One
6:19pm, August 26, 2008

I say bring it on! The new Myers was badass, made old Myers look like a pussy but the film was nowhere near as good as the original Halloween. I thought it was better than all the sequels though but that's just my oppinion. How the fuck do they bring him back though? The only way i can think of is if they don't really explain it like in H2O. Oh and for the ppl moaning about 4,5,6 (even the producers cut) those films sucked, fucked up the series (along with 3) and they don't deserve a true sequel! Let them die already!

This is one of those situations where if they don't get the concept right, it won't matter how good the execution is. The original franchise is dead. It died with Laurie Strode and "DANGERTAINMENT!" As disjointed aas Zombie's film was, it was still head and shoulders above most of the sequels. I have faith that the team behind Inside can do something unique with the character, but it really has to be set in the universe that the last film was. They cannot set it in a hospital because Dimension doesn't own the rights to Halloween II.

Wow, when Halloween comes up the nerds get vocal. haha. Rob didn't ruin anything, it was a good movie in it's own right. No one on earth can lay claim to the remake being worse than any Halloween sequel after #2. Period. Where ever thes guys decide to take the series, I'm interested.

So.....we're going to see a part II to this piece of shit after all. I guess the $58.2 mil bomblet from 2007 wasn't enough of a sign to nail the coffin on this idea. Remember that 58 mil is subpar by today's inflationary stub prices and below almost all of the high profile horror projects that studios have pushed in the mainstream movie community (in Zombie's case, shoved down our collective throats). ROB's "vision" most definately underperformed at the box office. So what I wonder, do these 2 guys think they can bring to the table.....These boards just got a lot more interesting.

Great news! I enjoyed RZ's Halloween for what it was: an exploitation film. What were you haters expecting, seriously? I'm glad we'll be seeing more of Michael Myers. He's in great hands. Here's a quote from Bustillo and Muary talking about their approach to making Inside scary: "JULIEN MAURY: Thank you. It was very important to give this ghost aspect to Le Femme. From the beginning we worked with our DP Laurent Barès. We told him we need some dark corners on the frames and dark places, but really dark – black, where you can see nothing. We wanted the audience to have the impression that she could be wherever there was darkness. I think it worked because of one of our favorite sequences is behind the couch when Sarah (Alysson Paradis) is falling asleep with the television on. La Femme is behind her coming at her floating like a ghost, coming closer and closer and then Sarah [suddenly] wakes up and she disappears back into the darkness. This sequence is the expression of what we wanted for this character. She is like a ghost [who can be] everywhere and so the danger can then be anywhere. ALEXANDRE BUSTILLO: It’s like in Halloween for us too. We are big fans of this John Carpenter movie. In this moment of the movie Julien described, Beatrice is like Michael Myers in that she is only a shape, no body and just a white face. This was a little homage to Carpenter’s Halloween."

the funny thing is nobody seems to remember Michael getting shot in the face at point blank range with a 357 magnum in the original serious... I think a sequel would be great. RZ halloween was not anywhere near as bad as resurrection. besides the original halloween 1 & 2 always seemed like one movie to me so why not do it again? How do you just submit scripts? I've been having soooo many ideas and scripts but I never knew you could just submit them.

I appreciate Rob Zombie's enthusiasm for the genre, but he really should just be a producer and put up the money for someone with more vision to direct. His version of "Halloween" was overly brutal, unrealistic far beyond what any horror film should be (Michael busting through oak doors...DUMB), and NOT scary. Hopefully these guys can take Halloween more in the direction of the classic where being creepy and understating the gore leaves more to the imagination and makes the scares more unsettling and real. And when will they do a slasher movie that follows the life of the killer...I think that would be an interesting take on this genre that seems to be floating dead in the water.

RZ's Halloween wasnt THAT bad, come one, it was better than the abomination that was Ressurrection, it was Halloween done through his eyes ie loaded with white trash characters. It was brutal but not very scary so hopefully the sequel will make Myers scary again. If thats possible. Would love to see him portayed the way Carpenter first did and thats mysterious and a touch supernatural

Honestly, I think that Rob Zombie's version was awsome! One thing's for sure, it had way more violence than the original and I think I preffer the "new mask" of Michael Myers. THEY SHOULD NOT BE DOING A SEQUEL TO RZ'S HALLOWEEN!!! That was suppose to be just a remake of the original,and Rob did a great job! Don't add anything to the story! It ended really well and I hope it stays that way! THEY SHOULD DO A SEQUEL TO RESURRECTION INSTEAD,MAKE A HALLOWEEN 9! If they liked Rob's version so much, they can just use the "new mask" of Michael in a sequel of Resurrection! I'm a big HALLOWEEN fan and even I think its a bad idea to continue Rob's story.COMMON! RZ'S HALLOWEEN WAS NOT MEANT TO HAVE A SEQUEL!!!

58.2 million dollars is not a "bomblet." You have to realize that films these days are judged by how they did in relation to the budget. Rob's film cost less than 15 million dollars, and it went on to make almost 80 million worldwide. That doesn't count the 40 or so million dollars it's earned with DVD sales, and the monies it will earn when it goes to cable this fall. This film made it's money back and then some. There is no way that Malek Akkad and Dimension will let anyone even think of making a sequel to the original franchise.

Hhhhmmmm.....A challenge. Well, let's get right into it then, shall we..... Stepford Wives-$59.4, Amityville-$65.2, Chainsaw-$80.5 The Haunting-$91.4 (all remakes that were released before ROB's little underperforming piece of shit when ticket prices are rated less due to inflation. Shall I continue..... Saw 4-$63.3 Saw 3-$80.2 Saw 2-$87.0 Dawn of the Dead-$59.0 Freddy v Jason-$82.6 Halloween, Halloween 2, H:20, and Resurrection-all higher grossing when adjusted for inflation which is universally accounted for in the industry when calculating the ACTUAL NUMBER OF TICKET STUBS SOLD and therefore the actual number of people who went to see a movie. ROB's turdling did 60% of its business in it's opening labor day weekend frame(most probably due to the push that the Weinstein's, NOT the Akkads, gave it in the mainstream media). To put it into perspective for you.....All of the geniuses with custodial rights over he michael myers character got a bright idea fresh on the heels of this horror revival to go gonzo brutal with the Michael Myers character, hoping that they could at least break the 80 million barrier as leatherface, freddy, and jason had recently done. Henceforth we were privy to an extreme media bombardment with this piece of shit that we have rarely seen for this type of movie before. Why...you ask? Because the Weinstein's and the Akkads had little stars in their eyes and teepees in their shorts about milking the cash cow with one of the most iconic characters in the genre coupled with one of the more controversial (if not talentless) directors whose star was supposedly on the rise. The end result.....why don't you look up THE PRINTED QUOTE out of Bob Weinstein's mouth that was uttered after the opening weekend receipts were made public. If you can't find it, I'll show you where to look. Not a pretty picture to say the least. There is no way that the Akkads turned the franchise over to the Weinstein's expecting that it was going to perform like the omen remake, and that's EXACTLY what happened. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Hello Sauron. Been a long time. Hope you are well. As I'm sure you remember, I was very much on the fence with the re-imagining. I was against it at first and realized that a sequel to Resurrection wasn't the way to go either. So I climbed on board and took a wait and see approach. I could take or leave the new Hallloween. It was certainly better than 4-Resurrection, but couldn't come close to the original. It was okay for me. A little too much perversion and trailer park language, but again at least it wasn't a farm setting, Thorn, Karate, let's break Michael out of jail sequel. I couldn't take any more of those. As for the french guys...I dont know much about them or their work. I'd be curious what they come up with. Michael Myers is cash cow no matter which way you slice it (pardon the pun). Unless you do a Michael in space ala Jason, it will make a profit and that is all the studios care about. We can expect to see a sequel started very soon know matter what any of us think. We just have to hope it's a decent take on the Myers mytho. No hospital crap, please. I miss the back and forth with you and Johnny! Talk soon.

Wow! So much hating and arguing on this. I have read all these comments, every single one. Ok first, Halloween 9 makes MM close to 60 and let's face it, what's scary about that? There were 2 versions to RZ's Halloween, I have both. The escape from Smith's Grove and the ending were different in both. One3 ending shows Michael getting shot many many times by the police, the other by Laurie. Laurie is not shown shooting Michael, it is only implied. Remember the original when Dr. Loomis shot Michael 6 times and he fell from a second story window and walked away? They still made a successful sequel didn't they? As for Scout Taylor Compton, I liked what she brought to the character and thought she screamed well. No one could ever replace Jamie Lee, however, I liked Scout. Then there is the "boob" issue. Not once while watching her topless scene did I revert to her child roles in Halloween or Roseanne. People get older and mature thats the life cycle folks. Can not even believe that was an issue. They are just boobs at the end of the day, come down off the cross. Whether you liked the remake/prequel that RZ did or not, We got to see MM again faster and far more brutal than ever. No matter what fans and haters alike will pay the 10 bucks to see it because we all have one thing in common; the love of the horror genre, and will continue to support it. I look forward to the sequel and wanted it from the minute the credits started to role and the end of RZ's interpretation. By the way 4,5 and 6 were all aids in ruining this timeless franchise. I welcome new visions for it. I would like to echo the sentiments of ROBERTH. I too was raised in the 70's and 80's and cannot wait to see the remakes of the horror movies That scared the hell outta me when I was younger. I watch them now and If they were released today the "haters" in this forum would have a field day trashing them so why not welcome what we could do with them today? Now, these french dudes have some big shoes to fill and so did the writers for F13 remake. I wish them the best of luck with these projects and thank them for giving us our horror icons back.

TO me Halloween 2 always reminded me of Visiting Hours. I have always wanted to see Micheal become the hunted instead of the hunter. Micheal survives and somehow escapes from the custody of police and its all balls out assult of survival for Haddonfield. One thing that I didnt like about the original Halloween that they didnt want to tell anyone that Micheal had escaped. Well let everyone know that he is here and is loose and let the town go absolutely crazy. Now they did this a little in Halloween 4 but I think this concept could really be taken to the next level. Knowing that a killing machine is one the loose and everyone really taking it serious.

5:47pm, August 27, 2008

Here's what they need to do. Rob Zombie's film was just a re-invention of Halloween 1. The whole series should not be re-invented, so what does that mean? Continue where they left off. Have a death of Michael Myers or something. Lets see him with his mask off. Make the new one crisp with an original feel like the Halloween remake. Don't make another crappy H20 and certainly don't make him go up to space. Make him tall like Scout Taylor Compton. Michael Myers is running out of family members to kill, so what's next after their dead? That needs to be in the next one. Let's make the new one make-up for the previous crappy ones. I swear, I could write a better Halloween sequel given the chance!

That still doesn't mean that this film didn't make money. It made more money than it would have had they made a direct sequel to Resurrection. My point in all this is to say that the original franchise is DEAD. It wouldn't make any business sense for the producers to continue it just because a few of you guys on the fringes want to see some resolution to the John Tate storyline.

P.W.....Nice to hear from you again. And yes, I do remember you well. I hope everything is well with you in life. As one of the longtimers in the RzWeenie forums you are indeed correct. We probably disagree a little on the merits of 4 and the P-cut of 6 vs. H20, Busta, and Hillbilly's paradise but we know each other's take pretty well at this point. Some part of me misses the halcyonic days of Johnny, Daveburg, Halloweenfan (more on that in a sec), and goliathslasher (oh.....the pain of writing that name again). Now, Halloweenfan.....I remember completely that we utterly disagreed on the merits (or lack thereof) of ROB's directing acumen. HOWEVER, since you laid down the gauntlet (I suspect in an attempt to trip me up on a fairly out-of-date one off remark) here is the evidance that you requested. 1)http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/9802 AS WELL AS 2) http://www.reuters.com/article/technology-media-telco-SP/id USN0130290720070903?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0 While Weinstein lays down some peripheral praise the quote "I never say never never ... but it would have to be something very, very different," should speak absolute volumes as to what he felt about the final product. Remember too that the 2 picture deal alluded to in the article was inked MONTHS in advance of the film's premiere and consequently this quote, so one CANNOT hope to glean that Weinstein was offerring that as a carrot reward for good workmanship (I REALLY want to see if Weinstein puts his name on Tyranneousaurous Rex).....In an industry where these guys absolutely have to master the art of subtlespeak and concealing a statement-within-a-statement I think you can deduce that no one would make that kind of remark on opening weekend if they were absolutely gushing over one Mr. Cummings "vision."

Very well put DBlock. I too am a product of the 70's and 80's. In fact I went to see the original in the theater three times. Imagine that. In 78' when there was no surround sound or THX. The original wouldn't work today. If it came out today people would complain that it was too slow and not bloody enough. I'm a little excited about the new Friday the 13th. That needed a re-boot badly. I never really thought about Myers being 60 today. That was funny. Chasing people with a knife and a walker. While Zombie didn't make a masterpiece, we forget Carpenter's was also flawed. For example, Michael driving, Loomis and Police can't see the institutions vehicle parked on the same street just yards away with wheels turned outwards until convenieant to the plot. Those are just a couple. Saroun...I'm curious about your take on the new Friday movie? Not sure if you're a fan of those movies.

P.W., I hope they do F13 justice and I certainly am willing to give THAT franchise a shot because to me Carpenter's Halloween is a special moment in the history of film. The F13 series to me has always been an inferior (though still enjoyable) mockup of the so-called "slasher" genre. I would bet a lot that Carpenter wasn't going into the whole Haddonfield story with the express thought of giving birth to a community based on the serial killer mythos. I'm pretty sure (though I can't claim to read minds) that he was simply looking to put out a well-executed (really bad pun) and just plain scary QUALITY movie. And yes, many of us could probably have discoverred the cure for cancer or accrued the necessary financial means to make our families secure for generations if we dedicated even a fraction of our time, resources, and energy away from explaining our opinions oh-so-delicately (re: bitching and moaning lol) I wish the F13 people well because to me (as if it matters) they're Qualified filmakers ADDING to a series that is even deader than Haddonfield, if that were possible. I have no real care or compunction what direction they take as long as there's at least some reverance to the source material unlike say a Highlander 2 or wait how about RZween. Elm Street is a little different because that particular series has SUCH an iconic character that a "reboot" leaves a lot of room for heated arguement about the merits of such. Also, P.W., remember, that all of the above movies are being made by certifiable, quality, ACTUAL filmakers who've paid their dues in the film community, NOT some half-wit celebrity hack who one day wakes up and decides to induldge himself in a profession, with the full complicity of a fawning, idiotic media spin machine, that many more qualified and legitimate persons have sweated blood and bullets just to get THE CHANCE to fail at. ROB Zombie was allowed to defecate all over Carpenter's vision simply because he had a degree of fame and notoriety that the studio felt would translate to $$$$$. Meanwhile, those of us passionate about the sanctity of the Halloween's place in the movie community are left with the infantile, creatively-bankrupt, disjointed piece of sh%t from 2007.....

Haddonfieldkilla, although I agree that made for tv horror is never as good as the motion pictures, I have to tell you The Shining was not relly remade. The made for tv movie stays true to the book. That is how the story really goes. Stanley Kubrick made his own vision and Jack Nicholson rocked it. It was nice to see the true story come to life but I also would have preferred a horror director to release it in theaters.

4:06pm, August 28, 2008

Ok, Sauron just to tell you I wasn't trying to "trip" you up I was just wanted to see what the Weinstiens had to say. I think they may have not liked the finished movie but they liked the Cash that came running in. 80 million worldwide is just to much to believe that they wouldn't make a sequel. As for the 2 picture deal the article I read said that he signed it days before the Halloween release. As for what Bob Weinstien said about it "We admire Rob for all the roles he plays. As a writer and director."

sauronthepowerful
4:26pm, August 28, 2008

Fair enough about the tripping part. However, the deal was ANNOUNCED days before the release. I find it real hard to believe that there was not a planning stage and then a back and forth with the attornies for that WEEKS in advance. Especially since the Weinsteins are known as a meticulously organized industry machine. That should tell absolutely confirm for you what I'm saying that that deal was planned well in advanace but that the remarks were made once the final product had a chance at public analysis. So I have to disagree with your views on that. I think that the Weinsteins were probably riding the hype that they created PRIOR (read that, prior) to the film's release and when they started getting wind of the critical and fan reaction, they were looking for a way to save face. Remember that the movie was riding at 18% on Rotten Tomatoes after opening weekend (has since risen to a whopping 26%) and was getting absolutely killed on AICN. Those two sites are extremely important mainstream movie guages that I'm absolutely positive that the Weinsteins (as well as many other "bigwigs" in the Hollywood community) pay close attention to fan response. Another thing to consider is that RZweenie took in 31 mil on opening weekend and then only 27 more for the entire life of it's theatrical run. Usually that is an indicator of extreme media and studio hype translating into terrible word-of-mouth reviews that cause a movie to subsequently sink like a rock (as this one did). Lastly, 80 million worldwide is NOT a significant take. If you don't want to believe me on that then consult any number of tracker sites such as: BoxOfficeMojo, BoxOffice Guru, MovieWeb, RottenTomatoes, Etc. Etc. Etc. I can readjust the takes and figures that I listed above if you wish to reflect their "worldwide" takes, if you wish. Regardless, 80 mil is nothing to run home about worldwide when dealing with a "movie" that had the push and studio hype that we were bombarded with in 2007.

Sauron, Something very funny about you is that the general population thinks Rob is a weirdo and you simply call him Mr. Cummings. Thats Great.

Anyway Sauron what do you think about his upcoming "T Rex" movie?

sauronthepowerful
6:29pm, August 28, 2008

I'm kind of split on T Rex. I think ROB will do a very good job because the script (what we've heard) falls perfectly into his passions. What's kind of sad about this is that ROB showed SOME, and I do mean some, promise as a film-maker but her REALLY needs to take the next step and branch out while dumping some of the amateur gonzocam techniquesand bad habits we've started to notice. If ROB wants to seriously be a director then he really needs to hit a growth process and stop churning out bad grindhouse fare (though much B-movie stuff can be quite enjoyable) that paints him into a particular stereotype. Most reviewers stated that ROB showed some promise above what we saw in Rejects and House with RZween. For me, I think he can make it pretty good because he's not constrained by such an iconic story and not trying to make things 'better' as he claimed in that interview in Feb. '07. Mr. Cummings is such a conformist, establishment, blase title that I think it fits like a glove on a guy who's made his career trying to irk mainstream society.....

I agree that it would only work correctly if they bring back Scout Taylor Compton. I think she did an awesome job and I think that many viewers were anticipating the shocking moment of revelation when her character realizes that she's the lil' sister of Michael Myers. Having him come back after such an intense ending from the first one would strengthen the horror of his relentless pursuit. With the original second film, my favorite part has to be when Jamie Lee Curtis is hiding in the car outside of the hospital... absolutely frightning. The way Michael seems to pace in the second one is strangely reminiscent of the alleged pacing of those individuals resurrected with zombie powder with a purpose.

So Everyone is on here arguing about "if" there will be a sequel or not. Malcolm Mcdowell stated that Halloween was to be a Trilogy and he had signed on for all 3. So that goes with what HorrorFan1978 says as well. Plus I did talk to Scout the other day and she says that she was contacted already about a sequel. So look it's gonna happen and the main thing is that Michael isn't dead. We didn't see if Laurie's shot hit him in the face or not he had grabbed the gun and who knows. Zombie himself said it's left up to our own interpretation. I think the Sequel could be good if it's done right. Don't have Laurie in a damn hospital the entire time. It's so boring and exhausting to watch. And please don't tie it into 5 or 6 where the little cult shit gets started that was the dumbest bullshit ever. Michael is not the way he is because of a cult. Zombie's movie showed us that. Have Laurie, Loomis, Annie, Sheriff Brackett, and maybe Ben Traimer and it could be successful but let's face it. Zombie's vision was brutal, real, and raw and i think it did Michael some justice to not be some little pussy who can never die like Jason. He is not some retarded deformed freak. He's a damn unstoppable force. I really love how he wasn't trying to kill Laurie but she was the only member of his family besides his mom that gave him peace. I'd say that shit is out the window after she stabbed him. I say hell yes to Halloween 2 as long as we aren't in a damn Hospital and Michael continues on doing what he does best avoiding death and chasing his baby sister.

Why ignore it? They done that w/ H20 and I hated that (not the film.) I think a 2nd Halloween following RZ's would be fine. RZ's Halloween is so not as bed as everyone (including my) said it was. I hated hated hated this film when it 1st came out but after watching the UNRATED version on DVD a few times I realized it really isn't that bad. I think I (an just about everyone else) went into this thing w/ the original on our mind thinking it was going to be very simular to the 78 classic and it wasn't so everyone was pissed off and closed minded including myself. It is actually a good film great NO but good. Much better than some of the other Halloween films (6 & Resurrection) and what would everyone rather have happened? A part 9 following the POS Resurrection? That would have either went straight to DVD or Hell.

Okay, first off, i am a big fan of the hellraiser movies, they were great, and i hated rob zombies halloween. i grew up watching halloween, michael myers in my eyes is the greatest horror movie character of all time and in order to toy with his character should have been thought about with serious sense. all i've seen on posts by rob zombie was that he was going to make his own image on the films with most respect but in all reality, watch the damn movie people, it was purely disrespectful. to have somebody that made house of 1000 corpses and devils rejects, and 2 people that made hellraiser. COME ON! good movies but they are all GORE. halloween was NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER about gore, debra hill said it herself. even thought it was RZ's own side of the story, it was too much, stop using directors that made horror movies that arent anything like halloween and use somebody that ACTUALY WATCHED THE MOVIES CAREFULLY. you cant continue a NEW HALLOWEEN TRILOGY WHEN THE OTHER ONE STILL HASNT ENDED. at the end of 8 he opened his eyes. theres been about 30 years of work put into the original halloween trilogy, and your gonna end it without an ending and start a whole new one? does that make any sense when people will pay top dollar to see the original trilogy continue because they love it? it wont get boring because it has to end, and people wanna see how it'll end. dont start another 30 years of movies, FINISH THE REAL TRILOGY. RZ's version seemed fake, since when was myers a trailer park guy with long hair, a stitched mask, grunted, ran through walls throughout the hall movie to kill people within 2 seconds of them being on screen. he stalked people and thats what made him HIM. when that mask appears within the dark. please. continue the original trilogy, dont start a POINTLESS new one. and use directors who arent about nudity, sex, gore and complete violence. the 3 girls in the first movie werent making sex jokes 24/7 and moaning on eachother, i understand you cant bring a 1970's character into a 2008 time. but just because its a new date doesnt mean there arent good and nice girls. saying that is like saying every girl in our time now is dirty because its 08. thats disrespectful and stereotypical. just because its 08 dont mean you need gore. maybe in gore based movies its good. but not for these movies. not halloween. if your gonna make a new one, stop continuing remakes, stop spitting on michael myers, DO NOT USE SCOUT. people who like this kind of crap obviously never payed attention to the real trilogy. get josh hartnett back in the picture. continue the damn story line the way it was. just because rob zombie liked halloween doesnt mean he can direct it. damn, if thats the case, everyone on this site should team up and make the sequel, they probably know more and would do a better job too. you cant spit on a classic, remaking the original was stupid. thats like remaking the original hellraisers, or on action terms, remaking scarface, the godfather, pulp fiction, the old starwars movies. leave good movies alone, dont remake good movies and ruin them. remake bad movies and fix them. in my opinion, john carpenter and malek akkad should make the sequel from resurrection. mr. moustapha akkad (God rest his soul) wouldnt have wanted this for his halloween trilogy, fix this while you can and make it better, alot more fans will be happy. and you cant say its about money because youd make more money continuing the original story than the new. RZ's halloween isnt part of the trilogy like RZ said. but still. you cant continue the old trilogy while continuing a foolish and POINTLESS new one. if people are so willing to destroy the greatest horror film of all time than stop while your ahead and have john carpetenter and malek akkad make the sequel to the original story, and make that the final movie, and i hate to say this, but than either kill michael myers, or just have him do what hes set out to do and finish killing his family, and end the old trilogy so we can atleast have that trilogy done and untouched. than after that if all of you are that willing to toy with something good, than after the old trilogies done, go and make your "own thoughts" on michael myers. but dont go making your own interpretations before the real stories done. and mr. carpenter, im very upset because i would've thought that you would be more protective of just anybody messing with your masterpiece. dont give the power to ruin it to anybody. if you dont want to bother with it anymore than make the fans that made your movie money in 1978 and end the trilogy, stop breaking our hearts by letting these people ruin Halloween, i need to see the trilogy end before people toy with it. I hope this changes your mind about letting people ruin it. Donald Pleasence died after part 6 and said he wanted 31 movies made, that will never happen obviously. but he wouldnt have liked this at all. just end the trilogy before continuing a giant comedy version. and if you do continue the ridiculous RZ version than study the old movies and make myers the way he should be. give the man a haircut, let him stalk people, mold his mask together, let him breathe not grunt, and find somebody that isn't a legally stated giant. they turned michael myers into a giant masked version of the undertaker. i thought i was watching see no evil part 2. like i said. if killing the character with a new trilogy is inevitable. than end the old one before hand and let it rest in peace. and i agree, seeing danielles harris's breasts was too much, rob needs to stop thinking horror films is all about nudity, sexy, gore and violence. there like bloody pornos, it was like the zombie stripper movie with jenna jameson, which is also dumb. but like i said. if you wanna start a new dumb trilogy, end the old one, and end it right, not with these other people who never touched a halloween film or just suck at it. end the old trilogy and end it right. do it smart, give the fans what they want, because without the fans, this trilogy would've stopped after part 1 and it wouldnt have been loved enough for anyother director talented or untalented to wanna remake it. and ANYBODY will agree with me on that if they have atleast 1% of their brain intact. in my opinion, which everyone has one. i say whoever can say RZ's halloween was good or great or sadly to even quote.... "better than the original".. they dont love halloween, they dont know halloween, they dont respect halloween, and they dont know the meaning of true horror. make a sequel to the old trilogy and do it right. have the original people make the final movie.... than after its done, everyone can take turns laughing and pissing out a new look for a masterpiece and much loved and ended trilogy.

brandonsl21 i understand your opinion on resurrection. but good or bad, they need to continue it to end the trilogy than. they gotta end the old trilogy before continuing a new one. ya cant leave one alone. for example (whether you like the films or not) its like if they never finished starwars 4-6 and say they stopped with 5, than they made 1-3, and than after a while they wanted to redo 1-5 in their own perspective without making a part 6, especially when one HAS TO be made. it would be stupid and pointless. you gotta finish one job before starting another. to me, it looks like they're running out of talent and they're just getting lazy. its not hard than to make one last movie and kill michael myers off to end the old trilogy. it just gotta be good.

I want to say that I think Tyler Mane played a great Michael Myers...because he studied the character before....I'd have to agree with the idea of finishing the original story...but we all know it's not gonna happen...too many years of promising a Halloween 9 and never got it...as far as the new trilogy plan...I hope it really happens....just because I liked RZ's version doesn't mean I don't understand and respect the original.

If they had not cut out parts 4,5 and 6 they could have easily continued the story with Jamie Lloyds son....some kind of a story where John Tate goes searching for her son to protect him...The baby would also now be nearly a teenage so it could fit niceley in in a few years....In my opinion they should have left it at H20 and if they wanted to reboot it it would have been more welcomed.....The Reason i didnt like the remake was because A.) Michael Myers was TOO HUMAN....B.)Lauire Strode was a horrible person and Loomis was Sneaky and C.) Michalel was WAY to superhuman!!! >:(>:( Just out of curiousity Brandonl21 wat would your halloween 2 have had been like??

I,too felt D.H.'s boobies were too much,having seen her in H4&5,but they sure are nice to look at. Yes,He I S the boogieman,I just hope that as the franchise grows,the writers actually give explanation to HOW he got that way,for instance,being a child of Satan or some reasonable explanation.Maybe if everyone submits ideas,they will have to write an original script so they don't get sued!!
