'Halloween' Sequel Talk From Inside Directors!

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.

Scout sucked in the remake. I just wanted to bash her head in with a baseball bat. >:(

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 dont even remember how it ended. but dont continue it. there beating a dead horse. This has probably been repeated lots but much rather see a VS. movie then anything else then another remake and or sequel.

id rather a continuation from the john tate storyline left from h20 with michael after him

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.

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.

Michael Myers becomes a hermit drag queen who chronically masturbates to amputee porn...

It was bound to happen, Zombie's movie made money. I would see #2. But PLEASE !! NO COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD CRAP !!

IDK if they make it gory and scary as fuck instead of cheese like the others then we will be good. only carpenters, and robs were truly scary everything after that was so so and just mindless fun.

It's about time! o and Jonny Horror, of course he's coming back from the dead...He's the Boogyman.

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!
