While Rob Zombie has officially begun casting H2, the sequel to his own remake of HALLOWEEN, Dimension Films has officially slated the film for release on August 28, 2009. Watch for official casting news as it comes in. Tyler Mane is the only confirmed cast member returning as he'll once again rock the mask of the infamous Michael Myers. In other news, Zombie's action film Tyrannosaurus Rex has officially been pulled off Dimensions' release slate (obviously).

Feels like this sequel is going to be very rushed. Hopefully zombie has been working on the script for a while.

Woah!, I didn't think they would be rushing it out so fast, since filming just began,but hopefully it doesn't turn out so bad. Peacce Out !

August? Sucks. Wish it would battle Saw in October!

I'm really hoping this is done right. It could highlight a few aspects of the first and hopefully the continuity would make me like the first more than I do. I know it's possible, I just don't know if Zombie can pull it off.

I have a feeling this movie is a lot further in development than they want us to believe. Didn't the first one start filming in Sept 06 for a Aug 07 release. Thats 11 months. I think the script has been finished for a while now and most of the cast has already been in place

girlscoutstalker, i completely agree with you! I would seriously not be surprised if they started filming already...

There must be a script ready if they are filming in February I think it has been said. October would have been perfect. Maybe the August date is one they think they can dominate the box office dollar. I'm very curious to read the plot and details to this. I know BD will be on it and report as soon as it's available.

Actually, the first one was shot from late January into the middle of February of 2007. As long as the script is done, all they have to get on is casting a location scouting and all the stuff that comes before shooting. But there will be different people that can do many of those things at the same time, so hopefully they get on it ASAP.

I am really wanting Zombie to do a great job at this. I love Zombie and I really enjoy everything he does, but I am hoping that he doesn't rush this. A lot of people now will be watching this movie looking for anything to put it down. Don't let us down Rob!!!

i would really rather wait, my friends and i go and see a scary movie every halloween. last year we saw saw 5. well we all know how bad that movie was. it would have been nice to see H2 this year. and also they are rushing this thing

Obviously Zombie has been working on this longer than we were led to believe. It's also likely that this film's story will be a bit less complex than that of the previous film, which will make shooting on such a short schedule easier than last time. While we're likely to see young Michael, his mom, etc. in flashbacks, it's unlikely that the film's three acts will involve three completely different periods in Michael's life the wya the last one did. This one figures to be more fo a straightforward slasher film in its structure.

I didn't like the first one, but I still have hope for this one...Atleast it's not DTV and it's keeping the franchise alive...

i think having it come out in august is kind of silly on there part. They should release it in october sometime. It seems rob been working on the script for sometime. I hope its straight ahead slashing this time around. I would like michael to actually try to kill laurie this time. Bring back the orange titles. Will see if rob can deliver. I still have hopes he can. He shouldn't try to please everyone just go all out on this one. NO holding back this time around. Keep the halloween theme also.

Is it really asking too much for an October release? I'm getting pretty fucking tired of seeing these in the summer. Sure it makes the wait not as long, but it just isn't the same as if it were released in the fall. Plus if it really is going to be released in August they'll have to work quick. A rushed production is one of the reasons Halloween 5 was a failure.

I can see this getting pushed back until early October.

Uh oh. Looks like we might have another Saw on our hands.

If this is a Box Office hit, which it will be, i can see Dimension making Halloween 3, they really need the cash.

boy have they made a HUGE mistake here. I would say about 10% of the people who saw zombies pos movie liked it. Don't expect the rest of us to be fooled again into coughing up our money again. The only chance this movie had was new directors and a new vision. If dimension spent even 5 min online they would realize most everyone HATED it. UGH.
