Danielle Harris in Talks to Return in 'H2'

When Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN remake was announced, one of the biggest pieces of news was that Danielle Harris would be returning to Haddonfield as she'd end up starring (and taking her top off) as Annie Brackett, one of Laurie Strode's friends. Harris was best known in the horror community as little Jamie Lloyd - Michael Myers' niece - in both 20th Century Fox's HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS and HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS. We learned this evening that Harris is in final talks to join the cast of H2, or HALLOWEEN II if you will. She is the latest name circling the project alongside Scout Taylor-Compton, Malcolm McDowell (signed for three films), Daeg Faerch and Sheri Moon Zombie. Tyler Mane (Michael) is the only confirmed name thus far. What do you guys think Zombie will be doing with Harris? The film hits theaters August 28th, 2009.

Since Myers left her all cut up she and Laurie should team up and go all Linda Hamilton Terminator style, hunt Myers down and open huge cans of whoop ass.

I think this time a cool deaf scene would be nice

Oh my God! I've been waiting for this news! She better not be killed off in the first 10!!

i like her but i prefer her when she was in part 4 and 5!

I always found it a little sick that Zombie no doubt cast her in the remake after being a fan of her in Parts 4 and 5 (when she was about 10), so his decision for her to take her top off always struck me as a little sleazy and tasteless, like it was some kind of demon he had to exorcise. I hope I'm wrong coz otherwise that says some pretty disturbing things about him. If she does return for this I hope she stays fully clothed!

hope she comes back and im thinking shes gonna stay injured , from the first movie.

she should return definitely. It be interesting to see what happened to her character. I hope she survived and has a nice big part in the film. If you count h4 h5 and this remake. She's one of the few characters that survived michael. I don't think you should just kill her off. She is a strong character and a strong actress.

It be cool if they had a hospital scene with her in it. She survived. Loomis shows up and kicks michaels ass.

she should get hacked up by a stalker ... that would be sweet!

I have a feeling that Zombie is going to have a little twist on the hospital setting from Halloween II by having Michael stalk Annie there as well as Laurie. I don't know if there are any legal issues with using a hospital setting in this film since Universal owns the rights to Halloween II, but i think it would be a cool way to honor the original sequel, as well as putting a new spin on the film. Either way, I'm glad that Danielle Harris will be back.

Well, Annie being brought back is good news I hope he doesn't kill her in this film either that way she can comeback for Halloween 3!!!!!

Officially the first piece of good news about this movie in a long while (or at least since the earlier directors for this film were announced).

I knew she would return. Great news!!!

I was never a huge fan of Halloween 4 or 5, but it is nice to hear Danielle Harris may be returning for H2. Aside from the involvement of the Akkad family, she's the last thread connecting the old to the new films.

8:36am, January 5, 2009

this is excellent news!! Danielle's ANNIE was one of the BEST things in the movie! i'm thrilled w/ this news!

djblack1313
8:41am, January 5, 2009

oh, i forgot, i agree w/ Horror Writer. Annie being all topless was WAY too gratuitous and Zombie knows it. there's NO reason (especially in H2!) for her to be all naked the entire movie. and DEFINITELY DO NOT kill her off. i actually would rather ANNIE be the main focus over Scout's LAURIE (no offense to Scout or her fans).

jpd44

Danielle Harris is cool and all but Annie was not the "best" part of Halloween and no way should Annie be the main focus of H2. Scout's a better actor and Halloween is nothing without Laurie. The original Laurie Strode died in Resurrection and the series had to reboot after that. Wonder what Halloween would be like without Laurie? Just think about the final hour and twenty minutes of Resurrection. Yeah. See my point?

Great! I pray to God everyone from the first film comes back to do "H2". I hate it when a sequel is made with different actors playing the same characters as the first film. I really hope Scout Taylor-Compton comes back though. I know a lot of people thinks she did a horrible job as Laurie Strode, but I think she was fantastic! I loved the remake, I can't wait for this one :)

brandonsl21

I agree I think Annie is a character that should live on for a while longer (maybe through H3) but not a character that is more important than Lauie (Scout) I think Scout done a great job as the NEW Laurie. She would have sucked as the OLD Laurie (Jamie Curtis) so I am glad Rob gave the character a new life and feel. I hope Annie lives through H2 and goes on to be a character in at least H3 and maybe die toward the end of that or something. I am looking forward to the film but am not ampe up yet. Halloween was a little of a let down for me when it came out but it wasn't as bad as a lot of people are saying it was. I didn't mind it so much it was better than 1/2 of the sequels we had and probally a hell of a lot better than what we woudl have gotten after Resurrection if they didn't redo the franchise. I am actually excited to see Friday the 13th coming out in Feb. Then Halloween 2 in Aug. we can see who the real Horror Icon is.

I like Danielle, and I love boobs, but I kinda thought it was a shame She was required to take her top off in order to get a role in the last film. Also WTF is Sheri Moon Zombie going to do in this new film? It shows just how fucking shallow Zombie is as a director to keep giving His wife roles in his films. God knows no one else would. Zombies films are as weak as his music was. Ninteen sixty five-five-five!

If this picks up right where it left of with Danielle cut up and left for dead. It doesn't make much sense for her to have much of a role beyond recovering in a hospital bed.

11:04am, January 5, 2009

This is the best news about the movie I've heard so far. I didn't like the original, and I'm not excited about this movie, but I am a very big fan of Danielle's, so I just might have to check it out to show my support for her.

horrorchick81
11:24am, January 5, 2009

ok that i dont mind if she is in h2. i loved her in halloween four and five. but i still aint seein this. the remake was stuipd i saw it twice. (once on dvd and the other at a hauntedhouse type of deal) and they both wanted to make me fall asleep. only way i would consider seeing this is if it takes place in the hospital like how halloween 2 did and if jamie lee curtis did another cameo but didnt die like how she did in halloween ressurection.

GoliathSlasher
11:31am, January 5, 2009

love danielle, love halloween, i cnat fucking wait! hope shes in it and her and laurie are together this whole film trying to survive, might give this movie some emotion of two best friends fighting for their lives against myers.

I wonder.... Will there be a revelation in this one just like in Carpenters script for H2 i.e Laurie is Michaels Brother... What if Annie is actually BOO....:-)

This is great news. Hopefully her part will be expanded and she won't end up like Rachel in Halloween 5.

Mr. Disgusting, Neither Halloween 4 nor 5 were associated in any way with Dimension Films. I don't even think Dimension was around yet.

12:57pm, January 5, 2009

GREAT TO HEAR THAT SHES IS GOING TO BE IN THE NEW H2! I HOPE SHE DIES IN THIS MOVIE BUT IN A REALLY REALLY DRAMA HORROR SCENE... I MEAN SHE WAS (WHIT LAURIE) THE ONLY SURVIVER OF THE FIRST FILM AND THE SCENE WHEN MICHAEL TORTURE HER IS AWSOME VERY DRAMATIC... I HOPE THAT ROB ZOMBIE MAKE IT MORE DRAMATIC AND IN THE SAME TIME VERY HORRIFING... ALTHOUGH I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE HER IN H3 (IF THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE ONE)

djblack1313
1:12pm, January 5, 2009

i agree w/ GoliathSlasher that it would be very cool to have Laurie & Annie the whole movie fighting as friends, trying to escape/overcome Michael. and for the record i NEVER said Annie was the BEST thing in the movie. i said she was ONE OF THE BEST things! :)

Jonny Horror
1:22pm, January 5, 2009

I think it's important to have all surviving people from the first back in the sequel to continue the story. I agree that paying homage to the hospital setting of the original would be cool. I don't think the nudity was a big deal. She was having sex with her boyfriend when they were confronted so it makes sense that she would be partially nude, just like P.J Soles was in the original.

The White Trash Circle Of Hell is nearing completion. All Zombie needs to do now is set it at a Civil War re-enactment full of drunken Robert E. Lee-enablers and Bob's your inbred, child-molesting uncle.

Hell yeah!I was wondering what happened to her character.Guess we'll find out when the movie opens.

1:50pm, January 5, 2009

I watched the remake and wondered why Danielle Harris wasn't picked to be Laurie instead of Scout Taylor Compton since she is a better actress. I think I wouldn't have hated the remake so much if it wasn't for the 2nd half essentially being the original film crammed into 40 minutes. It gave me no time to even care for any of the characters (even Laurie). The original film should have probably ended with Myers escape from the sanitarium (but have him on a spree inside beforehand). Then have the sequel be the actual remake. That way the characters have time to breathe. And their hack job dialogue made it worse. "SUP BITCHES" "WHAT YOU BITCHES DOING" "BITCH" "BITCH" "BITCH". It was like the writer just culled comments from some dumb 15 year old girl's Myspace page. I would have been all for the remake, if Zombie actually crafted characters we cared about. When the original Laurie is stabbed, falls down the stairs, and is stuck in the house, you care if she lives. When the new Laurie is in peril, you don't give a shit because is is annoying like the real life chicks who won't shut up in the back of the theater. Especially making sexual gestures with a bagel to her mom at breakfast? Seriously? Either way, I hope the storyline here is that Laurie and Annie are both killed at the hospital in the opening sequence, making way for better actors to get stalked and slashed. The only hope here is to make it as mindless and fun as a Friday the 13th movie. Because there is nothing suspenseful about a 7 foot tall dude trying to hide behind trees on the corner of the street.

Halloween 4 & 5 are not Dimension films. They are currently distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment. Dimension didn't start in the series until Halloween 6.

"Wonder what Halloween would be like without Laurie? Just think about the final hour and twenty minutes of Resurrection. Yeah. See my point?" If you want to see a good Halloween movie without Laurie watch part 4. The one with Danielle Harris in, the good one anyway. Unfortunately I find Zombie's version of Laurie kinda boring and Scout isn't the best actress in the world

Scout's annoying as hell. I knew I wouldn't care for her as Laurie when I seen her in Wicked Little Things. After watching Halloween, goddamn, her damn giggles! They are some of the most annoying shit ass fairy-giggles I've EVER heard! Move over, fuckin Michael Myers! Let ME at this bitch!! I was ready to jump through the screen and massacre this bitch.

I'm glad that Danielle is returning, but I think she should have been cast as Laurie in the first place. The new chick...Grates my nerves.

I'm hoping she comes back! I love her.

8:19pm, January 5, 2009

Zombie will bring her back and then kill her within the first 30 minutes of the movie. She was just too fake in the movie. I didn't like the way she acted.

BeforeIForget
8:32pm, January 5, 2009

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if H2 didn't end up being a remake of Halloween 2 as well. It would be interesting if he remade the famous "nurse" scene from the second film with Annie stabbed with the scalpel right in front of Laurie. It would be a nice nod to the sequel.

V0dka4aRussian
8:47pm, January 5, 2009

God yes. But not Annie being stabbed. No no. Annie being laid out in the famous scene with the tube and the blood, where the floor is covered. And Laurie would come in, and slip, and come face to face with someone else who's pretty epic themselves. What i dont get. How the fuck is Loomis coming back? Meyers crushed his head.

MyBlueNovember
11:39pm, January 5, 2009

Ever since I first heard of H2 I was all worried about if she would be back. I was really happy when she lived, so I would be happy to have her back, but like someone else said, not just to see her die in the first 10 minutes, I hope they do something different and more kick butt with her this time, make her stronger.

comfycasket
1:06am, January 6, 2009

Bad news. Her character was extremely annoying, her and linda made me want to scream. I really don't want her back personally.

DBlock
9:26am, January 6, 2009

Ok, so stoked DH is back! However let's think about this. Annie survives multiple stab wounds and going to the hospital no doubt. Laurie and Dr. Loomis will undeniably have to follow for her injuries as well. They can't use the hospital setting for legalities. If going in a different direction than the original than this should not pick up where it left off. Here's why; THE 3 MAIN CHARACTERS ARE ALL IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION! They have to be hospitalized. This should pick up the following Halloween and MM stalks the girl and Loomis is there to stop it yet again. The cast could be widened and not so white trash and that makes for more creative kills. The facyt this story is picking right up where the last ended worries me. It worked in the originals because the obvious setting would be the hospital in a small town with a skeleton crew. Good Luck RZ! I'm still a fan of this reimagining.

awesome she's hot. she never actualy died in the first film so of course she has to come back! that means she can get naked all over again, BRING IT!

Devils Daughter
1:01pm, January 6, 2009

Awsome news! just one thing though, I really don't wanna see Danielle Harris die in a Halloween movie. If anyone survives it has to be her!

Devils Daughter
1:03pm, January 6, 2009

And I agree 100% with ProudtobeUndead, she should have been Laurie in the first place

"If you want to see a good Halloween movie without Laurie watch part 4. The one with Danielle Harris in, the good one anyway. Unfortunately I find Zombie's version of Laurie kinda boring and Scout isn't the best actress in the world." I've seen Halloween 4 obviously. I just disagree with the fanboy mandate that it's good. Halloween is about Michael and Laurie. His interest in Jamie, or whatever his niece's name was, felt forced.

8:08pm, January 6, 2009

Screw having Danielle back (Though I do like her). Bring back her father, so Chucky and Mikey can duke it out...Sorta. Ha ha, one can dream!

Friday Part 7 Rules!!
2:22am, January 10, 2009

Glad to hear Danielle is/might be back. And like many on here- PLEASE do not show her naked!! That was pathetic and really shows Rob's perverted personality. She had become so beloved as a child actor from previous MM films and now he wants to show her naked as an adult? That was sick. Scout and her version of Laurie were annoying!! I wanted MM to freakin kill her just to have her shut the hell up. DAMN!! Scout openly bashed JLC's Laurie in interviews. Well Ms. Thing- at least JLC can ACT. She deserved to be called an actress even then. You do NOT. No offense Scout fans. We all have our opinions. *SMILE*
