ROB ZOMBIE'S HALLOWEEN: DR. LOOMIS CAST!!

You all suspected it after the official casting breakdown was revealed here at B-D a few weeks back, Dr. Loomis has already been cast in Rob Zombie's Halloween remake. Inside you'll find out exactly who will join Sheri Moon, Daeg Faerch (young Michael Myers) and Heather Bowen in the quasi-remake, which hits theaters everywhere August 31st. The casting is official as it comes directly from Rob Zombie's mouth, more news as it comes in. After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, is mistakenly released from the mental institution (where he was committed as a 10 year old) and he immediately returns to Haddonfield, where he wants to find his baby sister, Laurie. Anyone who crosses his path is in mortal danger.


According to the official Halloween MySpace page:
The great Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) has been cast as Dr. Loomis in Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN!

Malcolm McDowell as Sam Loomis? No, I'm not seeing that at all. This remake is going to suck, isn't it?

I am a huge Zombie fan,but his vision for Halloween is not going to work.He's taking away everything that makes the original work.McDowell is a horrible choice for Loomis.

Ellen Page is best choice to play Laurie Strode.

I like McDowell. Sorta. Christopher Walken would have been awesome I think. Oh my God, who am I kidding? MCDOWELL? MCDOWELL? I mean, there's coming out of left-field and then there is just the utterly bizzare. He must of given a kick-ass reading, thats my only hope. Either Christopher Walken and Gary Oldman were my boys to secure this role. And now, as John Lennon once said...the dream is over.

Malcolm McDowell is an excellent choice for Loomis. I could see potential in Malcolm bringing a more sophisticated and darker performance in the Loomis character never before seen in any of the Halloween films. I'm just hoping he has the trademark Loomis beard and baldhead. Long story short, Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN will be a wonderful film. R.I.P Donald Pleasance.

I read the book just after the movie came out and was suprised to learn that there was indeed alot more to the story.And for everyone saying that Malcolm can`t measure up to Donald Pleasance,your gonna see that he is THE best casting decision of everyone involved in the film.August 31st can`t come soon enough for me!
