I was never a really big Halloween fan...not saying I didn't like Halloween. But very interested in what Rob can do...and the cast is amazing so far.

That is great news the cast new halloween movies is truly great and i hope to se more great cast.

so why don't they just effin call this devils rejects 2. zombie is ruining the whole halloween series and covering it up by saying it's his reimaging. well he's the douche who said he would never remake a horror classic and here he is 4 years later doing just that. michael myers jacking off to dead animals? this is his halloween? i wonder what movie he watched, heres the scoop. We fans are in a lose lose here, if the movie does bad were gonna have to wait years before we get a sequel to the halloween series we love, if it does good and we know it will because the hallooween name is still running good combined with rob zombies were gonna get sequels to this crap. yea, i admit some good actors in the movie but not any of them fit halloween, obviously with the casting of myers parents he is obviously turning myers family into a TCM type family, and that in it self is bull shit and completely ruins the fact that myers was from a normal family and just snaped one day. on princible i can not watch this movie at the movie theater.

I agree with Jason. Why not call it devils rejects 2? But don't get me wrong zombie has great music but I really don't like his movies too much. I did like devils rejects better then house. I think he is getting better at film making. I am just so glad he didn't change the mask cause that would truely destroy halloween. Although I don't agree with some of his casting decisions, I think he possibly could make a decent movie, who knows we will have to see. I blame george lucas on the whole remake frenzy, ever since he decided to make 3 horrible 9 hour all together piece of crap films that's all hollywood has been doin is remaking every single movie.

I not going to say Im pleased with some of the casting choices, but people need to understand that a ton of directors do the same thing for a lot of their movies. Hell, look at John Carpenter, he used a lot of the same people for the Fog, Escape From NY, and oh yea Halloween.

where the hell did jaking of to animales come from just cuss zombies whore is the mom does not mean she is gonna eat dead people and act loony

"zombie is ruining the whole halloween series"...hmm, i thought that the last two Halloween sequels did a good job of that on their own. At least Rob Zombie wont have Busta Ryhmes kickin' out the kung-fu. As far as I am concerned this franchise was run into the ground YEARS ago, so there is really only room for improvement. It pisses me off that people get all fuckin' butt hurt that the remake may not be 100% like the original, yet they would be happy if they made ANOTHER sequel where Michael Myers is butchering people on a cruise ship or something retarted like that. get your pretentious heads out your asses

I was thinking more along the lines of a crossover remake of 'terror train' as opposed to the cruise ship. Pretense is insulting the entire film industry by having absolutely no formal education in the art of filmaking but using your weaka$s excuse of a celebrity name to land contracts directing crap-on-a-popsiclestick. People pay their dues, legitimately, for years and struggle just to get an iota of respect in the business (witness Peter Jackson) whereas Zombie gets a free pass because MTV promoted his overlyhyped/underlytalented career during the worst period of creativity in the history of rock and roll. Pretense is claiming that you are making the next great horror classic (direct quote from Zombie). Pretense is claiming that you have problems with the vision of one of the most respected horror directors of all time and his masterpiece du jour (and by the way HE went to filmschool) Pretense is claiming that your vision of the greatest horror classic of all time is the way it should have been. Pretense is claiming to "educate" the thousands of fans of the original for twenty five plus years as to why your vision is correct. "Head-up-the-a$s" is the voice of those who have ZERO knowledge or degree of common sense trying to defend this despicably sad attempt to resurrect a long dead franchise.

Dude, i hear ya but really... at least were getting a new Halloween film, and at least were getting something different this time around. I mean, o.k. it's easy to say "Rob Zombie is a gosh darn creep for doing something original to a series which has been dead-in-the-water for over 10 years". Tell me what you would do with the fucking franchise? Another Bust-a-Rymes fight? You don't realize how fucking retarded it sounds bitching about a fucking movie... it's a FUCKING MOVIE. jesus.

rob your vison is terrible. you want to explain everything, you want to give him a terrible bacground, abused and neglected and picked on....that is original? remember halloween is a classic because it is everyday small town america. with a normal suburban setting...good quality wholesome america and then halloween night happens smack dab in the middle of that precious set up. trailer trash, shock, rough and tough doesn't make it scary. you have gotten way too many degrees of separation from the main concept with the whole backstory early years. sounds like you are making devils rejects or natural born killers, bad idea.

Yes, you are right. The series is absolutely dead. Even before H8 it was dead. Busta Rhymes was an absolute comedy routine in a terribly contrived idea. Here's the thing, H6 had pretty good daytime atmosphere and Daniel Farrands had some pretty interesting script ideas that got vetoed by the higher ups (read: Malek et al). The Producer's Cut is FAR FAR superior to the theater version but even that ending blew it in the final 20 minutes as opposed to the original script. Back to the business at hand. You are right that we wont be getting anyother movie unless we swallow (literally and figuratively) this piece of crap. Carpenter while his flame has been long perceived as extinct has flirted with a sequel idea then keeps avoiding it either due to salary conflicts or the desire to just let the original stand on its own. Bottom line just end this thing, remakes, reworks, revisions, retarded creative visions are not going to salvage the Myers name right now. Maybe years down the road something can be done (F13 has seen a recent upswing in popularity though I dont have any impending desire to see Myers on a lunar colony testing the quality control of vacuum hoses) What absolutely pisses me off here is that Rob Zombie is the complete package in terms of stupidity. We have a below substandard musician (yeah, yeah) who runs around society prophesying about his stupid little "the world doesn't understand me, I am not the light, evil rules etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum" and comes off with every utterance out of his mouth about "reinventing a horror classic", "correcting inconsistancies and things that don't sit right in the original" and so on and so on. Zombie never paid his dues, has absolutely NO, ZERO, NONE creative vision but yet comes off like his word is gospel and HE will usher in the new era of the franchise. Puh-leeze. PPUUHH-LLEEEEZZEE. So while I respect your opinion, which is saying a lot comparde to others who've posted in the past, and you DO make some valid points, this whole thing is setting up to be another disaster. Plus the fact that Zombie makes me want to vomit evereytime he saunters onto MTV w his fake tougha$s demeanor complaining about just about every sociallly established tradition. As I said before, set the da%n thing in Haverhill and we can call it the RobZombie story and wrap it up in a nice little hallmark tv moment.

I think everybody is jumping the gun by assuming just because Zombie's previous films have been in some ways over-the-top, that he is incapable of creating genuine suspense and atmosphere reminsiscent of Carpenter's original Halloween. Take the scene in "House of 1,000 Corpses" for instance when the sherrif waits in terror for the trigger to be pulled on him, and the camera pulls away slowly, languidly, toying with audiences' anticipation of when the blow will come. Zombie has a deft hand at directing, and I think he will inject the franchise with a much-needed shot in the arm of vitality and ingenuity. Who really wants a DIRECT remake anyways? Look at Van Sant's Psycho remake!

i think that the new michael myers remake will be a great movie as the director(rob zombie)is making it and ive watched both house of 1000 corpses and devils rejects they were awesome :) and is brad dourif making an appearance?
