Theres way too many "genre icons" in this film. Makes me think its not going to have any sort of real suspense. How can a viewer possibly get into a story when every 5 min another icon comes along to remind us of every other movie?

The script is gonna need a SERIOUS overhaul before this thing will satisfy anyone much less fans of the original.

Who's next in this over-bloated cast, David Spade & Adam Sandler???

Mmmmmmm I hope they keep the original theme score... I'm still bummed about not wrapping up the original series before getting into remakes/reinventions etc. i was so pumped for halloween 9 and 10's plans to tie up loose ends... i mean rob zombie's film just might be good... but it doesn't change the fact it stopped the other sequels from being made.

Michael Myers: "I put that on my momma, I'ma ride for you Baby Boo"

I'm kinda with Brian on the suspense thing. Though I do like the past horror stars that he has cast in this remake/prequel, my concern lies with the suspense. However I am not saying that I doubt this project. I just hope that he concentrates on suspence. People seem to be worried about a lot of acid visuals because of 1000 Corpses, but given the turn around style of Rejects, I think he will manage to adapt to Halloween just fine.

Too many "genre icons" to those who consider themselves genre-savvy - but for "everyone else," it's not gonna matter.

r.i.p. bam bam bigelow

I think the actor's involved will do a good job. There's alot of experience there. What's truly important for this film to work will be pace, mood, suspense, and the musical score which worked so well in the orignal. I think RZ's idea about exploring Michael's upbringing is important. It's a territory that's untapped. We already know what it's like leaving his past a mystery. I think that introducing new details to the plot will kick start the franchise. Let's face it, other than the original and Halloween II(decent, but not great), the sequels have been god awful. Even going into supernatural territory and satanic cults were BAD ideas.Michael had been shot and stabbed so may times, he was becoming Freddy Krueger and Jason. Keeping him real, with human qualities will make him scary again. Leave the fantasy shit out of it. I for one am rooting for RZ to make it a new classic.

Adrienne B.?,That's pretty cool. I think Rob (what kinda last name is Zombie anyway...Lithuwanian??)might surprise us after all. Suspense and no "white trash" stuff. MacDowell as well....they wouldn't possibly agree if...

it is truly great they chose adrienne to bu in new halloween movies and i hope that they willannonce the actress that wiil play larie strode.

who are they gonna play thow lol??? Anyways this movie is gonna kick ass. defenatly cant wait any longer.

eww i dont like that kid that was in spy kids. i hope michael kills him very violently lol. anyways besides that spy kids guy, more good choices for this movie. cant wait.
