Positives: McDowell, Harris, Forsythe, Dourif Negatives: Rob Zombie and just about everything else

Brad Dourif is a great addition. Who could forget the character "Billy" from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". I'm liking the cast so far. Solid veteran actors. Most of them have been in some serious big time movies before. That experience will pay off in the acting. Laurie Strode will be a big role, but I think RZ's gonna make a great choice.

Drad Dourif best known as the voice of Chucky? Wow. I always thought it was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Lord of the Rings, or heck, Exorcist III. To say he's best known for a voice-over is a slap in the face to his acting abilities.

Well this *is* a horror related site, I think it's safe to say that he is best known for the Chucky movies when posting news for this audience. I'm sure the author didn't mean anything slap-in-the-face-esque with that post.

gee rob, you think as you keep adding 70's relics to your piece of crap ideas for this movie that it will somehow save it? i feel like every 10 mins there will be someone popping up on screen to divert our attention away from the fact that the movie can't stand on its own. thought you were going to focus on mood, suspense, and atmosphere? not nudity, trash, and inside jokes/winks/nods to 70s films.

Dourif would probably have made a good Loomis, actually. Can't quite see him as a sheriff, unless hes bulked up some. This film is sounding more and more like a joke though. It might even top FALLEN ANGELS for most execrable use of horror "icons" in a film ones supposed to take seriously. Christ, it sounds more like Fangoria is producing a remake of its a mad mad mad mad mad mad mad world than it does someone is making a Halloween film.

marcus P smithers . so I guess you feel the same way about robert englund and his role in nightmare on elm street. Its the same thing

Damn this casting keeps on getting better and better!!!!! I am REALLY pumped up for this movie...this might be one of the best remakes EVER!!!

who's next, Billy Drago? i had faith in this movie until RZ kept reeling in shitty character actors from the 70's and 80's.

...and guest-starring Kane Hodder as sweet little Lindsey Wallace!

zombie stop bringing in these washed up relics...your ideas stink and you can't save yourself hiding behind horror icons past their prime. take a month off and rewrite the script...and lose the hillbilly trash and abuse. also, you might want to lose the 7 foot giant playing michael.

This thing's starting to look like the horror equivalent of "The Love Boat" with all the stunt casting.It's like Zombie thinks we won't notice him raping a classic if we're too busy noticing another genre legend popping up every 2 minutes.

Now if they would only FIRE Zombie and replace him with Argento we might be on to something.BRING ON THE 3rd MOTHER!

i think is great this remake but rob zombie must be include a the number one scream queen jamie lee curtis in other role because she is bigger when michael and she stay together in the big screen

They should make HALLOWEEN an anthology with a different director every year.That way we won't end up with a bunch of retarded sequels to Zombie's already retarded mythology."Dario Argento's Halloween","Clive Barker's Halloween","Quentin Tarantino's...","David Fincher's..."etc.Like an urban legend that's different with each telling.All based on the original film.Good idea?

horrible idea superfry im sorry but thats AWFUl shame on u

Look,they're just going to make a bunch of crappy sequels anyway if this does well.Might as well do something different.

Please let laurie be hot has hell.

C'mon people. Just As I start to have a little faith in you, were still getting serious negative banter. How can you dis the actors so far? Do you not know the work alot of these actors have done ? Do your homework. Who the hell wants to see actors from the O.C.,Dawson's Creek,Buffy, 90210 crap ? No thank's. Jump on board people.

As I said before, finish your book report before you sneak on the family computer to post your serious diluted adolescent understanding. Better yet speed dial "Rob" for another payment so you can parrot the comapny line about "negativity", "the final product", yadda yadda yadda etc. etc. etc. et al Did "Rob promise you a covted spot on his weak a#s myspace page. You must feel special. Certainly the many who've posted LEGITIMATE gripes here can't hold a candle to YOUR understanding.....

DAMN theirs a bunch of cry babys crying about this movie just becuase rob zombie is changing things around. I am actually glad hes changing things around, at least now their will be new things in this movie instead of the shape just walking after his victims... anyways this casting is really awsome. i am sure zombie will make this movie worth its hype. can not wait.

i must admit my man-love for rob. like many, i blindly follow him no matter how bad his ideas are. hey there is a new, impressionable generation out there to scare using hip, MTV style camera tricks, nudity, shock and rock soundtracks, etc. he will make us all proud with this atrocity.

RZ should have gotten Erik Estrada instead.

Sauron is right on with everything hes said. This is going to suck more than anything has sucked before.Zombie is a clueless talentless fanboy. He deosnt love the horror genre and he certainly doesnt understand it. I like a few of the casting choices but nothing will save this abortion of the script. Everyone involved with giving this guy money to make this should be ashamed of themselves.

Whiner's and insult's.It's a joke because your opinions are being made about a movie you have yet to see. You just ASSUME it will be bad. Your a real Ebert & Roeper. If you dislike Rob Zombie, fine, don't see it. But be intelligent and wait for something to have"legitimate gripes" about.How do you know it will be bad? By the way, I'm not a big RZ fan. I thought his first movie sucked, the Devil's Reject's was better. But the movie's being made no matter what. So I'm all for trying a new approach with the script. The sequels have been awful, so take it in a new direction. If it's bad, I'll be the first to say it is.But I do want to like it and I hope it's good. I'm just trying to be positive. You should try it sometime.
