Hate it or Love it, Rob Zombie's 'Halloween' Shoots

Seriously, I'm already sick of talking about Rob Zombie's Halloween, but what are you gonna do? Suck it up and keep on trucking I guess. Today Fangoria reported that the film has begun shooting out and about in Los Angeles, while we've personally heard that they're just doing some FX shots with the actual shoot being pushed to February (like we originally reported). They also report that protesters have been spotted on Sunset Blvd wielding signs that Zombie was "raping" a classic. The protesters seem to be everywhere, including this MySpace page here. But any fans looking for official word can count on Zombie to update via the official MySpace page. Michael Myers is slated to stalk out his victims one again on August 31st.

The Official Fansite of Sheri Moon Zombie announced that filming was beginning last weekend about a week ago. No one really listened, but shooting is underway.

Regardless of what anyone thinks, the movie is happening. This whole Halloween debacle is similar to Daniel Craig's situation. However, in the end it made millions. Guess we'll just have to see if Halloween has the same fate...

I'm seriously getting tired of people bitching and crying because some of us (not talking about Protestors) are against this Remake...GET over it! those smart people are more quiet but they know that a remake is pointless, smart Protestors will know the perfect time to Protest its when the movie comes out in Theater by not going!!

Halloween is pretty much my favorite movie of all time. and to see it be ripped apart peice by peice is sad. i do like that zombie is stepping out of the box, but theres a limit.

- michael has a stripper mom: true - an abusive step father figure: wrong - his sister judith who has sex with the step father: wrong - and they live in a trailer: wrong - the father torments little michael by telling him he does his mother: wrong - calling him a little faggot: true Wow, "Jack Bauer's Wife" - four outta six wrong. Want to speculate some more without having seen the film?

i read the script review and this movie sounds awful, almost made up. my little sister could probably come up with better ideas than this.

Yep. Of course it's being shot. Like all the "this is gonna suck " talk was gonna stop it. So now what do we argue about? I'm still keeping an open mind that it COULD be good. Let me say to all the Hollywood insider's and psychic's that forsee the future of this movie. Take a deep breath.Relax. It's coming, but YOU have a choice to not see it. So there you go, problem solved. Yeah, yeah, I've heard it already, Rob Zombie fanboy, your not really a fan, whatever. Fact is, I own 8 copies of the original HALLOWEEN on vhs or dvd in every possible format. I was not happy when I heard it was being remade. But it is, I accept that. So I'm hoping for the best. But I will not get that this version will hurt the rep of the original. REALLY!! ARE YOU SERIOUS? Because i can put that on anytime I want like anyone else can. Did you think the shitty sequels ruined the original ? Way more than a remake will.

Sure, let's discuss the motive; but firstly, why ask? of course we would like to discuss the film "we haven't" seen - because actually, we have seen it, and we loved it... So get there's a clue as to why your hearing so much bullshit over this. It just doesn't add to me, but I liked your other 2 flicks so... Anyway, back to motive, Mike needn't have one. Mike needn't explain himself neither. Mike's a phantom, a 'shape'... that's what makes a scrawny, 5 ft 10' guy so scary... but whatever

While everyone complains about Michael talking and stuff, I think the dumbest thing I heard is that Michael lets out an entire mental facility. I guess Michael has a big ol heart!

Given Dimension's penchant for meddling with their films pre/during/post production I think it's safe to say that Zombie's vision has little chance of making it to the screen as he intends it.That's the way Dimension/Miramax works.Anybody remember Kevin Yagher's experience with them on HELLRAISER:BLOODLINE causing him to remove his name from the film?Or the tampering with HALLOWEEN 6?Those are only 2 examples of many and there wasn't even a FRACTION of the backlash for those films that the is for this.There are already reports of Zombie having to do rewrites,hence the release date/production delay.I just hope that for ONCE they listen to the fans of HALLOWEEN and not some idiot producers arbitrary whims or the Zombabies who would defend any excrement Rob feels like crapping out.Sorry Zombabies,it's probably a lose/lose scenario for you too.

you're forgetting also "Wes Craven's Cursed" which Dimension asked him to reshoot the movie a 2nd time.

THE SCRIPT THAT IS OVER ONLINE IS AN "EARLY DRAFT" OF THE FILM AND IT MAY NOT BE THE FINAL SHOOTING DRAFT OF THE FILM. Whether or whether not this is true, the film is still happening. I was disgusted with Zombie's vision and the things I read in the Halloween Script. Michael Myers speaking, running, and clobbering victims like a wrestler. What is even worse is Michael's backstory and his trashy upbringing as a child. Michael Myers is "something" you cannot explain, he is pure evil. But, giving him a backstory such as a young psycho killing animals is nothing more than just a serial killer behind a mask. He is not special anymore. After giving it much thought on Rob Zombie's take of the film it kind of grew on me and I think a 360 degree turn of the original film would be a refreshing start. Maybe we are ready to see a more verocious and disturbing Michael Myers character. Plus, the slow moving, mute and unemotional Michael Myers is kind of getting boring in the sequals. i dont know how Zombie will have Michael talk, but it would be interesting. Hate it or love it, I think Rob Zombie's Halloween is going to be great.
