Laurie Strode Officially Announced for Zombie's 'Halloween'

Scout Taylor-Compton has just destroyed all of the ridiculous rumors and has officially been cast as Laurie Strode in Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween, which hits theaters August 31. She has been in two horror films in the past year, Wicked Little Things and An American Crime, which debuted at Sundance two weeks ago. She joins the all-star cast of Tyler Mane, Malcolm McDowell, Daeg Faerch, Heather Bowen, Pat Skipper, Dee Wallace Stone, Sheri Moon Zombie, William Forsythe, Ken Foree, Danielle Harris, Adrienne Barbeau, Clint Howard, Courtney Gains, Daryl Sabara, Brad Dourif, Udo Kier and Kristina Klebe. Shooting has officially begun in Los Angeles, CA. Watch for more details as they come in, read on for a pic of the new Laurie Strode!


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.

so much for the Innoncent good girl Laurie Strode Looks....Ellen Page was the best choice she had the perfect INNOCENT GOOD GIRL Laurie strode Looks but then again Ellen his busy with filming 2 movies (probably better for her to do those movies then be in a pointless remake).

Wow she looks nothing like all the other cookie cutter whore girls in the other slew of remakes of the past few years. Zombie really has no fucking clue what he's doing.

Wow she is perfect for Laurie Strode. Great choice from Rob Zombie. She sorta has a haunting look in her expression that makes you know that a psychopath is after her.

does it really come out aug. 31? ive heard its coming out in october. also ive heard that Halloween (Hall9ween)is about a film crew and all, are going to make a movie about myers and his home town, when in reality of the movie myers goes back to his home town and he has a new face, it is now white with red blood streaks. so he is walking a round the town and no one has second thoughts when they see him cuz they think he is the actor. he ends up killing the whole film crew. awhile a mob of towns people and cops are trying to find him, the film props and equiptment are still out and in place, the towns people start to wonder what is real and what is not. but also through out the movie there is a secret about his sister and her death. im not to sure if this is true, it might just be a teaser passed along. but i hope it helps give a better piture to the whole new movie.

VILLA. where have you been thats OLD,OLD news. How is it that you know that obscure bit of debunked halloween 9 news yet the fact that rob zombie is directing a remake of the original film has exscaped your grasp?



9:05am, January 28, 2007

I dont liek this chick . she seems to play boy bunnyish. She seems liek the chick you would cast in the movie JUST for a nude scene.

I think she looks very sexy and will be great in the film. rob zombie has proved to be a great film maker and i have complete faith that his version of halloween is going to be a CLASSIC itself.

I don't mean to be cliche but I don't like her all that much. She just seems too young. But I dunno, she'll probably do a good job anyway.

She is truly sexy and i am happy that she is play laurie strode and she is no stranger to horror movies.

I haven't seen her act so I don't know if she is a good choice. But based on looks, she's beautiful and I can see her as a sweet innocent girl. Hopefully she can do a good job ;) No one will ever replace Jamie I think but hopefull the pre/make will atleast be enterttaining.

okay, she's a looker. but what female in hollywood isn't. but i think we can trust rob to not cast a total crap actor in one of the leads

I've never heard of her. She's a looker definately and I'm sure a solid actor or she would not have been cast. According to blabbermouth.net, they start shooting this thing in the morning. I have a hard time with anyone who does not like the actor choices. If you know your movies in general, these people have done some outstanding work in their careers. I think the old school talent is perfect for this project as opposed to the teen crop that is currently popular today. Imagine Lindsay Lohan in this film. Good lord, what a nightmare. So obviously, no matter what is said,good or bad about this film, it's happening. My gut is telling me were gonna be pleasantly surprised with the results. I know there's hater's out there that regardless, will dis the movie. As I've said before, I'll be the first to say it suck's if it does. But will some of you hater's have the balls to admit it's good if in fact it is ?

You people are sheep. Laurie Strode is not supposed to be a 10 out of 10 playboy model. That was the point of the character. Rob Zombie and his remake can go fuck himself.

Um... Jamie Lee Curtis was pretty bangin in her day, and with the standards being set a little lower in the 70's, yeah she was a 10. __________________ J-Syxx 6:40pm, January 28, 2007 You people are sheep.

J-Syxx, Are you kiddin me? So Laurie is supposed to be some homely nedry girl? Jamie Lee Curtis was pretty cute for her time. Did you see what they did to Charlize Theron in "Monster"? If they need to bring her look down a little , DUH, don't you think they are capable of doing that. Get real.

Johnny, you've had your week to elucidate everyone on your magnanimously miniscule grasp of reality. It has taken me that week to correct your little book report and I must say I am greatly amused by your train of logic. You can speed-dial Rob now and tell him I'm back and maybe, just maybe, he'll make you one of his 'special' myspace friends. Heck, you might even get your pic as an avatar at the top of his page as a little reward for your shameless attempts to schill for your little friend. BTW it might be past your bedtime as I write this so be sure to polish up your apple and bring your assignment on time this week.....

Hey, Sauron. Your back. Did you just get back from L.A. protesting the movie? Did you and your ban of Halloween remake hater's shut down production ? Guess not.Great to hear your amused by my train of logic. I also find your responses,insult's and in depth analysis quite humorous.Let me make sure you've kept up to date on what I've said because your beginning to repeat yourself. We get it. You hate Rob Zombie,the script, and the movie has no chance of being good. I am not a big RZ fan as you repeatedly claim I am. I do however, want to see a good horror movie. So why not keep an open mind. Oh, I know, it's adolescent and I've lost my grasp of reality to even think that way. Boy, you got me there. Thank's so much for enlightening me. Hey, welcome back.

Further proof that your knowledge of remedial English is quite suspect and therefore, combined with your aforementioned viewing tastes you probably rank somewhere between sixteen and seventeen years old. First, when conjugating the terms "you" and "are," it's spelled you're not your. Second, I believe the term is band not ban of Halloween remake haters (no apostrophe, take note) As long as you keep thinking you have a clue the longer I'll remain here correcting your little book reports. I'm here for you Jon, really, I am. I wanna see YOU suceed, you're trying so hard.....By the way, if you haven't noticed I don't seem to be the only one around here who thinks the movie's going to suck. Or did you fail to grasp that while furiously attempting to formulate a response.....

if you're the type of person that posts a message only to deride someone's spelling mistakes, particularly when you have that annoying "i'm so smart" attitude, you should make damn sure to keep your own post free of mistakes, otherwise you end up looking like a giant tool... there are two C's in 'succeed'.
