The movie will start in 1978 and will pick up in 2005 where Myers escapes.

I gotta admit that both these photos say something to me. The grizzled Loomis versus the carefree trio could be a useful contradiction to the story. These pics do look great. I guess the HH stands for Haddonfield High on the jacket, putting the setting more in line with the cold of the fall over the casual of Spring in Pasedena, 1978 style. What the f#ck with Mickey Dolenz. If I hear 'Daydream Believer' anywhere in this piece of crap there's gonna be serious misery to go around.....

that's a lie. the movie will start in 1978 with little Michael Myers and his history and then it'll be 1995 when Michael escapes from Smith's Grove Sanitarium.

Well while I can't say I wasn't excited to see the Myers pics, and the Loomis shot is cool, I really feel the picture of the girls puts to rest one of the bigger fears that good old Scout was gonna look like she was rocking it with members of a sorority unstead of fellow high schools students. They all look close enough in age to me, and its not like she couldn't be a freshman hanging with seniors. It would almost help things if they were a couple grades ahead and would remember the original murders a bit more than Laurie, and were able to provide her with a bit of a ghost story type recap upon hearing of the escape. It would be a good way to get her subconciously thinking of Michael, similar to the hedge scene and backyard scenes in the first. Plus, you have to figure that since this is taking place in the 90's there is going to be more of a media factor here. Anyone who thinks that a mental hospital break out by a vicious murder on or near Halloween would not be one of the biggest stories in town, then idk what to tell you. I think it's one of the aspects of the settings, along with the general hulking dimensions of Tyler which will make any daytime interaction seem a bit of a stretch, so any device they can use to put Myers in the back of her head is worth a bit of exploration. BTW, the Daydream Believer comment below made me wonder if anyone has heard about soundtrack choices for the film? One of the best improvements for DR was the soundtrack and the way it worked with the film, and they do have the Don't Fear the Reaper scene to top at the least. We know the score is back, at least for the most part, and hopefully Zombie can resist the temptation to "improve" upon that too much.

I was wondering when this movie is supposed to take place... Anyway, Loomis looks brilliant. I have to admit I didn't like him origianlly but if this pic says anything, I'll be pleased. :) As for the girls, they look a bit gina-ish but pictures do lie. I think Laurie looks a bit too creative. Her clothes should be plainer. The girl on the right seems too tall... The jackets provide a nice touch though. But probably the thing that's bother me the most is how they look age-wise. They actually look like 17-year-olds, which *should* be a good thing, but I dunno... I wonder if this movie really will come out in August. It seems really silly if it does since Halloween is only 2 months away and despite SAW, it should have a potential.

Malcolm McDowell looks perfect as Loomis. He's a great actor as well and will do the part justice. I was really surprised by the trio. It really captures that high school girl innocence. They really look the part. Laurie with the glasses is a nice touch.

the new laurie,annie, and lynda look freaken awsome together. they all looks the same age which is good. i knew malcolm would make a good dr loomis from the start, but i didnt imagine this good. every bit of news just gets me more and more hyped for this movie!!

So we've got the shy bookworm in spectacles, and the "slutty" one in a short skirt? Wow, any more stereotypes you want to try aiming for, Rob? Do you think your audience is so dumb that these character traits have to be signposted in such an obvious manner? On the plus side of things, Loomis looks cool; much better than I was anticipating. I'm doubtful of just why we need to have a scene showing us Loomis buying his gun, though. What's the point of that? Maybe we need a scene explaining just how he came by his trenchcoat, too. And those shoes; those comfortable, comfortable shoes. Maybe we could fit in another celebrity cameo as a shoe-salesperson?

In case it slipped your mind the same stereotypical character traits were in place for the first place: Laurie - Shy bookworm. Linda - Dingbat slut. Annie - Daddys not so good girl. Did we watch the same movie about 100 times each?

In addition, a note on the Loomis gun scene. I don't wanna appear as RZ's guardian angel who defends his every decision, but if you think about it it could work. As a doctor, Loomis is generally trying to help people, save them, not shoot them. When Myers escapes, Loomis is one of the only people who realize exactly what needs to be done here, and I'm sure there is a huge feeling of failure on his part. Just the fact that he buys the gun acknowledges that things have reached another level, in both their relationship and his own moral boundries. It has the potential to be a powerful scene where Loomis comes to terms with his failure and what needs to be done to right the situation.

LongJohnny99, did you misread my words intentionally or something? Of *course* those character traits were there in the original - but Carpenter wasn't such a hackneyed director that he had to physically signpost those traits by giving Laurie glasses and sticking Linda in a tiny skirt in comparison with her friends. He was a good enough writer and director to let the characters' words speak for themselves. We learned what kinds of girls they were by how they acted, not by lazy visual aids such as "spectacles=bookworm". Did we watch the same movie? Apparently not.

So the new Loomis only realises he's failed just as Myers escapes? That's a bit rubbish in comparison with the original Loomis, then. He'd come to terms with his failure years ago, and had spent several years trying to keep Myers incarcerated, and warning people how dangerous he was. This new Loomis doesn't sound like much of a psychiatrist if he couldn't spot that a 7-foot tall guy who can barely contain his anger even after a period of 20 years might be a lost cause. Take away Loomis's wariness and fear of Myers, and you haven't got much left, IMO. He becomes a Van Helsing who doesn't believe in vampires until one's actually biting him on the neck. And you lose that powerful scene between Loomis and Brackett at the Myers house.

Lord, did you go to high school? They look like regular people, and I'm not gonna argue if they want to stick the hot blonde in a mini skirt. Honestly, Scout is so smoking the glasses are probaly needed just to make her look a bit more bookish. Hey, we all have our own opinion, I'm just saying (as a semi-intelligent person) that I don't feel to by the photo. And since we have no clue what the final script will say, it remains to be seen if the clothes are the extent of the character development here. From some of the crappy things I've heard the Halloween remake portion of the flick might not leave much room for things like development through dialog lol!

OK as its 3 in the morning you got me on the timing of Loomis's realization of failure; obviously it would come before but I still feel his escape escalates what Loomis is willing to do to stop him, and I don't think you need (or can) loose the scene with the Sherrif in the Myers house. The scene centered around the monologe and the laugh when he pulls the gun and says he has a permit. As long as hes not whipping it out previously the scene still works.

My gosh.. the movie bashing will never stop i guese.. some people will just find any little thing to bash a movie. now someones bashing the movie now because of glasses? bahaha how ridiculuse, what next some one is gonna bash the movie because dr loomis looks like he has a hickie on his neck on the picture?......

agreed. The bashing and flaming of this movie will never stop, i've come to the conclusion that i'm wasting my typing fingers on certain people who insist on trashing things they know nothing about. Anyhow, i think Loomis looks great, i can see that as a believable character, the girls look great too, As mentioned, Laurie does look far too hot, even with the glasses, but hey, who cares, it's not her looks that count, it's how she can act when Myers begins his reign of terror.....

What's the difference between somebody bashing the movie based on a little info, and you mooks over-praising it based on a few pictures?? NO DIFFERENCE!!! Non. The sycophants are as bad as the bashers. You morons who are trying to demonize those who really doubt this movie are pissing up a rope. You make yourselves sound stupid. If somebody didn't like Zombie's other movies, or like his music, or like the details they have heard about this movie, logically, they are going to question this movie. The choices Zombie is making all will add up to make the final movie. If you don't like some or all of the choices then, again.....it's logic. Don't say "you know nothing about this movie!!" NEITHER DO YOU, yet you are jizzing all over yourselves in prais e of the guy. How is that better?? I'll tell you how: not at all. Whether you judge thus garbage or genius 6 months before you see it, it doesn't matter. It's ALL THE SAME CRAP. get the fuck off of your high horses and think.

Mmmm, sexy babes. I wish Loomis would be been bald but .. what the hell.

Btw - is that fake beard on McDowell? Looks like it.

Wow, "Shrimpton", you sure put some people in their places! How dare they express their positive feelings toward what they've seen so far?!?!?! I'll tell you the difference, friend, between the "sycophants" and the haters. The difference is that the people who are excited about what they've seen so far are keeping an OPEN MIND. While some may have decided from the get-go that they will like the movie without knowing anything about it beyond the director's previous body of work, most are genuinely reacting to the various news items as they leak out. If the film does turn out to suck, most of the people who are looking forward to it will admit as much once they've seen it. The haters, on the other hand, have shown no willingness to even give the movie a chance, and appear unlikely to even begrudgingly give it any credit even if it turns out fantastic. It's the cynical, smartass, reactionary horseshit that makes the haters so unpleasant and earns them so much ire from those with a more positive outlook. Every little detail that leaks out draws a barrage of bitching from the pessimists, and much of that bitching defies any logic or common sense. These people are dead-set against this film and will not like it no matter what. How do you expect those who are looking forward to the movie to react to them? After all, one can't say one good thing about Zombie or the film without being called a "sycophant". Do unto others, and such. If you and the haters would calm down and "think", as you put it, before you post, you might not catch so much grief.

Oh yeah... the other important difference between the haters and the "sycophants" is that the haters won't admit that they'll be there to see the film in August anyway, no matter how much they bitch.

McDowell looks good as Dr.Loomis. can't wait until the movie is actually released.

The photo of dr lommis and laurie strode look cool.

It's funny watching how most people can't seem to answer back without the need for insults or cussing, what intelligence. It's also laughable how you seem to miss the valuable points - those who actuallypost on the pictures saying that 'they look good' does not equate to them saying 'oh look, these pictures look so great, that must mean it's going to be a great movie' As i've said countless times now - nobody knows what this film will be like, but really, what's the point in people coming on here and wasting there time with the hating? if you've no damn interest in this movie, then go litter another moviethread with your pointless rantings.

It's funny how you constantly return here and spout your superior fanboy perspective on ROB saving this franchise but again you still have not answerred one of my questions.....not one. After I've laid the gauntlet down for your superior intellect to disporve me, you conveniently disappear for a week, as if we will forget. If anything I've said about ROB's qualifications is false, then disprove me. Don't b%tch and moan about how you're done "wasting" your time trying to convince others of the infallibilities of your opinions. Don't whine incessantly about feeling offended. Answer the questions. You will fail once again because you can't. Your adolescent superiority about 'haters' grows tiresome, as well. BTW these pics look pretty good so I gotta be fair to Bobby about that. Johnny and P.W. you are both exempt from this little skirmish. To my other little friend, I'm waiting.....

Sorry to interrupt.I'll borrow a popular phrase from the early 90's, "Can't we all just get along"? As Sauron and I have proven, other than entertaining the readers of this message board, the verbal warfare accomplished nothing other than 2 people who love the same movie, but see the remake from opposite ends. I have no problem with the haters that use common sense in defending thier opinions. But there are those who shall remain nameless, that are truly ignorant. That goes for RZ lovers to. I think it's fair to say that most of us on this board, all share the same love and appreciation for one of the greatest horror films of all time. This remake is obviously a touchy subject for most. Were split with those who never want to see this remade, and those who accept the sign of the times and would rather roll the dice on a new beginning, than another crappy continuation to a series, let's face it, was left on life support after the last few installments. How many more gun shot's, stabbings, burning's can Michael take ? It was getting ridiculous. By the way, I'm thinking of changing my blog name to Dr.Phil. (just kidding).

Me?

Sauron. Get over yourself. You demand answers from people like your some kind of overlord concerning this production, ever get the impression that people are getting tired of your rants? As i've stated CLEARLY before, i care not for Robs credentials as a film maker, or your number crunching stats about box office intakes, the point you are oh so sadly missing is the fact that fans want to see the return of Michael Myers, not the return of Saurons petty little statitstic show. I mean, who are you trying to kid? you come here with your poor superiroity complex and your serious issues with those who disagree with you and try to come across as the guy wearing the white hat, pshhh. Please. And again, your weakness lies in your inability to read previous posts, nobody stated Rob was saving any franchise, where you get these comments from is beyond me. Heh as for disapearing for a week, sorry chief, i do have other things to do besides jumping on the internet bandwagon........ hmmm, any more points i should address, oh yes, my 'superior intellect' whoops, another foul smelling stain of a comment that you've counjered up from no-where, again, i've claimed to know, no more than anyone else, i've just added my two cents that those who come here hating can't even begin to judge for the most obvious of reasons, just as those who predict this flick will be awesome have no ground to stand on, jesus, is that so much of a complicated statement for you to understand? Or do i have to result to sarcasm (Whoops) or insults for you to grasp this premise. That's the bottom line. You do indeed bore me now, i shall continue to post here regardless of whatever feedback or negative excrement you choose to retaliate with, as i'm almost certain you will, people like yourself cannot resist. Ignorance of your future comments will indeed be bliss.

Sorry, didn't read the last part, Sauron.

Here-Here, Johnny. Very well said. I too had my share of issues with Sauron, but have come to a truce after sharing your thoughts. We all have a right to an opinion and not all will agree, but we can all agree that...if we didn't love the original, we would not be this passionate about Zombie's movie whichever side you lean towards. Right, Sauron? One thing for sure...I will see almost all of you at a theater in August. Then we can all come back and say, I told you so! depending on if it is good or bad.

Once again, someone who can't back up their point getting testy and tiresome when we don't just bow down and accept their opinion as gospel. Again you failed to address or answer my questions but instead try to hide behind your weak-a$s blame deflection tactics. For the record, I do believe that YOU were the first to denigrate 'haters' as whiners and complainers. For the record. Since 'haters' don't agree with your opinion they (we) were subject to your sad attempts at ridicule. However, I've given you a challenge, which for the record, you've avoided repeatedly because you know that the answers to my questions will prove that you indeed like to talk smack about things that you know very little about. Since you were the one to call out the 'haters' (ie people who don't 100% agree with your blind fanboy love of all things ROB) then you should be able to back up your position. Me thinks you should be able to back yourself up before attempting to talk sh#t.....For the record, I've complimented ROB when necessary and generally refer from one-to-one personal confrontations unless the other party attempts to get cute first. You wanna talk out of your a$s, now back it up.....

Johnny (and PW) just to clarify in order to maintain the peace..... the fact is that I have refrained from individual verbal attacks on other posters until I see someone attempting to stick it to those who don't agree with ROB's direction. However, once someone tries to sneak in a snide or in some cases stupid remark or attack about how 'haters' are ruining the sanctity of this project then it becomes war. And yes, I can be a loud and abusive opponent. Such is the cost of doing business. As has been the case previously, my hatred (and it can be extreme)has been concentrated solely towards all things ROB because of my unabashed love of Carpenter's original. What my other friend fails to grasp is that if you start sh#t trying to be cute you better be able to back it up or face the inevitable barrage.

It just keeps getting better and better. To all the haters: come 8/31...you will all be kissing Rob's ass. Nuff said

So damn sweet, i think it will turn out to be a real awesome time at the movies, real story driven!

I went to the old and new Myers house today and here are some recent pics of the house (which has the Strode Realty Sign already on it). <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/scottsanto s93/IMG_2995_edited.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/scottsanto s93/IMG_2993_edited.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/scottsanto s93/IMG_3005_edited.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>

scott.. the comment space here doesnt support picture.. so why dont you just past a link to the pictures....

I went to the new Myers house on Friday and found out that the address to the actual house is: 1132 Glendon Way, South Pasadena, CA I checked on Google Earth and sure enough, that was the address. It is about 2 or 3 blocks from the front of the old Myers house.

well here is the URL to the pics: http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/scottsant os93/IMG_3005_edited.jpg http://i157.photobucket.c om/albums/t66/scottsantos93/IMG_2995_edited.jpg ht tp://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/scottsantos93/IMG_3005 _edited.jpg

One thing that I could glean from these last 4 images is a possibility in the plot. Myers destroyed childhood contrasted with the freewheeling innocence displyed in the trio pic contrasted with the world-weary Loomis who inevitably has to end the cycle of misery perpetuated on and by Michael. The grizzled Loomis whose seen too much unfairness and unjust misery in the world culminating in the manifestation of anger in Michael as this one night brings to a head the contrast between the three elements. It would be interesting (still not worthy of the original, but interesting nonetheless) Where Mickey Dolenz would fit into this I have absolutely no f---ing clue.....Just musing.....

LongJohnny99, you make me smile with your "Lord, did you go to high school?" comment - because that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw that you had difficulty spelling simple words like 'lose' and 'monologue'. There, now that we've traded a childish insult with one another, perhaps we can move past this? :)

(jkrouskop: "I'll tell you the difference, friend, between the "sycophants" and the haters. The difference is that the people who are excited about what they've seen so far are keeping an OPEN MIND") - so, presumably, you would also have had an open mind if the 'Resurrection' script had leaked, revealing how Busta Rhymes would defeat Myers with kung fu? I'd say that the main difference between the 'sycophants' and the 'haters' is that the former is endlessly pessimistic, while the latter has learned from disappointment after disappointment, regarding remakes. It's got nothing to do with "having an open mind", as we're repeatedly told - it's all about learning from past experience. The people who don't learn from the past, when that past is 90% negative, are setting themselves up for disappointment time and time again. We're not 'haters' - we're realists. We've come to expect that 90% of remakes will suck the big one.

daveberg, did it ever occur to you that "those who come here hating" *are* the very "fans want to see the return of Michael Myers" you refer to? Despite some people trying to dismiss our opinions by labeling us with the pejorative label of 'hater', I'd just like to opine that the people with objections to Zombie's handling of this project *do* want to see the return of Michael Myers. And I think that's the main difference between the two camps: One side seems content to have anything that wears a Michael Myers mask up on the big screen, whereas the people on the other side see nothing in common between the Michael Myers of old and this new take on the character. I'd be interested in knowing what's convinced you that this new guy-in-a-mask is that very same Michael Myers you claim to want to return to the big screen? I see nothing in this new Myers that even remotely resembles the Shape. (P.S. - Obviously I meant to type 'optimistic' rather than 'pessimistic' in my last comment to jkrouskop; I apologise for any confusion caused :))

i'm not interested in seeing a carbon copy of Myers, i'm more interested in seeing how Zombie will portray him, something new yet familular in the same line, we all know how stale the sequels got, i'm just expanding my range of thought to allow a little change, coz let's face it, i assume there will be huge changes to bring Halloween into the fray to please todays audiences, as a massive fan of the original, i'm willing to step aside and leave alone the comparrisons as best i can, even though it's extremely difficult. As far as the pictures go, Loomis has some potential, appearance wise he doesn't look to far off the spot (Comparing again, damm it!) the girls are total eye candy really, but like i said before, as long as they can act, they can look as good as they want.

I think the remake is a waste of time. I think Rob should've just made Halloween Retribution instead of this remake. I'm one of the biggest Halloween fans around. I just don't see why Rob is wasting our time with a remake. As far as the movie goes I will be there opening night. I will be buying the DVD when it comes out. I'm not hating on the remake I'm really looking forward to it. I just don't want it to be disgusting and degrading to Michael and the series. Rob should at least respect that. I hope after this remake they will return to Halloween Retribution and continue on with the series. They should at least make two more sequels for the series. I'm working on my version of Halloween Retribution and will be presenting it soon to my agent. It ties in all the loose ends and I hope it is well liked and looked at. (IT WILL NOT DISSAPPOINT ANY HALLOWEEN FAN)

I'll go on record and say this remake will be better than any of the crappy sequels,(except #2). I have no reason to support my claim,just that it will not be worse than what's been put out. No offense to those who like them, It's my opinion, but I don't EVER want to see HALLOWEEN 9, 10, 11, etc. That series is so dead, uninteresting, non scary,and silly. As I've said, I'll roll the dice with RZ's version, good or bad, than watch another watered down laughable sequel.

Michael Myers is overrated! I'm quite a huge John Carpenter fan myself, and I think past what Carpenter did, the rest were close to garbage. Mikey should have never made it past Halloween III (which was hands down the best sequel, and it didn't even have Myers). I'm half disappointed, yet half excited with Rob Zombie talking this project. I am very intrigued to see what Zombie's going to do with the story, but I would have rather seen something new from him. I'm sick to death of remakes and sequels. It's killing the horror movie. All the original ideas suck the rectum of a dead nun because everyone capable of writing good original movies is off making a damn remake or a sequel to a movie that sucked anyway. Do we really need a Wrong Way 2 or another friggin I Know What You Did? Plus, could we leave some movies alone! THe new Near Dark has really got me heated because who are they ever going to find to be half as good as Bill Paxton? Anyway, I hope this movie kicks my ass to Toledo, because if it doesn't I'm just going to wonder what great Zombie movie we all missed out on while he was doing yet another remake.

Wow is this board full of whiners, get a clue? Anyways, im looking forward to this film, because its kind of a remake and kind of not, Rob has taken the story of michael and made it his own so its going to be fun seeing his image of michael on film, can't wait!

MMO...like i said it was 3 in the morning and I'm fairly sure that forum posts on fanboy websites are exempt from most criticism. At least I tried to do something besides bitch about RZ, the lovers, the haters, etc. The only reason I'm even posting on this site, about a fucking horror movie, is because I'm so excited to see a Halloween movie that looks to be satisfactory to me, not just a worthless piece of shit featuring a charachter we are all a big fan of. So, until this ship sails I'll be around and if you have nothing better to do than post petty responses to legitimate comments, that's fine. Perhaps, in your infinite wisdom, you could even teach me to type a proper forum post that does not offend your delicate eyes...I'll just enjoy the scoop and pictures, thanks. Good day, sir.

You know, MMO, not that you care but I did not read your post all the way through. Honestly, I just want to discuss the movie with others who are passionate about it too, so there was no need to be snarky in my comments. And I certainly don't want to argue endlessly with some faceless person I will likely never meet. Please take the other post within this context, and know that the white flag is waving from my trench. Selah!

'Haters:' Unite! I see that my questions will not be answerred anytime soon. Great. You've just shown us how much to respect your enlightened opinion. Love it when you talk endless amounts of sh#t out of your a$s and then run in mock offense when challenged. So, as long as we know where you stand.....you will talk endlessly about subjects that you know nothing about, you can't support one of your arguements, and you are afraid to attempt to back up the veracity of your claims......But that's fine. A relief from your blind fanboy love of all things ROB is most welcome.

Thats not really what I expected. They look much different then the average high schooler. Laurie doesn't really look like Laurie and Dr. Loomis I won't even go on with that.

It is fun reading what people are writing. I don't think anyone can judge anything until they see the movie. The girls look like typical high school girls and Malcom looks great. The original girls from Halloween looked like they were in their 20's. We are so tuned in to the original movie that it is not allowing some of us to think out of the box on this one. We have to detach and think of this movie in the perspective of the way it is being made. It if is true to the original or at least the sentiment of the orginal, it should be a good movie, if not, well... Anyhow, we WILL find out! Just remember, 1978 is over and a new movie is being re-made with new people in it. We have to realize things will not look the same as it did back then. Even the innocence of the 70's is gone so this one may have to be much darker to be in tune with the way people think today. The original Halloween is nothing less than supurb. It can not be duplicated, however, it can be re-done. That is the mindset we need when we watch it. Quit taking sides and find out what the movie is really like when it comes out. I guess thats all I have...

very very well said alamyersfan!!!

Good casting if I may say so myself. I'm really digging Laurie. It looks like her as well as Linda. Annie could've been better but She'll do.

Shrimpton, you're a douche

It is cool to have a Halloween vet play Annie. I think Danielle Harris looks very young. I think she fits the part well. I think she will take her part to heart since she was in a couple of the sequels. She would've been in H6 but the powers that be wanted to pay her as a second rate character so she opted out.

daveberg, you're "not interested in seeing a carbon copy of Myers, [you're] more interested in seeing how Zombie will portray him"? FYI, Zombie sees Myers as a guy who comes out with redundant dialogue like "What are you going to do with that gun?". Still, at least he's supposedly got rid of the "Boo" line. No, give me the voiceless, emotionless Shape any day of the week. IMO, spending an hour "getting inside the head" of a maskless Myers is the worst remake idea since giving a backstory to Billy in the 'Black Christmas' remake, or expanding on Blake's story in the 'Fog' remake - and we know how well those two turned out...
