Today we added our interview with Scout Taylor-Compton (the new Laurie Strode) from the set of Rob Zombie's Halloween remake, which had it's trailer debut online yesterday (watch it here). Don't forget to check out our exclusive interview with Hanna Hall (Judith Myers), with an on set report coming next week. 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. Halloween hits theaters August 31.
I think that the new LAURIE STRODE is like a second upcoming scream queen. as long as when i see the movie that her screams will remind me of jamie lee curtis. I want to feel her scream like i felt jamies scream.
Well, I will say this much; For as much sh^t as ROB has taken over the past few months, he seems to be smiling and having fun in all of the photos. Now, to more serious business: Is it me, or did Scout pretty much give away half of the plot spoilers in that interview? You think ROB's tearin his hair out because she's spilling out the goods??? Just some food for conjecture.....
yeah she pretty much told me everything about the movie, i was curious as to if they were gonna have him talk as an adult and i alwyas thought that if they do have him takl then he should be sayin "boo" to add some drama... that i can deal and is it me or does anybody else just wanna beat the shit out of little michael. not for nothin but when i saw the trailer that kid just pisses me off just by his look so if i were his family i wouldnt really talk to the little bastard anyways but thats just me... adult michael looks fuckin sick though.........KENNEDY!
I personally don't put much into what Scout is saying. Sure she is in the movie, but the cast often says something that doesn't add up with what the other said, one says how gory it is, the other says it isn't that gory. One says it's like Rejects the other says it isn't. Adult Michael speaks, then he doesn't speak. Until editing is done even the cast can't say for sure what will happen.
Just like when Rob tried to re-imagine the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and called it House of 1000 Corpses. Wasn't there a movie called House of Seven Corpses? Jesus, can't this asshole do anything ORIGINAL? Zombie obviously can't think for himself in terms of originality... First: If the fans absolutely have to see Michael Myers in action again, then the producers should’ve encouraged the writers and filmmakers to use some of that “creativity” and channel it into a new installment (really starting to hate the word sequel) placing Myers in a fresh, new situation. A re-imagining of a timeless classic is just pure Hollywood money in the bank bullshit, and they have trifled with an icon. Yes, Michael Myers has become an icon. And with Rob Zombie’s name attached to this, it’s sure to generate more than enough buzz to attract a favorable audience. Rob says he’s a fan (of the original) but he sure had a lot to say about test audience’s reactions to an intended ending for Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. Check it out on H25 Twenty-Five-Years of Terror. Rob was bitching about a test audience’s reaction to Curse—a movie that originally deviated from the character from the beginning. So much in fact that they had to practically re-shoot the movie. It wasn’t the producer’s cut that was shown to test audiences; it just had a different ending than the one released theatrically (but here’s hoping for a DVD release of that infamous Producer’s Cut) But obviously—according to Zombie—the test audience didn’t know what they were talking about, so the filmmakers, once again, had to shoot yet another ending for a movie that was already doomed from the beginning. Second: If you were a fan of the original, wouldn’t you try to stay as close as possible to the main character? Sure you can add or subtract, which is what Zombie has done, but you really have to take into consideration just what your adding and taking away. So, Michael can’t drive now. It’s really no skin of my ass. But Rob’s reasoning is that it doesn’t seem likely that Myers would get lessons. Hello, Jackass, Dr. Loomis was being facetious. Couldn’t you hear the sarcasm in his tone? Of course Myers didn’t get lessons. He’s pure evil. Evil can drive. Evil can do whatever the hell it wants to. And does adult masked Michael speak or not? Who the hell knows, Scout-What-The-Hell-Ever sounded like she didn’t even know what was going on—like she hasn’t really been paying attention. Just read the interview. Also, she does give away some of what she thinks is going to be in the flick, which I’m sure has pissed Mr. Zombie-God right the hell off. But alas, the MPAA and the editing room decide what stays and what goes. I must admit, I’m just as hungry to see Myers in action as anyone, but to fuck it up just to re-fresh and re-imagine and re-tool is just plain re-tarded!
That interview was hilarious - jesus, what a ditz! She could hardly comprehend Bloody's questions and she gave away every crucial plot point.
Did she say "micheal Meyer's is really a sweetheart"?
Yes, yes i think she did. I have to go throw-up in my mouth now..
i just wanted to piont out that the new actors arent that hot. like jamie lee wasnt either but her friends were al least blond one now only hot girl is the brunet. well maybe they are good actrors. i dont think MM will talk maybe just that one time to her.like honstly how long can anyone go with out talking any way.the hew ending sounds more dramatic then theold one though. oh could she give anymore of the movie away im surprise she didnt post the script on her myspace.
I AM SO GOING TO BE IN ONE OF THE HALLOWEENS B_CUZZ I AM GOING TO BE AN ACTOR SO I WILL PROBABLY BE IN THE 4TH BE LOOKING FOR DAT!!!
