Today writer/director Rob Zombie posted a monster-sized still of Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) from his upcoming remake of Halloween, which hits theaters August 31. Zombie's vision of this film is an entirely new take on the legend and will satisfy fans of the classic "Halloween" legacy while beginning a new chapter in the Michael Myers saga. This is a bit of a prequel and a remake, combined. Read on for the still.

But seriously, read the time magazine (ever think they'd be doing a story based on the eighth sequel in a 30 year old horror franchise???) piece that just surfaced this week. Of particular interest is the part insinuating that Loomis is a star-on-the-rise Machiavellian huckster whose quest for fame turns Myers "abused innocence" into the shape we know and love today. Has it really come down to this? Are we really so desperate for new material that we are gonna accept Myers as the childlike innocent turned into the boogeyman by an evil, scummy Loomis? Who's upposed to be the bad guy here? Are we going to indulge in nuances so cliche that now we have a hulking infant running around in some nostalgiac piece of latex screaming "Boo, I gotta take a s%^t" at least figuratively all over this script. UUNN-GGAAHH!!!!!.....

Another cool pic. I'd say most of the photos we have seen thus far are all good. That doesn't mean alot if the movie in fact sucks, but the trailer and the photos got my interest. I'll bet its better than any of the sequels. My figers are crossed. I could care less about the director and his or her credentials as long as the movie delivers. 4 months to go, damn it !!!

Ha! Gotta love it! Day by day, week by week, I grow to hate this "movie" more and more. Rob Zombie, you loathsome bastard...you arrogant, pompous asshole...you talentless hack...Ha! I say. An infantile Michael Myers goes on a rampage; the product of a corrupt(?) Dr. Loomis's exploits? Do my very own eyes decieve me? AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!! If this was anyone else, every website, magazine etc, etc, would crucify this story and its creator to the proverbial Haddonefield cross...LOL! Stupidity...$$$$$ Pure hollywood marketing vehicle...that's all this movie is...Cha-Ching! Open wide your trick or treat bags, Zombie's fixn' to shit in every one of em...


10:20pm, April 27, 2007

can somebody tell me why his mask looks all f@!#ed up? This is supposed to be a new beginning of sorts, but it looks like it has plenty of wear and tear. Don't tell me he made it crudely himself...please don't even suggest it...CRAP!

It looks like shit to me. At least I'm not the only one who thinks this movie is going to be a total disaster.

This photo looks brutal and bring my hopes about the movie even closer to being satisfied. YES they are remaking a classic, BUT would you rather have that or another shitty sequel ( H20, and god awful Resurrection)? Im not a HUGE fan of any of the sequels but I do like them, and there are some good things about them, but obviously none of them live up to the original. I also understand that Hollywood is hoping to bank of this just like the recent Texas Chainsaw remake/prequels which some of you are whining about, but people what the fuck do you expect, thats their business, thats what they do for a living. Studios are remaking and re-inventing everything these days, theres a huge lack of creativity in the world, and almost everything has been done, so why bitch about things you cant control. Sure everyone has their right to opinion and to speak their mind, I definetly believe in that, but to those talking trash about the film already without even seeing it seems to be a little one-sided and childish. Most of the true fans I know are mad because they are touching on the original, but like MANY have said it will never take away from John Carpenter's masterpiece one bit it will just give some a different view on the story of Michael Myers, like it or not its coming and with a vengeful mind. Most movie buffs and fans just wait to see the movie before throwing something like this away, be an adult, if your a Halloween fan give it a chance, if not go run along and watch what tickles your innards.

This is actually the weakest of all the myers photos so far IMO. I guess it's still the best he's looked since HalloweeN II.

12:38pm, April 28, 2007

i always get pretty upset when people hate... but in all honesty... i think the photo sucks and the mask looks umm i dunno.. it just looks strange?

Justin
1:13pm, April 28, 2007

I still say that damn mask looks too dirty, we shouldnt be able to see his eyes as well as we can (Halloween 4 really pulled this off well), and that knife in his hand should be held lower, more casually, down by his waist. Ahhhh this movie is really going to suck.


1:50pm, April 28, 2007

"so why bitch about things you cant control". Actually, people have more control than they think. If people don't line up to go to see crappy remakes, then the studios will stop churning them out. Plain and simple, except to concede the notion that everything is cyclical. It wasn't but a year or two ago that there was much fuss about the state of Hollywood, and how if it weren't for a few unexpected hits (Pirates of the Carribean), the box office would have been a bust compared to years past. Even now, studios are relying on sequels as tent-poles: Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, Pirates 3... etc. That's why taking on "new" material often times is deemed riskier. The notion of a remake or "re-imaging" is that it already has a built in audience. You think any studio is going to look at Grindhouse's lack of success and jump on the bandwagon and churn out their own? Do you think the Weinstein's are going to invest in a sequel? Do you think there's going to be a Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 (I'm hoping it's comprised of the "lost years" where Leatherface is in a nursing home and takes verbal abuse from Nurse Ratched wielding a bed-pan. Now THAT'S horror). All the studios want to do is make money, and in a sense, it's the old mentality that a sucker is born every minute that gets people in to the seats. It's only a matter of time before people in general wake-up and say, um-nope, you're not pulling the wool over my eyes again. It's only at this point, where, as they say on Survivor, "the tribe has spoken", that the people begin to really realize they collectively have control over what type, and what level of quality, movies are made in Hollywood. Of course, Adam Sandler seems to have made a career out of it, so perhaps all IS lost.

YOU ALL PATHETIC WANKERS NEED TO GET A LIFE ROB HAS DONE A FUCKING EXCELLENT CREATION WITH THIS NEW VERSION OF HALLOWEEN SO GET SOME FUCKING BALLS UNLESS YOUR A SISSY

Vermin Bastard Fish (Re-Imagined)
2:59pm, April 28, 2007

Hey, "haddonfieldkiller". How do you know "ROB HAS DONE A FUCKING EXCELLANT CREATION WITH THIS NEW VERSION OF HALLOWEEN"? Like those who tell the "haters" not to bitch until they've seen it, you're just as oblivious as to how this film will come off as the rest of us...at least the "haters" have a valid reason to bash something they haven't seen yet--makes more sense than praising something you haven't seen yet. Rob's ideas and the fact that it's even been remade...er excuse me, re-imagined ...tick the immediate fans off because a classic shouldn't be touched, and Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis shouldn't be touched. And I agree with "Anonymous Poster", sequels and remakes are all they can throw our way, unless it's a poorly made adaptation of a video game. In this fanboy's opinion, we need to see more daring, bold films like 300! Yes, that movie was based on a graphic novel, but how many moviegoers read graphic novels? But I digress, Michael Myers was fine...the original is still great and did not need to be "re-imagined". Any further exploits i.e. sequels involving The Shape should be "re-imagined"--if anything at all. Not something we've already seen before...All I can say is...don't ever send Mikey to space for God's sake! And most definately don't give him any dialgoue...

Yep that pic looks fucking laughable. The trailer sucks shit to. Mind you Robs vision won't be any worse than fucking dog shit stinking sequels.

This movie looks like it is going to be awesome. The trailer kicked major a$$. The pictures have been great. I admit at first I didn't want Halloween remade but after seeing the trailer and all these photos I think this is going to be a great movie.

Picture looks like s**t. He doesn't even look right. It's like none of you on here (with the exception of one or two)are even paying attention. Re-imagining my a**. For everyone out there that is so hung up on RZ.... get real. If that idiot took you guys on a picnic and served you up a re-imagined s**t sandwich... it would still be a s**t sandwich! (and you know you would eat it!) Pathetic!

goose101
12:50am, April 29, 2007

I admit its not the best picture of Myers and it isn't even new. The newer pics look more promising. By the way the guy below me made himself out to be a fanboy idiot.

10:27am, April 29, 2007

Someone actually compared their dick to Michael Meyer's knife. I think i'm actually dumber now after reading that


7:33pm, April 29, 2007

Movie looks good, can't wait. There hasn't been a good Halloween since part 4. And Boo-Jangles is an ass.


7:33pm, April 29, 2007

Here's a thought: Rob Zombie said young Michael Myers makes masks in the institution to express himself. Including (but not limited to taking a shit) expressing the evil he's capable of. So WHAT IF the adult Myers mask is a crudely contruted piece used to convey The Shape's feelings concenring his rampage through "Rob Zombie's" Haddonefield? Certainly that is not the case! For didn't another maniacal killer make his own "crudley" constructed mask(s)? Just a thought. Here's hoping Mikey didn't make that worn out piece of shit; that would be a blatant rip-off. Even if all it is is just latex. Wouldn't it?


9:34pm, April 29, 2007

maybe that western zombie's manager was imlpicating is uwe bowell's bloodrayne 2 (what a piece o crap) LOL!


9:14am, April 30, 2007

Come now, everyone knows it's the midichloriads that drive Michael to the dark side.

Nick
11:01am, April 30, 2007

I'm sure this movie will be entertaining enough but I think a lot of big fans of the original will be dissapointed (it's very rare that they're not) but at the same time a Halloween remake is a terrible idea. The film is a simple concept and adding anything to it isn't really needed. Why not put all that money into something original?

Vermin Bastard Fish (Re-Imagined)
12:11pm, April 30, 2007

Exactly

RamoneOfTheDead
2:41pm, April 30, 2007

Here's another thought: Suckage. Stupid mask.

daveberg
5:41pm, April 30, 2007

Here's another thought - if you buried a mask for years then un-earthed it, it would look pretty mashed up wouldn't you say?

Samantha
6:19pm, April 30, 2007

The only thing i will complain about is: Why does he have to have such long hair? other than that- i'm pretty much excited about this movie

MMyers666
7:30pm, April 30, 2007

believe what you will. Truth is, nobody knows how it is going to turn out. First, a good thing happens, then a bad, then a good then a bad. Its a continuous stage for this movie, and until we actually see it, will we actually make our judgement.

Vermin Bastard Fish (Re-Imagined)
9:33pm, April 30, 2007

Hmmm...buried, huh? Good theory, but he would've been ten at the most when he buried it, and that's a full-size mask fit for a near 7-footer...unless that's exactly what's in the movie...but good theory, though...Hmmm...


11:13pm, April 30, 2007

can you actually see michael myers sitting down for a haircut? he had long hair in halloween 5. so it makes sense.


1:37am, May 1, 2007

Looks goofy. But maybe, just maybe he will come through for all of us!

RamoneOfTheDead
12:33pm, May 1, 2007

Here's another thought... If the mask re-entered the atmosphere after being ejected from the space ship Jason was on in Jason Goes to Outer Space - a rip in the space-time continuum would open and suck all the Zombie tools into a parallel dimension where RZ was making an original movie.

Vermin Bastard Fish (re-imagined)
10:45pm, May 1, 2007

LOL! Now that was damn funny, you clever rascal...

Testicle
7:13am, May 2, 2007

Ive read the script. It seems OK. People wont rave about it, nor will they diss it. Lots of kills. Blood and guts fans wont be disappointed. The way the mask is introduced and the purpose of it is a clever aspect of the film.


2:04pm, May 2, 2007

Read the early draft. 126 pages. A script is supposed to read a page a minute, that would make this early draft two hours six minutes. This was before Danny Trejo's character was inserted into the story, but the basis for the character was in the early draft. This one definately has Rob Zombie written all over it...to say I am disappointed is a BIG understatement. First of all (I know the tape-recorder has since been removed) I'd like to say that the characters we know and are familiar with are NOT in this movie. Loomis is someone else. A rip-off if you will, with the same name. Michael isn't Michael. He's portrayed as a childlike giant who seeks Laurie out because she represented the purity of family life (young Mikey's family life in this flick is DYSFUNCTIONAL) So some people think it's a good idea to portray him as human and not the boogieman. Lot's of people like the idea that he's done something different. Well, more than some of the elements of the original are in this movie, including the the ghost sheet scene. They're just variations. A lot of what I read in this early script is in the movie (unless the MPAA says otherwise, but given Gridnhouse's gore I doubt they'll raise too much a fuss). Anyway, Zombie made sure no one could make a sequel out of HIS version. I'm very disappointed because I'm a fan of the original and the series, and the series pretty much kept Michael the same, expounding on the fact that he is an unstoppable boogieman. Rob completley goes the opposite direction with this. And the mask looks so beat for a valid reason. Anyway, I hate it. And the hardcore fans will, too...PROMISE. Because this is not a halloween movie...it's a rob zombie movie guest starring a childish Michael Myers...I would rather see another sequel that stuck with the true nature of the character than this poignant waste...

Testicle
7:49am, May 3, 2007

Yep, thats the number of pages in the script I read. My apologies. I guess a lot of changes might have been made. Im glad the tape recorder thing has gone, that seemed a bit crap. Lets also hope that older Mike doesnt utter a word!


11:55am, May 3, 2007

Rob Zombie + Halloween = $$$ - consideration and respect for the characters + story + lack of consideration for the fans = CRAP :(

lnrsjr
4:25pm, May 7, 2007

I agree for the new look michael myers. He suppose to look rugged,attitude: mind fuck, and dirty because thats how murderes are suppose to be.Michael myers is in my opinion"no games" in the sense that he takes no prisoner. He's not mr clean. wake up people. In closing, I trust Rob Zombie due to the fact that he's a horror movie fan like all of us here.This movie has better potential then the last 4 movie sequel.But it will never be John Carpenter's Halloween Classic film that will never die.
