Wednesday, July 18, 2007

Today very cool character posters were posted from Dimension Films and Rob Zombie's upcoming remake of Halloween, which hits theaters August 31. Read on to check 'em out. 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.


Check out new images and all the character posters at this MySpace:

Words absolutely escape me. Myers meets Detroit Rock City meets Alex de Large. WWOOWW!!! This is our grand reimagining.....You've all been taken by this dog-and-pony show glossed over by a bunch of adolescent wannabe myspace 'hipsters,' and are 'living' the minimalist dream of mediocrity, ignorance and delusion.....

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....The same tired retinue of ignorance, reinterpretation, and "let's let ROB do his thing" by the same infantile group of wannabe's clinging to all things ROB in an apparent sad effort to be noticed or curry favor by a half-wit, third tier "celebrity" who apparently thinks he's going to reinterpret and re-educate us about a timeless masterpiece that you obviously have no idea about.....Here's a novel idea: Why don't you get back to your homework and post only AFTER you've developed an ounce of educated sense. I mean is summer school REALLY that difficult or is that the sum total o your best efforts to debate.....

Wow! Did I forget something? I thought this was a movie? It's not a religious experience or life changing. People bitch about how Rob is going to ruin the original but if that were true! Wouldn't of been ruined by the sub-par sequels? Regardless if this remake, re imaging, re visioning is good or bad!It does not matter! The original will always be there. It will always be classic. If you think about it. At the time the original was made. Jamie Lee and many of the others who were in that movie were in fact unknowns! Wouldn't that make them 3rd tier at that time? Doesn't every actor have to start somewhere? Plus. I think people keep forgetting that this whole "remake" craze in not a new thing! It's all been done before and will continue until the end of time. How many Dracula's, Frankenstein's, Mummy's have been made? Were some of them bad? Of coarse they were! But not all of them sucked either. We live in a day in age where everything has been done already. There is nothing new under the sun. All we can hope for is that the people who do these remakes make a good movie. Even movies that are not remakes draw there influence from other movies. So in a sense those movies are re imaginings and remakes as well!

I have heard everyone's complaints and excitement about Zombie's version and while it might be good, it's still not the original. First, he changes the time frame of the movie. In the Zombie version, young Michael is wearing a KISS shirt, but he killed his older sister in the mid 60's & KISS didn't exist. So his version is more modern version. Either way, you are either going to like it or hate it, but give it a chance. I will stick with the original, but the new version will be my little secret vice...in the end, no more crappy sequels!

You make good points. However, the cast and crew of the original were in their trade as professionals engaged in a career. This 3rd tier celebrity is nothing more than a cheesed out emo/macab rocker who specializes in reinterpreting everyone else's original artistic vision into some "ooohhhh so dark and scary misogynistic teenage vision of nonconformity" when in fact if he had one iota of an original thought of his own the friggin earth might invert on its axis.....I mean let's face facts: This movie is a desperately sad last-ditch attempt by Malek Akkad et al. to reinject life into a long dead franchise by hiring a fourth rate hack, WHO ISN'T EVEN A FILMAKER BY TRADE, to rope in a bunch of adolescent saps to experience his latest social revenge fantasy played out using characters and story that are a timeless piece of American film. YES, I AM INDEED AWARE THAT THE ORIGINAL WILL ALWAYS IN FACT BE THERE FOR OUR ENJOYMENT. YOU GUYS CAN ALL STOP TRYING TO INFORM ME OF THIS. I HEARD YOUR ARGUEMENT THE FIRST 9756 TIMES YOU MADE IT. None of this changes the fact that everything we've seen thus far, everything that ROB himself has put forth represents an absolute disgrace and insult to a tentpole o te modern horror genre. I mean the guy's entire education in the film industry was to run coffee errands on PeeWee's Playhouse. If you think I'm making any of this up, all the info is readily and easily available to research. If you think I should shut up and let this f#cking wannabe fanboy slob desecrate a masterpiece with his stunted creative vision then you haven't been reading my entries closely enough.

Ha ha ha, nice try.....If you think the damn Kiss shirt is the sum total of my hatred of this entire project then I suggest that you read some of my earlier (circa 4 months ago) verbal battles with Jonny and Daveberg. Analysis of the minutae you mention above would be a good thing. We'll never be able to get to that level of disection from any film written by Paul Reuben's personal gofer.....

I understand where you are coming from but does it really matter? And why should a person be defined by one trade? Many actors, directors, producers...etc got there start from being grips, prop boys, assistants...etc! So what if he worked on Pee Wee's Big Adventure! LOL! WOW! Does that mean he cannot venture out into other things? The bottom line is? What movie have you made that successful? What album have you made that went platinum? Don't answer because I already know...none! By the way your mother's pussy has a comb over! LOL! J/K!

The FREAK has chimed in... Now please, no mama talkin' now, that is just rude! I'm her to shine a ray of light and hope to everyone... NOT REALLY!! I will reiderate that I have mixed feelings about all this with an honest feeling toward the skeptical. I know a lot of people are drooling over this film for the mere fact that they are Zombie fans. Nothing wrong with that. We all have our personal reasons why we like or dislike this movie (that hasn't been released yet). That is cool, but the ZOMBIE fans should acknowledge that instead of ripping the folks that are concerned over this film. I would be willing to bet that a number of the Zombie-ites have no clue or no interest in the original Halloween or maybe the series for that matter. It's all about Rob. Nothing wrong with that, but aknowledge that. I like some of Rob's tunes, but movies?? There are a number of folks here that ARE true Halloween fans. With that, I mean the orgininal and maybe (just maybe a sequal or two). The true Halloween fans want something that has been lacking since the first movie and they don't think that Zombie has mojo to do it. Yada yada yada,right? Wrong! I've seen both Zombie's movies and I didn't like either one of them. Sorry to you who like them, but I thought they sucked! You could tell from the get-go there was not a lot of thought, effort, or even production value put behind them. I saw better stuff from some of the rejected contestants from the TV show "The Lot." I'm not calling John Carpenter a master, but he certainly lived up to that title when it came to Halloween. Just by comparing "Halloween" to "House of... Corpses" and "Rejects" is like comparing Earl Schibe to Rembrandt in that respect. Also, other points of interest: Zombie said he wasn't going to shoot multiple endings... he did. He also said he was going rely on suspense like the first movi.... ahem... Doesn't look like it when you can obviously see it is a splatterfest. Why didn't Zombie want to make a NEW movie to save the series? Why recreate the origninal? Was it because he couldn't envision a new storyline? Was it because it would be pretty easy to work with a proven story line, just filling in the gaps here and there? Honestly, I don't know. I guess a lot of filmakers have revisioned and remade lesser films, but how many classics have been remade or "revisioned"? Look it up... There has not been that many. Why? Because it doesn't work. Will it work this time? We'll see. Hell, I'm going. I may love it and I may hate it but I'm going in with an opened mind. Zombie's record is 0-2 as far as I'm concerned, but I'm going to be watching intently and will evaluate at that time.

I've read Zombie's interview and I hope he is speaking the truth. He says he really cares about it and it is not about the buck. If that is true, that is great! In the Halloween 25th Anniversary he said the music was a major factor, so it is nice to hear him saying that there will be lot of the original score in his movie. Once again, we'll see. I hope his vision is good. The interviewer said he was a visionary genius. I highly doubt that. But I hope it is NOT about the buck and he is really passionate about this film. If so, true Halloween fans will like this movie.

Sauron has some good points. I'm gonna see this movie and if it blows then I'm just gonna tell myself that this was a what if this happened movie. I don't know what to think. I agree with some stuff Rob does with Halloween and I also hate some of it. My point is nobody can stop this from happening and They want to make this a trilogy series. And the sucky thing is they don't listen to hardcore fans of the original. I loved the original and no remake, prequel, sequel,or reimagining is ever gonna change that bottom line.

Chalk one more up in the Sauron column. New review at AICN from test screening. Bottom line: mediocre. In all fairness reviewer did like certain aspects of the script BUT, and this is a big BUT, this guy supposedly never saw the original so his review carries no Carpenterian prejudice. Point being: if this is indeed an honest review from any schmo off the street, what do you think the reacion is going to be from the die-hards (who will indeed make up a majority of the audience when all is said and done) that take such joy in slamming ROB......Also, I feel compelled to point out that the aforementioned Movieweb interview opens with the question about how ROB is handling the hatred that's been directed at him over this. To open the interview and then follow it up with a "it'll be alright Mr. Zombie" reeks of trouble in paradise for all you wannabe Myspace miscreants desperate to be included in ROB's special friends club.

I don't know if I read the same review as Sauron, but my take was the person didn't really like it. He liked a few parts, but the "Things I didn't like" was a little more in depth.

To me that review at aicn was real stupid. That person said he fell asleep during the original Halloween. What a loser. Does he even know horror?

I'll tell ya something, I understand all this fear about the "re-imagining" of Halloween but I don't agree with it at all. I've been a huge fan of the series since I was 6 years old and, although entertaining, all the sequels after Part 2 SUCKED. I feel a remake is a nice new change. They tried to go in different directions before but let's face it...The series ended with Halloween 2. I never wanted to see a "super-natural" Michael, but where else could you go after the guy burned to death? I feel that people are more afraid of things that are possible and this remake seems like it will be the most realistic since the original. If you hate the idea so much, go watch Halloween 5...if THAT'S your thing.

I yanked another Rob interview. He is really claiming that he has character value in this film and he is talking of other horror movies about just setting up characters to kill them. As a Halloween freak, this is really good news. Of course the opinions will come once the movie is out, but I actually feel a lot better now that I've read 3 or 4 interviews from him about the movie.

Okay. Listen here. I have read all of your posts. Some are great, bad, and just dumb posts. For you guys that like it and want to experience every fiber of the new Michael Myers movie GREAT. GO DO IT. For those of you that want to WASTE time bitching about it I have a question. If you think that the series is dead and think it's retarded that ROB ZOMIBIE is making it in the first place. Why do you even associate yourself with it? You're not going to watch it but there must be some fascination with it. Keep your monstrosity insults to yourself. At least this remake is done by someone who is a fan. Look at all the other crappy remakes out there. At least this one kept the original character names. If it were to be made COMPLETELY THE SAME, it would be plagerism. PSYCHO for example. It's 30 years later people get over it. And... SO WHAT HE WEARS A KISS SHIRT. Get a life. At least it's not HOSTEL where they TORTURE for 90 minuets. At least there is a chase.

Wow! A truly enlightening piece of literature destined to change the course of human history. You must be exhausted after spending all night trying to codify a cogent reply that resembles something close to intelligence. No way I'm going to be able to write enough material here to demonstrate how completely idiotic and unoriginal your thought process is, so, in between shopping for tampax and fixing your makeup, here's a few iotas of absolute, unadulterated truth for you to digest.....1) I don't ever recall making ANY comment whatsoever about Fraech and I would dare you to provide evidance to the contrary.....2) I highly doubt you enjoy the original more than I do because, let's face facts, at 14 years old how many times (if any) could you have seen it.....3) I don't think that I'm a lonely voice in the wilderness bitching about some third tier half-wit urinating with impunity all over a beloved masterpiece. I do seem to recall demonstrations on the set and now we have websites fawning over our little general about dealing with the hate. If you really think that one voice is capable of that kind of influence then you are truly dumber than you sound.....and finally 4) If you want to see it so bad that's your perogative (I know it's a big word so here's a link for you to look it up http://www.m-w.com/) just as it's the right of those of us with a working brain to offer perspective about some of the comedy that we've seen from Camp ROB about is superior opinions concerning the need to clarify "inconsistancies" in Carpenter's work (his words, not mine) and how his "reimagining" will finally put matters straight concerning tose same 'perceived' errors. I mean let's face it, Carpenter never wrote anything as clever and enlightening as "Tutty f%$king Fruity....."

Joe2025
10:14pm, July 24, 2007

I wasn't talking about any one person, i was talking abot thw MOANERS. and you're right, nobody has come up with anything that is as clever as "tutty f%$king fruity." but after all it is what it is. I'm not looking for a change of life and I could give two sh%%ts about watever the hell everyone thinks. It's you guys that spend hours surfing the net and comparing the pros and cons what's good and what's bad. So here's something for YOU to digest. Before you fire off on the keyboard and jumping to say "HE SAID THAT TO ME!" read what the posts are actually about instead of rambling on. And I am a MAN. not a woman shopping for hair care products and tampons.

The other thing is that my point of view is to keep 'em honest. For months we've incessently listened to Malek Akkad and ROB Zombie promote this bold new direction in horror simply because a celebrity with a small amount of MTV face time (and incidentally no training or dues paying as an educated filmaker) decides to attach himself to the franchise. If I blindly listened to all of the sychophants (don't get mad, that's not directed at you) who desperately want to be included in all things ROB, then I would have to bow down in blind acquiesence to Gen. Zombie simply because he's ROB Zombie and everyone should be grateful that he's gracing our little community with his presence. It's that kind of horsesh%t, blind, unthinking mentality that makes me sick (and worried). If you're 'genuinely' excited to see the movie then great, that's your right. What gets me going is the constant barrage of dumba$s adolescent mindset blindly pledging fealty to all things ROB, simply because he's ROB. So instead of viewing us as 'moaners' think of it more as a balanced opinion in the face of the rampant fawning love we've come to know on these here boards.....

Boy, lots of fire here. Sauron, you know I like your stuff. You make more sense than anyone around here on many points. You must be one helluva fan to be so passionate about your points. I have to agree on a lot of those points but I'm also one of those die-harders (lets say "Halloween Purist") that actually want to see the movie. Don't know why, just maybe we can have a Hallowen finally that may be interesting to watch for a change. I've been stating from the get-go that there are two types of folks on the Halloween portion of BD. The Halloween fans and the Zombie fans. You can tell which is which. I think the critiques should be made by the Halloween fans! The Zombie fans will go in blindly and do the mental "masterbation" to anything he does, so it would not be a true assessment about the movie. Hell, I'm a KISS fan, but I wouldn't want Gene Simmons to direct Halloween 10 just because he can and he is the "Demon". Back to Rob, he may be an alright guy, but I don't think his prior movie attempts justify him directing Halloween, however, the fact remains he is, and I can only hope... I MEAN HOPE that what he has been saying in his latest interviews is the truth. If so, we may have a good movie with some actual character growth and the suspense that made the first movie so great. If not, you all better give Sauron a big apology. If so, you may ask for an apology yourself. This doesn't count for the Zombie fans, ONLY the true Halloween fans. Good ole' Rob Z has a lot riding on this. I don't know if he realizes what true Halloween fans are. This isn't Friday the 13th. True Halloween fans are a special breed!

1:47am, July 25, 2007

Very well put. I am also a Kiss fan but I think the reason Michael Myers is into Kiss in this movie is because Kiss were huge in the 70s. I don't know about you but I thought House of 1,000 corpses was ok. I really like Devil's rejects and I hope Rob does well on Halloween to satisfy us all. It also will do him good with his future projects. And when it comes to Friday the 13th it is in no comparison to Halloween whatsoever. They just tried to make a Halloween type slasher flick to make a few bucks. Friday the 13th is a pointless series that was just trying to steal Halloween's thunder but didn't even come close to touching it. If you compare the two movies you can see the difference clearly. Friday the 13th movies suck especially 3 - jason x. Anyway I trust Rob but I have my expectations. I want to see a new Halloween movie with touches of the original like Rob is doing. Rob said they want to make a sequel but he doesn't want to do it so that means if he screws up he might have lost his chance at a fantastic project that is a Horror classic that discribes horror movies in every way.

6:44pm, July 25, 2007

The funny thing about all this is that I too am a pretty big KISS fan. The thing is that I don't like the whole little Mikey had a life that was stolen away from him emotionally by a bunch of selfish redneck drunks. One of the prizes of Carpenter's original was that Myers was a young but completely devoid being residing in everyman's suburbia. After Judith, he was nothing, a faceless evil silently waiting to come home and strike. Apparently ROB understands NONE of this as his script seems to focus on the emo/sourpuss/socially misunderstood outcast whose psyche is bent on psychological manifestation of the abuses he suffers as a young KISS fan. Again, this story has been done-to-death (even though Camp ROB insists that this is a 'fresh' new perspective), is completely unoriginal, and offers nothing new to the series. There IS a reason that so many other fans, reviewers, and moviesites are mocking this thing as a juvenile attempt to emotionally dress up a character that stands alone in the annals of horror history.....

Funny way you put it there. This movie DOES indeed mean a lot to me. Just maybe not in the way you perceive it. I've spent quite a lot of time enumerating as to the absolute disgrace that ANY remake by ANY director would be to the 1978 version. I've spent even more time outlining how this third-rate filmschool castoff has decided to a$splow a masterpiece with his stunted creative output. And we are in agreement.....If his movie does indeed suck, Mr. Zombie, with all of his pending projects, is finished.....

I have said the same thing that has been echoed here. This movie may make or more importantly break RZ! I've said and keep saying there is no fan like a true Halloween fan! Also, to clear things up, my KISS reference was about Gene Simmons directing. It had nothing to do with Mikey in a KISS shirt. With all things being said, Mikey could be wearing and Aerosmith shirt so who gives a crap! Now, something different: I'm not thrilled about the whole "redneck" bad childhood family thing that Mikey had to endure (Which I've been reading) that may be the reason for him turning the way he does. If that is the case, there whould be thousands of "evil" little serial killers out there right now. I think it is a lot more interesting to have little Mike be a product of a good environment and something just goes "wrong". However, once again, I have not seen the movie. I can only be writing this little blurb based on speculation. With that said... (again)... All I want and ever wanted was substance in this remake! That is what I'm worried about. Will he (the Zomb...) deliver? I guess that is the million dollar question.

I have been putting the good word on Rob Zombie my last few posts due to his interviews about his vision of Halloween. Vision is one thing, writing and actually making the film is another. I forgot to take that in account until I (re)watched "The Devil's Rejects". I didn't like it the first time, but I actually WATCHED IT this time. It sucked beyond anything I can remember! The dialogue sucked from the first word to the last. All of the characters were one dementional and cliche'. The camera angles were juvenile and the close ups were terrible. Let's talk about the framing... AAAGGGHHH. Suck suck suck! Could Zombie even get two people in one frame at the same time without washing one out? NOT! The color composition and the contrast even sucked. This whole movie was terrible! Even the nudity and how it was displayed was even bad. My Bahamas vacation video was ten times better and I edited with my computer. Rob Zombie was trying to convey some type of Texas Chainsaw Massacre realism in this flick? Well, even "over the top" was kind compared to how this was written and filmed. I could go on forever on this only to be depressed. This poor excuse of a flick just sucked from the get-go. What a piece of crap! This is grat: Zombie brought some people from this movie to be on the Halloween crew and cast? Oh boy! If "Rejects" is any indication of how "Halloween" will be, we are ALL in some serious trouble here with "Halloween." I hope Zombie went to film school between Rejects and Halloween, otherwise we are all screwed. The thing that even hits harder, was "Rejects" was even worse than "House of 1000 Corpses." He got worse from the first film to the next!!! 3rd rate crap!! I'm not a hater, I'm a realist. As a matter of fact, yesterday I basically stoked to see the remake due to Zombie's interviews. Interviews are fine and vision is fine, but actually making a film is another. Zombie has proved he hasn't produced anything worth a crap so far. Grindhouse all the way. I hope he either had a revelation or someone helped him with Halloween. Oh boy...

How cool would it have been if Carpenter had gotten involved with this movie? oh well...he's the only one who DOESNT get involved with anything "Halloween" and laughs all the way 2 the bank either way, but if i were him and i seen the amount of suck thats involved w/ those sequels...i'd hafta rig my own Bill Shatner mask 2 set ppl straight...Ha ha! o well,his added vision to this re-telling woudla been purely a** kicking.....
