Rob Zombie Talks 'Halloween' Remake With B-D
Thursday, August 9, 2007

Today we added an early interview with writer-director Rob Zombie who briefly chatted about his remake of Halloween with Bloody-Disgusting at last month's San Diego Comic Con. Watch for video interviews at month's end. 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.

Gee, now the fans of the franchise are "mot%erf$ckers." Thanks ROB, we weren't aware that without YOUR specific, divine intervention, we wouldn't be getting another movie. Thanks for clarifying that for us. So.....the franchise is long dead and YOU'RE te one to do it, and anyone who questions what we've seen is a mot$erf%cker. If this interview doesn't speak volumes as to what a pretentious, uneducated prick this guy is then nothing will. Let's all give a collective bow of acquiescence and fealty to ROB for his generosity in rescuing Michael Myers. Oh please master, tell me more.........Prick!!!

On a lighter note, B-D, I know you have a thing for Elizabeth Bathory. Go check out movieweb, they put up an interview with William Hurt about the countess project....

here we are again with you sauron, bashing rob, and the remake of halloween because of rob. your like a bad case of crabs that doesnt stop itching and wont go away. sauron, please do something else with your life besides being miserable and bashing people who are much better than you.

Amen Rob!!! That’s the one thing I always found funny too, the fans will be like “I can’t believe he’s remaking this movie, he’s destroying the franchise!” And my response was like, “OK motherfuckers, what franchise? There’s no other movies coming! This is the only way you’re going to SEE Michael Myers!”

really i cant understand why your just suck a dick about everything rob does. i think that you took the "motherfuckers" thing bad because it was addressed to people like you. none of the other scripts were good, rob had a fresh idea that they liked.. so hard to deal with? get it through your thick head.

Guys I was the one who did the interview, Rob didn't say Motherfuckers as an insult, he was almost laughing as he said it. You know, like if your friend trips and you call him a dumbass, that type of thing. Just wanted to clarify.

Jesus. Will the bickering never end? The film has been made. Nothing anyone can do or say that will change it now, whether you're a supporter or a hater, that's just the way the knife falls I'm afraid. Plus the fact I'm far too lazy to add anything credible to either side of the coin right now...

Hmmm....I still believe even if this guy hadnt snatched the chance to direct this,some other f**ker wouldve done it sooner or later...the lame sequels wouldve kept coming,but he's not re-inventing the wheel just b/c he's ROB FU**ING ZOMBIE, he just got the frontline before any other person did....anyone disagree?(stupid question)

I find myself sometimes scratching my head at why fans (Myself included) Don't hate on John Carpenter for 'turning his back' on the Halloween series. He upped and left after the second film and we were treated to nothing but second rate sequels and poor storylines (IMO, only h4 & H20 were credible) Personally I'd rather spend my time spitting fire at the brains behind the whole Thorn storyline, i mean c'mon, talk about ruin the continuity and completely shatter all the Michael was made to be. In my eyes, i don't think Zombie can do any worse than h5, that for me, was the lowest Ebb in the Halloween franchise, i even preferred Resurrection over the steaming pile of monkey spunk that is H5.

JGRAYLAND; thats what i was trying to explain, but sauron is a dirtbag who is always blowing crap out of proportion and bitch at everything rob zombie.

I think everyone in their right minds are approaching this remake with caution - Halloween is such a cherished piece of cinematic history, held close to the hearts of the millions of fans across the globe, announcing they were going to remake this classic was always going to send shockwaves through the Myers loving community. Will it match up to the original? Will the story be the same? Blah blah. Question is, would people be ripping this movie to shreds if a grade A director were attached? What if it was a James Cameron or Ridley Scott? A Tarentino (SP?) Would people still be oozing out the hate by the bucket load? Would the other directors have gone a different route and made it their own as much as Zombie has? From what I've seen, Zombie has kept quite a bit of the original stuff in his adaption which I'm happy about, but i can't really make assumptions that the whole movie will contain more nods and winks to the original than what the trailer gave us. so again, it's fence riding time. Though, i will say this, for all the haters and nay sayers - you could have had Paul Anderson directing this, then you really would have watched Halloween fall into the tenth level of cinematic hell.........

I didn't watch his interview thing but I read your comments and I've seen things with him before. He just seems rude to anyone who is in objection to this. FYI I hate Rob Zombie and he never should of done a remake. I saw a new trailer for it today god Scout Taylor Compton and Malcolm Mcdowell NEED acting coaches and Rob should learn to direct and write.


pissing_lasers
7:21pm, August 9, 2007

Yeah...Carpenter did his thing and moved on,he's stated before how he disliked "Halloween 2" b/c if you think about it,at the end of "Halloween",its over and done with,how you cant really ever destroy true evil...its what i didnt see that scared thi p** out of me but its all balls out,in your face-you'll see it all,with the remake it seems....

I'm always in amazement at how people criticize the acting of movie stars after watching trailers with no more than about 2 sentences spoken in it, little bit judgmental isn't it? Can't be much worse than hearing Lynda from the original Halloween say 'Totally' over and over again, now that, is poor acting.


pissing_lasers
7:25pm, August 9, 2007

Wow...hating on Malcom Mcdowell now? it may not be some Oscar performance,but nobody else could portray Doc Loomis better i think,not as good as the ol'droogy himself...so pop a mydol and get over it(Like whatsernutts moon-unit-zappa-zombie is top notch acting)


KayStar
7:27pm, August 9, 2007

Atleast she said totally with some attitude. Unlike Scout Taylor Compton "Is That The Boogeyman" sounded like some 5 year old baby. God Jamie Lee Curtis must be pissed off that some nickelodeon star got her role.


KayStar
7:29pm, August 9, 2007

Also how Malcom Mcdowell says "Michael Stop" it sounds like he just had a stroke and can't yell properly.

GoliathSlasher actually if you took the time to read my comment it was in agreement with rob.And it isn't people like me because I was in full favor of rob directing in the first place.You should read comments before you to respond to each one.

Wow. It's hard to look at Sauron's comments sometimes. This is my second post, but I've kept up with all the happenings here for the most part. Personally, whoever Sauron is, I think he does have a pretty good level of intelligence, just by his vocabulary, and I give him credit for that. The problem I have is this ( And I'm not a Zombie ass kisser as so often being referred here ), Obviously some people are extremely angry about any kind of remake of HALLOWEEN, but my God, it seems so childish to go on and on about how terrible a person Mr. Zombie is. I find it so ridiculous that some people take every possible opportunity to twist and contort anything that comes out of his mouth. I've kept up also on the MySpace site ( cause I'm a fan of HALLOWEEN plain and simple ), and I do recall once where Mr. Zombie put up a blog, and basically said....."Here you go fuckers". Now, for anyone to actually believe he seriously hates every fan and meant that as a true insult, might consider speaking to a trained professional on their mental state. It's quite sad really, how some think they can direct better, live life better, and just plain do everything involved in this movie better. That is insane. I've continually watched these comments, and like clockwork, the same "negative" people show up like magic. That's an obvious indication of motive. Let's just thrash something because "I REFUSE to have an open mind, it will never matter what happens with this film.....even if it's a success, cause I hate the idea". It's too bad really....that mentality is one of the biggest reasons the world is the way it is sometimes.

Makes me smile, people are picking up on the smallest of things to use as excuses to vent their frustrations. I mean, what's the deal, did everyone REALLY want a Halloween 9? Another bunch of hapless teens caught up with yet another dead beat rapper trying to act tough and ghetto slap Myers? Puuuulease. No-one should be surprised Halloween was remade, they're doing it with just about everything these days, a little bit of un-originality (Is that even a word, heh) never hurt anyone!


pissing_lasers
7:34pm, August 9, 2007

Whatever happens,it all makes sure Mr Carpenter lights his smokes with hundred dollar bills...If I were him,I'd beat up ppl like Zombie just for the hell of it and wipe my ass with a copy of "Halloween 5" sorry...i'm a bit negative today i guess


KayStar
7:37pm, August 9, 2007

I've been a fan of all the original Halloweens anyone who really knows of them can see what a dissapoitnment this movie really is. Rob Zombie and his trashy vision can never equal up to a cult classic. I would be embarrassed to even be seen walking into the movie theater to see this movie.


daveberg_returns
7:37pm, August 9, 2007

Each to their own dude. Each to their own. At the end of the day, most people here, including the haters will go and see Zombies Remake out of sheer curiosity, i mean, how can people consider H3 a part of the Halloween franchise but yet boycott the remake? Myers wasn't even connected to the third movie at least we've got him here, albeit a larger, grumpier version....


daveberg_returns
7:39pm, August 9, 2007

Kaystar - no-one has even said that Zombie wants to 'Equal' the original. We've already got that movie, Zombies version is something different, a more twisted, modernized version. We don't need a carbon copy of our beloved classic.
