Zombie for Halloween
 

[quote:ea3ab]After Rob Zombie posted on his blog that he would not be directing Halloween 9, the rumors started flying anew that, while he wasn't signed on to direct a sequel, there was a good chance he would be doing a remake. We've heard that the announcement is being made at the Weekend of Horrors any minute now, but Bloody Disgusting has the actual press release from the Weinstein Company announcing that Rob Zombie is, in fact, tackling a new Halloween movie.

"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," states the press release. "This new movie will not only appeal to horror fans, but to a wider movie-going audience as well. It will not be a copycat of any prior films in the Halloween franchise. The film is set for an October 2007 theatrical release."

Zombie will be writing, directing, and producing the film, which sounds like it will be what Hollywood likes to refer to as a "re-imaginging". My only issue with it, and I know I’m going to get no end of shit for this, is that it sounds like he’s writing it solo, which means it could suffer from the same issues as The Devi’s Rejects and House of 1,000 Corpses. We can only hope the script is given a polish or two before rolling because, while a truly visionary director, Zombie’s storytelling skills leave something to be desired.

I’m sure we’ll be hearing more and more details about this soon enough, so keep your ears open!

house of 1000 corpses wasnt all that good, but devils was such a step up.

I'd be interested to see what he could do visually, but I agree that his storytelling sometimes leaves something to be desired.

Halloween is a goddamned clasic, though. I'd kind of like them to leave it the fuck alone.

tarantino is making a Jason movie, isnt he?

Yup, its he kind of movie that doesn't need to be fucked with, so in true hollywood fashion theyre probably gonna have myers find a female version of wtf ever he is with a feminine mask, much humping will commence.

Nein. T'was a rumour only.

damn. Jason VII > *

That would suck very much....I hope this movie isn't absolute shit. Halloween is pwnage. Donald Pleasance > Old dudes everywhere.
