Michael Myers returns...

DotTheEyes · 04-07-2007, 03:11 PM

...in a 'reboot' of the franchise, directed by Rob Zombie. The trailer is here.

Seems good! I loved the first film by John Carpenter and hope this is a return to form for the character and series.

Seems well-crafted... but I wonder why he chose to remake the original instead of adding a new one.

Remakes have a way of going straight into the crapper.

At least he's not doing a shot-for-shot redo, the way Gus Van Sant did with Psycho, which was a bizarre choice resulting in a boring, pale imitation of the classic.

Having read a draft of Rob Zombie's Halloween script, I can say, for most of it, it's different from the John Carpenter original. He, for better or worse, concentrates on turning Michael Myers into a character instead of simply 'the Shape.'

He'll never live up to the original. I just hope it's better than the last five.

Watching Michael Myers' bowel movement would be better (and far scarier) than the last film, Halloween: Resurrection. Ugh, it was terrible. I hope whoever cast Busta Rhymes was fired.

Rob Zombie is a fanboy just like the rest of us, so I think he will do right by the franchise.

I wonder if Jamie Lee Curtis will be in this one; she's dreamy.

Didn't Donald Pleasance perish in one of the films and in real life as well?

Isn't there an urban legand that she is a hermephrodite? She is creepy to me, not really hot. Now Rob Zombie's wife, Sherry Moon, she is in it and she is HOT!

I don't know, there's something Mrs. Robinson about her that makes me pant. She can rape me in a dark alley any night.
