[Dante'sInferno]

Isn't there already a thread on this?BLAST!Use the search function!

[the_real_linda]

yeah i went on it two nights ago.....i was disappointed there was nothing but the trailer

[KingKrueger]

I'm really not sure about this re-make, i'm just watching the original and i've recently looked at the trailer of the new one - i still love the original, i've jumped twice since it started and its still tense when the music plays and suddenly Myers appears, plus it has the addition of Jamie Lee (Goddess!).

The trailer for the new movie certainly looks good and the new mask is certainly appealing but i dont like the fact that they're re-making one of my favourite films, its gonna have to be something really special and although it will be original in alot of ways (hopefully), i hope it stays true to the original.

We'll see in just a few months i guess!

even the poster sucks

[Fred Krueger]

What they should have had Rob do is make Halloween 9 the right way, tie in some of the storylines that haven't been revisited and really give the series a jumpstart that allows it to continue while not destroying what has already been done. Lately, it just seems like studios would rather trash the past and try and reinvent their film series in hopes of making more money.

I think Rob's film will be good, but nothing will ever be better than the original because you can't recapture the look and feel of a movie that old, with no effects or budget to speak of that stars an actress of such high caliber (Jamie Lee).

I hope that this is simply a way to get fans back into Halloween, and that they will eventually make Halloween 9 the right way and continue the series, not rewrite it. If it goes the way of Batman it will be upsetting for me, just as t was upsetting that they sort of left out 4 and 5 when they made H20 and i believe that 1-5 (skipping 3) and the best of the series.

I couldn't agree with you more! The original is a complete work of art and in my opinion too much of a challenge for Mr Zombie who's only made two movies... so he'll have his work cut out for him!!

First problem I have already is the mask!! He tries to give Meyers a "soul" by making the "eye holes" bigger ... for me thats what makes Micheal so scarry... the fact you cant look into the eyes of a maniac!!

But like you said we'll see...

When did he say that?

[corpse_grinder]

oops goofed!! my bad ...

[corpse_grinder]

I was commenting on the bit about the mask being "appealing" ... i was stating my opinion on that statement

[massacre man]

Rob's just done some re-shoots, including 6 death scenes and a new ending.

[Juvenile Sims]

I beleive the remake will be a disservice to the original. Halloween is a horror masterpiece and sometimes it's just best to let it be a materpiece without adding your take on it. I agree that Rob should've just made a Halloween 9 and add to the history of MM by using flashback. I'm not saying Rob can't make a good Halloween film, but trying to duplicate or even build on Carpenter's original film is dangerous.

Regarding the mask, I have two opinions. First, it is not as good as the original Shatner mask. The original mask is Halloween. If Rob was really trying to capture Halloween, he would've gone back to the original. However, the mask is much better than say, H2O on. The MM mask became too cartoonish. The eyebrows became very pronounced, defined cheekbones, etc.

I am excited however to see Rob's vision and see this movie. Hopefully it will revive the Halloween franchise.

Just my 2 cents.

[illdojo]

I'm starting to feel a bit indifferent about the film. I want Zombie to succeed, but if he fucks up my favorite Horror Film of all time....
He will be DEAD to me. :mad:

A lot of people are calling it a "Re-make". He himself stated that it was a "Re-vision.
I was impressed with his 1st film House of a 1,000 Corpses, and I was very impressed with his 2nd film Devils Rejects.

Let's hope 3rd time the charm. :cool:

[massacre man]

I'm looking forward to this movie, very much, my 2 favorite horror movies are Halloween and Devil's Rejects, I'll still love the original even if the remake is completely "How the fuck did this get past the writing stages?" I doubt I'll dislike it because of 6 simple reasons.

1. Michael Myers is in it.
2. Busta Rhymes isn't it it.
3. It's a Rob Zombie movie.
4. Ken fucking Foree.
5. William Forsythe.
6. Besides "Superbad" no other movies I'm interested in are released after "The Simpsons Movie" this Summer until "Hatchet".

[illdojo]

2. Busta Rhymes isn't it it.


LMFAO :D :D :D :D Nice.

[Tbass17]

Obviously nothing is going to compare to the original but having seen Rob Zombies other films I am expecting great things once again. I think his choice to steer away from the House of 1000 Corpses/Devils Rejects franchise is wise as it avoids turning cult fims into over commercialised money making piles of trash. we'll just have to wait anxiously and see.

[detroitrockcity1414]

Honestly in the entire halloween series the only 2 movies that really matterd to me were the first 2, those were the only 2 that really truly counted..and the first was legendary and has to be one of the greatest horror films in history and when i heard they were remaking it at first i felt a little iffy about it because i didnt think that it would be a good idea and that it would ruin the originals legacy but when i heard Rob Zombie was the mastermind behind it and i rememberd how much i loved House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects i knew if any person could remake this movie and do it the way it should be done its him.

[jaybomb]

I watched the new tv trailer/spot and this movie looks like it will kick ass, don't get me wrong i agree that Halloween is a masterpiece and is also one of my favorite films of all time, but i think this will be a great horror film and am just excited to watch this when it comes out. don't think it can be any worse then the pieces of shit that have come out in the last year.

[illdojo]

They have a new trailer, and I saw a TV spot on A&E last night.

The makers of the Dead Head Fred video game are endorsing it:

[The Mothman]

im not gonna lie, i think the trailer looks like ass.
i got high hopes though, Rob is a talented director.

rob is a hack - the movie will suck. . . probably debut at number 2 or 3 but it will be out of the top ten within two weeks.

where oh where is our horror savior to carry us through to another age and away from these mindless remakes!

This has the trailer, the escape from the asylum scene, and a behind the scenes thing.

[XtRaVa]

Geez...This movie comes out on the 31st for you guys in the US...I have to wait till October 19th...What the fuck for? I can understand that for non-english speaking countries, but I live in England...it's not like it needs to have subtitles added or anything.

Hate that they always do this. Then again it works both ways I guess. The Descent was on TV here by the time US finally got it in the cinema (and the ending was changed to make it more of a "happy" ending - lame).

[illdojo]

A friend of mine might have Wed. night sneak preview passes.
******crosses fingers******

[XtRaVa]

the escape from the asylum scene

Wow...Possibly the most inept guards ever? - Just shoot him? :rolleyes:

[jenna26]

I think Zombie is talented, but really, in my opinion, he has done only one good movie. I think he made a mistake taking this on. Still trying to keep an open mind, but what I am seeing, I am not liking all that much. But I guess that's no surprise.

[Smackytherabbit]

All the characters in the movie seem to be taken straight from House of a thousand corpses. I dunno, i enjoyed it but not as much as i thought i would, zombies starting to piss me off with his movies. I expected more out of him as a director.
