Rob Zombie has cast actress/singer Scout Taylor-Compton (An American Crime, Sleepover) as Laurie Strode in his new take on Halloween at Dimension Films. Strode was originally played by Jamie Lee Curtis in the "Halloween" films.

Also starring in the August 31 release are Malcolm McDowell, Daeg Faerch, Tyler Mane, Sheri Moon Zombie, Pat Skipper, Dee Wallace Stone, William Forsythe, Ken Foree, Lew Temple, Danny Trejo, Hanna Hall, Danielle Harris, Adrienne Barbeau, Clint Howard, Courtney Gains, Daryl Sabara, Heather Bowen, Brad Dourif, Udo Kier and Kristina Klebe.

Well she wont top Jamie Lee, but might not be too bad.

I saw her in Sleepover, which wasnt nearly as bad as it could (should?) have been. From memory, I really cant distiguish her from anyone else in the movie, but I remember that none of the kids in it were as bad as you'd think.

This is a good choice, but what I dont like is the fact Zombie cast women in their late 20's early 30's as her friends. That will be noticeable. He should have either cast all teens in those roles, or all adults.

How old is she? IMDB doesnt say

She's 17. Without a bunch of makeup, she looks even younger. Instead of being a 'plain Jane' type girl next door, Zombie is probably going to have to really doll her up in makeup and more "grown up" clothes to make this even remotely believeable.

In my opinion, the adult actresses should be fired, and Zombie should build the teen cast members around this girl. Having her friends actually be 30 year old women isn't going to give it a hint of authenticity.


How many times have you seen a 17 year old girl hanging around 30 year old women, and you thought they all looked like teens?
