I've Read The Script (Halloween 2007)
 

I have read the script of Halloween. I have to say I was excited right before I started reading it. I got the script from a friend of mine who lives in California. He told me it was a solid script with a good story line. Well, I hate to tell you this but if you are an original halloween fan like myself this film will not impress you. I'm still holding on to the fact that it could be a copy-cat script. I'm not going to ruin it for you but I will tell you it fits the Rob Zombie style. Excessive blood ,unpresidented amount of nudity, and just not like the original. I know that the film was bound to change a little but they fucked up the whole persona of Michael Myers. He is tall enough to be an NBA all-star, and is fast enough to break the 100 meter world record. I'm still going to see this movie because I'm still hoping, but if this is the real script then I am not impressed!!!!!

If Zombie screws this up, I will down talk him for the rest of my life.

Man it really dos'nt look good from my point of view. If that was the script that I had I'm going to be pretty pissed. If it does flop I hope its not too bad.

Sounds great to me!;)

I'll most likely be there on opening day. The original is my favorite movie, and I fear this will ruin it for me though.

Ditto. I loved both House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, but it seems like the only thing that could drive somebody to remake Halloween would be an over-inflated ego, or the money. Now I know Zombie's heart is in the game, so it probably isn't the money.

He likes horror movies, and he's directed two, so now he figures that justification to remake a classic? I hate to put it this way, or sound snobby, but just who the fuck does he think he is? He's certainly got a lot of things running against him (in my book, at least), and he better make damn sure the film is up to par, or it could put an enormous dent in the slow but sure reputation he's been building in the world of cinema.

I just hope the movie is good or some what watchable. I don't want it to be a huge flop. I hope that even if I don't like it that the younger generation of horror lovers will. Just so the legacy of the Halloween series isnt shattered.

Well said Alky. :cool:

One of the things that I think is sad is that all horror movies get a bad wrap, and this leaks onto the classics, most of which are actually really good movies.

Halloween is already thought of, outside of horror lovers, as an excessively violent, uncreative, ruthless and thoughtless bloodbath, which it isn't, really. I believe most of that is due to the fact that its sequels have been that way, so people who don't follow horror automatically think of the original this way.

I believe that the remake is just going to put the nail in the coffin; if it garners a bad reputation, this will be tacked on to the (from the general publics' eye) pathetic reputation the film now has.

Well really, who fucking cares about how the general public thinks about our movies(I say our referring to horror fans). It dosn't matter how non-horror fans think when it comes to new horror releases. These movies are the movies that make us tick and we are the only population that they are supposed to attract. fuck all of those stuck up muther fuckers.
