Before the bashing gets out of hand...
The remake wasn't Rob's idea, it was Bob Wienstien who approached Rob with the idea. Rob said no at first, but couldn't get the idea out of his head.
Carpenter told me (I never get tired of saying that) that he gave Rob his blessing and told him to "make it his own."
Yes, I've read the script, and yes is is absolutely a Rob Zombie movie - take that for what it's worth. But nothing can ruin the original. JC's Halloween exists. Most of us here own it. It's not like Rob is filming over the top of Carpenter's original master.
This is just another installment in a shaky franchise that I'm quite sure will at least be better than the last 3 movies in the franchise. And it's being directed by someone whose previous work has been a source of enjoyment for many here.
Let's all relax a bit and wait for the film to actually be released before tearing it to shreds.
