Well, it's Rob Zombie's "Halloween", so he can't really be fucking up John Carpenter's Michael, if anything he's just making a fucked up Rob Zombie's Michael.

I think Rob chose to do this because if he didn't somebody else would, I would jump off of a bridge if this fell into the hands of someone like Uwe Boll or Michael Bay.

If Rob Zombie-made Halloween an exact copy of the original except with up-dated actors ...... how amazing would THAT be?

He WILL put his stamp on this picture, but as much as he digs and respects horror, he will do a great job IMHO.

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.
Horror movies used to be respected...you know, when movies like The Exorcist and The Omen were getting Academy Award recognition, and The Thing and The Shining were garnishing big name actors.

Now it's considered a shit genre...and in result, we get shit movies.
And that's why we should give a fuck what the general people think about horror.

You may be down for the rebellious, fuck everybody attitude, but I'm kind of getting sick and tired of what we've been getting spoon-fed horror-wise lately.
I want my real horror back.

I see a ruined masterpiece in the near future. Zombie style films- gory,tons of cussing, 10 bajillion boobies, etc etc etc. Halloween original- little blood, very little cussing (i think it is a significant detail since rejects had SO much it throws me out of proportion), and only... 9 bajillion boobies.

The cussing was the nature of the characters though, Otis, Baby, Spaulding, Wydell, all of them are the type of people that spout out swears. I doubt you'd see it with these types of characters, I seriously don't think you'd see Dr. Loomis say "You don't know what God damn Fucking evil is!" or "I looked into his fucking eyes! They were the god damn devil's eyes!"

Yeah I know, but I wouldn't put it past Zombie.

Thank you. And I'm not saying you're wrong, either...it just may be the remake we've been looking for.

We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

First off, I'd be surrpised if the script your friend in LA has is the shooting script of the film. Secondly, I don't see how Rob Zombie can be attacked for taking the project. What up and coming horror director wouldn't jump at the chance to remake Halloween if someone offered him the project? If I were Zombie, I'd be looking at it like this... It's going to get remade by someone anyways, it'll probably do well in theatres and advance my career, why WOULDN'T I take the project?

That being said, I am with the majority here that fears Zombie could replace the haunting atmosphere in the original with gallons of gore. The original Halloween is awesome because John Carpenter did so much on such a small budget. That's impossible to replicate with a big name director, a big studio backing it, and a big budget.

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm undecided on Zombie as a director, but it could be worse... Uwe Boll could be at the helm and then we'd already KNOW for sure that the franchise is fucked.

How can a remake ruin the original? At the worst the remake just won't be good. I'm expecting a completely different movie and I bet he delivers.
