So despite the fact that Halloween 2 got pounded in the ratings over the weekend, losing to both the fourth installment of Final Destination and the second week of Inglourious Basterds, the Weinstein company is planning to unleash a THIRD installment of the Halloween series, this time in 3-D.
But here’s the especially odd part–the Weinsteins will NOT be inviting Rob Zombie back to run it.
Hey, maybe that means we’ll get our next installment of Halloween WITHOUT Sheri Moon Zombie! That’d be kind of nice…Deborah Myers was supposed to be dead from the beginning. Word out of Camp Weinstein however is that they wanted someone with a “new perspective”.
That’s good…hopefully the “new perspective” in question will be “more like the original”. And maybe, just maybe, the “new perspective” will also be “good”. But considering it was a 3-D movie that took out Rob Zombie’s run, is this just a case of monkey see / monkey do in which they try to recover their losses on this one by emulating the movie that took them out?
This might be a bad move anyway, as, let’s be honest–it’s not the lack of 3-D that took Halloween 2 out of the running.
Every time…EVERY TIME!…I see something with Rob Zombie’s name on it I’m torn as to whether or not the appropriate response is to break down weeping or fly into a blind rage.
And I had that same horrible conflicted reaction tonight when I got a look at the disaster he’s going to make out of Halloween 2. Seems there’s a trailer that no one’s really been using yet, and there’s a good reason for it. It’s going to show, conclusively, the absolute HASH Zombie’s about to make out of one of the three biggest horror icons of the twentieth century.
It’s over here, if you want to take a look at it–keep your eye out for such horrible concepts as “Do As Mother Says, Jaso–uhhh…I mean, MICHAEL” and “Suddenly Doc Loomis Is A Self-Righteous Pedantic Moron Instead of a Self Loathing Hero”.
The worst of it was, as I watched that trailer, I was actually beginning to reconsider. Maybe, just maybe, the Broken Clock Theory would spring in and save Rob Zombie’s wreck of a career. And I was almost looking forward to see it when the last thirty seconds kicked in and shot that clear to hell.
All I know is, we’re gonna have a GRAND old time when the movie comes out.
This is a new Halloween 2 Trailer that premiered during the Spike TV Guy’s Choice Awards yesterday. The quality is pretty good and the horror movie looks scary. But I have seen scarier trailers.
The Halloween 2 news keeps coming, as Rob Zombie sent out word that he is bringing back Mark Christopher Lawrence to reprise his role as “Deputy King a member of the Haddonfield police force.”
Lawrence can be seen recently on NBC’s Chuck; he also appeared in Heroes.
Zombie is currently in pre-production on the upcoming sequel, hoping to start principal photography on February 23.
Jeffrey Daniel Phillips, Tyler Mane and Ezra Buzzington also star.
