Apparently, Halloween - Asylum.

A source got in touch with FANGORIA with some news about the ninth HALLOWEEN film, currently in development. "The new movie is called HALLOWEEN: ASYLUM," the scooper tells Fango, "and it’s being written by Matt Venne—whose spec horror script SECOND SIGHT is being produced by Clive Barker’s Seraphim Films—for SUICIDE CLUB’s Sion Sono to make his North American directorial debut. HALLOWEEN: ASYLUM is being set in Smith’s Grove, which became a maximum security penitentiary/asylum after the breakout of ’78. It’s filled with deranged killers and Michael is awaiting execution, harking back to the horror-hospital setting of HALLOWEEN II. This is not going to be some neutered VS. movie, not filled with campy one-liners, etc. Rather, it takes the iconic Michael Myers back to his roots in a very cool setting. It’s really serious/scary/suspenseful in tone, like all the best HALLOWEEN films have been." No one from the HALLOWEEN camp has officially confirmed these details, but we’ll let you know more as we find it out. —Michael Gingold

i doubt this personally, it seems to fan made, but hey, its got to be better then the last one.

Here's some info on the film courtesy IMDb:

Lets hope this film is not made I mean I love the Halloween series but enough is enough, let it die already....

Well if they must write continue the series then they should go to Halloween 10 and end it there.
Any further then that and they're just beating a dead horse with a stick.

As long as it does well at the box office, there will be another. And then another.
Should have ended it at H20, that was a great ending.

It's also DVD sales, Resident Evil both did mediokre i believe in theatres but DVD sales cleaned up, PA even mentioned the reason the film did so well was the dvd sales.

I'll admit it, I bought Halloween Resurrection on dvd and enjoy it. Out of every dvd I'v ever bought I only hate 1 which is Head of State, really lame film so I think I've been lucky in my film selection.

I enjoy 1 or 2 of these films now and than, but when you get into 3 times viewing it they start to show there weaknesses and you understand how all the cry babies feel but it's important that you enjoythem for what they are and not cry over water under the bridge.

The Weinstein Brothers are planning to remake the film-

Wow this is the greatest idea ever...  

Why don't they just make another sequel though? I enjoyed Busta Rhymes fake sickly karate.

Why screw with a film people already like, if they remake Friday The 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street as well they really will go to hell... Maybe they should stop making crappy films and give this money to Hurricane survivors and the poor instead of paying bad actors big salaries for nothing.

There are some movies out there that are good ideas that were badly executed. I wouldn't mind remakes of those movies to clean up whatever went wrong the first time. The trouble is people don't remake clunker movies to make them better; they remake classics to make a buck off of them.

Halloween is a well made film that despite its character flaws, still manages to do what it is meant to do and be very creepy. There is no need to remake this film or "update it for a modern audience." What would be the purpose? I guess so those people who refuse to watch movies older than they are will watch it.

Talk about a pet peeve (to only change the subject slightly)...why do people not watch movies older than they are? I watched a show once where the question was "Who directed the 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange?" The idiot responded, "I don't know. I wasn't born until 1974." Where do these idiots come from, and why don't they know about VHS or DVD or even Laserdisc?

If it makes you feel better George I'm trying to buy the original Frankenstein Legacy Collection which is really older than I am. I just am not sure if it's worth 40 bucks or not and all of the reviews I've seen are not helping my decision.

They're making another Mortal Kombat movie but it's probably straight to crappy DVD in the bargain bin to die faster than a suicide bomber on a mission.

Hopefully this news will turn into another false rumour concerning a new Halloween film.
I would certainly welcome a new part in the series but certainly not a remake. What is the point in that? (Mind you, same could be said for the last film in the series.)

This recent remake fad was really bugging me in any case, but to redo a film that was only made in 1978 is just stupidity.

I've watched 3 of the 5 movies on the Frankenstein Legacy. Strangely, as the sequels go on, they get better (as long as you ignore the strange lack of continuity between films when it comes to the Frankenstein estate). Frankenstein was all plot, no character. The Bride of Frankenstein was all character, no plot. And The Son of Frankenstein had a refreshing mix of both and was 30 minutes longer because of it (not to mention starring Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, AND Bela Lugosi...that's a 1940 all star cast). It was due back at the library before I watched the last two. Someday I'll check it out again and finish it.

You're probably right. Unless there is a compelling dramatic storyline behind all the fighting, it will likely be crap. I am attempting to write a zombie movie for an ultra low budget filmmaker, and I spent a lot of time not focusing on zombies. He's a gorehound wanting to kill, hack, and slash with blood and gore and boobies, and so far, I have a 44 page script (note: quite unfinished at this point, but hey,  it's only been two days since I started ) with only 2 deaths, a quest for a cure, a love triangle, a budding romance, and no boobies. I told him we could add in the gratuitious violence in the way of random deaths between the core storyline scenes later...and that I'd work on the boobies.

He says it's "kickass" but I suspect he's imagining where he'll put the topless zombies...yeah, he said topless zombies...don't worry -- remember the compelling dramatic storyline. You're all thinking about topless zombies, aren't you? Oy.

To sum up: Halloween Remake? Don't mess with a classic.  

i agree remakes usually mess up the film...but i can'tyt help but be curious how they will remake such a classic? ZFor eg. wil lit have the great score from the orignal? Will Micheal be as menacing? This possibilities are good, but there's ne thing they can't remake-the effect the origanal had on the audience. The orriganal created the slasher genre, the nesw one cant do that. Slashers have been around foerr ages, and people hate the things. So im jkjust curious how they will make this piece of carp.

Halloween didn't create the slasher genre. Nor did it create the menacing monster walking around going for unsuspecting teens. Psycho did a part in creating this aspect, but Halloween is, in essence, a monster movie which have been around as long as films have (Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula, etc.). The Mummy had four sequels that (true to form) disregarded the original story, blew the continuity using some of the original footage, and made a monster lumber around and somehow kill people. Halloween created nothing new in the industry. What it did do was bring it back. It drew on al those ancient films and ideas and brought them to the modern audience of 1978. It did this without remaking any of those old movies that had done it before.

Halloween was and still is a great movie. John Carpenter did a great job bringing all the elements together and turning out a good product. If someone is itching to try and bring the monster movie back to life, they should do what John Carpenter did: create your own monster and your own story and make it an original piece using those tried and true elements. Gus Van Sant tried to remake Psycho frame by frame. It failed. Why? Because people still wanted to watch the original. A remake of Halloween will also fail.

While I agree HALLOWEEN was nothing new, it wasn't then and it isn't now... It is still a good flick and it doesn't garner a remake. Maybe a new edit, but not a remake.  

As for slasher films... TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE and if you want to get really technical, even before it in 1963, BLOOD FEAST created the slasher genre.  Psycho wasn't really a slasher movie, not to me... it wasn't even good, really... It was a blue print I suppose.

Anyways, maybe in the remake of HALLOWEEN they can fix the absurdity in a DR carrying a gun around and all them palm trees looming around in the background of HADDONFIELD ILLINOIS. LOL!
