Are you aware she is only 14 or 15? How can she play such a big role at that age in an R rated film? They usually use older teenagers or 20 year olds and call them teenagers.

Judging by her age and the release of the original Jamie Lee Curtis was about 20 when it came out which goes to what I was saying and no Andrea Bowen cannot be hot because if it's an R Rated movie like I know everybody would want older guys will go see it and well do you think we want to see a 15 year as hot?

I'm just saying that probably given her age, no chance in hell she'll get the part unless it becomes a PG-13 film and even than probably not.

I'm thinking they'd use a girl like... Eliza Dushku or Emmanuelle Chriqui but to me they all look the same.

Quoted from Jdawg2006
okay... back on topic... who should play the new laurie?

my vote goes to andrea bowen, teri hatcher's daughter on desperate housewives. she's plain enough, but still she can be pretty hot.

i think a Halloween remake is better than another sequel. when you look back on the franchise, it's not really that great. the original is probably the best one, and it's not that scary anyway. if they make a remake, it'll be good as long as the stick to the original concept, just have michael meyers be some fucked up psychopath. why's he gotta be laurie's brother? that's too complicated for a good-old-fashioned slasher flcik. maybe the remake could actually be scary!!?? maybe that's too much to ask, though



No,forget that. i want to know who will play Dr. Loomis? i was thinking about the guy that played the priest in "The Exorcism of Emily Rose",Tom Wilkinson. he seems like he could fit the part.

How the heck is a new remake of Halloween better than a sequel?  Halloween was a great film, tarnished by like 6 sequels, the latest being Resurrection which ranks high on my list of worst films of all time.

Why do we care about a remake?  Oh we get to see one of film's biggest killing icons through the eyes of someone else even though he's exactly the same.  I'm sorry, I'm not trying to sound like a prick, but when this film comes out I will cuss for several hours.

Which was worse?  Jason X or Halloween Resurrection?  Hey!  That's a good poll question!

I'm to the point of not even fighting remakes no more. They're gonna happen. They're gonna suck. People will love them cause they're cutting edge and trendy and the story will end. Happy and ten fold.

I'm sick of remakes. I'm sick of follow ups. I want originality. I don't see why everyone black balls independent horror films so much... along with low budget ones. They are the only ones who are getting this shit right! Hollywood is so far shot thru the ass it can't stand the taste of its own food no more.

Halloween was flawed, yes. It had palm trees all over the place and could be seen in nearly everyone of the day shots.

Michael Myers didn't get his mask until 43 minutes into the movie, yet he had the mask on when Tommy got his pumpkin smashed and ran into him at school. He also had it on when Jamie lee dropped the key off at the house and he walked outside and watched her walk down the sidewalk.

I mean, the movie was flawed with no continuity... BUT... it was still a classic. It's still good to this day and it still holds up very well.

That's the funny thing... all these movies they are remaking... still do hold up well. They are all still better than the new counter parts and all the follow ups that will follow them... I'm so sick over remakes of brilliant horror movies.

I'm just glad Fulci's shit can't be tarnished. Thanks in part to Saige Stallon buying up the rights to all of his work except his final project... which was never finished.

I'd just die if Hollywood got their paws on his movies. They'd loose every single thread of what made them what they were. I swear, if I had to see a Hollywood fucking mockery of DR. FREUDSTEIN on the big screen... I'd throw my milk duds and bottle of water at the screen and protest!

DR. FREUDSTEIN is the most horrific. Ghastly. Scary. Creepy. Haunting horror movie figure of all time. Nothing can ever come close to this man... he's just... I'm, to this day, still housing fear for this man. Fulci created the most bizzare movie monster of all time and he'll never be given credit for it.  It's a sad sad world we live in.

Balt the only way to escape bad film remakes is to move to a country where they don't show American film for about 5 years and by then nobody will care.

Or you could just get drunk and forget about it the old fashioned way, either is good.

Well the numbers will start to show that we're sick of remakes/adaptations/sequels.  It seems like Hollywood put more effort into the R/A/S department rather than the original stories, because the original stories especially this summer stunk!  I just did a presentation on why the summer box office stunk, and aside from marketing and junk, I came to an interesting figure.  The combined budgets of the following: Dark Water, Rebound, The Brothers Grimm, Stealth, The Island, Bewitched, Valiant, A Sound of Thunder, XXX was a whopping $830 million dollars.  Collectively, they grossed a horrendously bad $275 million, a loss of over $550 million.

That's just the summer.  If these numbers continue in upcoming years then Hollywood will finally realize "Hey, maybe we should try to come up with some better original stories because our R/A/S's stink!"  I mean come on, does "The Three Stooges" with 3 females sound incredibly fantastic?

I guess I'll believe it when I see it. I've had this one on my Netflix list forever, and it never seems to actually surface. Maybe they'll let it die a slow painless death.

According to Fangoria, shock-rocker turned filmmaker Rob Zombie (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects) may be in talks to steer the next Michael Myers film.

that would be interesting, I loved the devil's rejects, maybe he can pump up some fresh blood into the series, even though it seems almost impossible after the last one.

I just hope it isn't like Halloween 3 where it has nothing to do with the other films.

As long as Micheal Myers does go into outer space and kill people lol you know a horror series has hit bottom when the bad guy shows up in space - Jason, Leprechaun, Hellraiser.

Quoted from James McClung
Apparently, Rob Zombie is directing (remaking?) a "new" Halloween.

Here's the link:

http://comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14833

All I have to say is... lame. I'd always thought Rob Zombie would lend a hand at bringing back some old-school style horror but apparently I was wrong. Probably should've known better. Again... lame.


Look four posts up. (from yours)
