Oh dear. That doesn't sound good.


Cheers, Chismeister.

Filming has apparently begun and there were protestors at the site!

As much as I am against the ideas Rob Zombie seems to want to use in this film, I dont think protesting against it will do anything else then give it more publicity.

This has to be one of the most interesting but bizarre productions in a while.

Oh Jesus. Things don't look like they're going very well at all.

Protestors on the set. That's hilarious. Oh well, I'm keeping my faith in Rob Zombie until the movie comes out. If it fails then it fails and everyone was right but if it succeeds then it'll be good for all.

Lorie Strode has been cast. How do you like these apples picked from the eternal fruit tree that is http://www.comingsoon.net:

Quoted Text Rob Zombie has cast actress/singer Scout Taylor-Compton (An American Crime, Sleepover) as Laurie Strode in his new take on Halloween at Dimension Films. Strode was originally played by Jamie Lee Curtis in the "Halloween" films. Also starring in the August 31 release are Malcolm McDowell, Daeg Faerch, Tyler Mane, Sheri Moon Zombie, Pat Skipper, Dee Wallace Stone, William Forsythe, Ken Foree, Lew Temple, Danny Trejo, Hanna Hall, Danielle Harris, Adrienne Barbeau, Clint Howard, Courtney Gains, Daryl Sabara, Heather Bowen, Brad Dourif, Udo Kier and Kristina Klebe. Halloween is currently shooting in Los Angeles.

Well there you have it, kids. There you have it.

LOL.......I know a girl who is in this.  How messed up is that.

Well, there are a few script reviews floating around at the moment and none of which really boost my hopes although the reviews seem to Zombie-friendly.

The most indepth one can be found here:

How real it is? Up to anyones guess really.

Personally, Im not into baseball and watersports and have a slight problem with them being used as something of a supposedly "disturbing" element.  Cant say Im surprised, it is Rob Zombie.

Anyhow, shall wait and see until I deliver my wrath.

Baseball and watersports as dangerous elements? I don't even see how that could work as a disturbing element without being really, really stupid. I mean someone could be forced to swallow a baseball bat, but that would look kinda funny.

I dunno. Something is off about that.

Shock-rocker turned director Rob Zombie has revealed the new Michael Myers from his re-imagining of Halloween




-Zavier

Update: Almost forgot, Bloody-Disgusting recently revealed the first ever picture of Michael Myers' house from the set of Rob Zombie's Halloween.

Hey he looks pretty creepy. Still think Jason is scarier. There's something about that hockey mask that freaks the hell out of me. But Zombie has a good vision for all things weird and terrifying, so at least the movie will have a good look.

The house looks pretty cool as well. Looks like the house a serial killer would live in. I'm guessing that's what they were going for.


Cheers, Chismeister.

Heres a little clip of whats happening with the new Halloween film.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNiXrFjpEY8

Looks pretty promising.

Im glad certain things have also been dropped from the early draft that was leaked earlier this year. I think the script that I read was decent and has a lot of potential. The dialouge was a shambles however so I expect that to be cleaned up something chronic.

Scenes that have been reported as being cut are below:

SPOLIERS









The masterbation / Animal killings

The little girl murder / Urination  ( I actually hope they keep this scene in, but remove the pointless pissing scene)

The baseball bat sodomy mention!

Dialouge changes ( as expected )

Michael no longer speaks as an adult ( I still would put money on him saying one thing at the end though)

A completly different ending ( Which is a shame as the ending I read was pretty impressive)

I also read that Dimension were behind a lot of the changes. I cant really blame them. They apparently do have a lot of faith in Rob Zombie and are supporting him but they are keeping a constant check on his changes.

I have to say Im a lot more positive about the film now then I was a few months back.

I have little hope in this film unless it is anything like the Hill's Have Eyes remake... if not, then it will most likely follow the same consant pattern of bad remakes that hollywood has been spitting out lately.

Personally, I am looking forward to the prequal segements of this film more then the remake. Its cliched as hell if it is going by the leaked draft, and I still dont think there is any need at all in remaking Halloween of all horror films.

But I have a feeling it will be quite surprisingly good.

Zombie seems to have put a couple of interesting ideas behind the movie.

Making Michael Meyers a more sympathetic, almost Frankenstein monster-esque character could go either way, but hopefully it works out for the best.

The cast is terrific, especially for a slasher flick.

But again, we'll have to wait till Halloween to see how the whole thing pans out.


Cheers, Chismeister.

The film has finished shooting and editing begins Monday.
A trailer is set to be on the Grindhouse movie which is April 6th I believe.

As for the title, well , surprise surprise, it will be called simply "Halloween".

No way! Boy, did not see that coming. I mean, seriously, where do they pull this stuff from? Jeez.

Anywho, I'm actually looking forward to this movie, which is strange, 'cause this isn't really my kind of movie. I'll be keeping an eye out for the trailer.

Cheers, Chismeister.
