Even though not everyone appreciated the crap that Rob Zombie took on the Halloween franchise with 2007's unforgettably bad 're-imagining,' one thing was always certain; there would be a sequel. And now, come 2009, after about three months of shooting, production on the movie is almost finished and the studio is aiming for an August release date. Yikes, talk about rushing things along!
Despite his initial claims of having no interest in directing a second outing, Zombie revealed that he was attached to this project at the beginning of the year, and has since then shown great excitement over his plans to further ruin one of the greatest horror legends of our time with his shitty vision of 'what Michael Myers should really be like.'
Needless to say, I'm less than excited about this movie. However, I also know that there are (unfortunately) lot's of people looking forward to wasting their money, so I'm posting this bad news with them in mind. Yesterday, a compilation of footage from the film was screened on Entertainment Tonight. Clips include Danielle Harris being chased by a maskless Michael, along with some gruesome stabbings and a trippy dream sequence.
Michael will be shedding his iconic mask for
a good portion of the upcoming film, which hits
theatres this Summer.
Yes, that's right, I said maskless. A maskless Michael Myers. It's almost as if Zombie is actually trying to piss hardcore fans off by making all these unnecessary changes to the character. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Michael ends up speaking some dialogue in this movie, because that's the only thing I can think of that would be more ridiculous than showing him without his mask on.
I could talk about my disdain towards this project for hours, but I think I'm going to cut my post short here. So, what do you think? Has Zombie fucked things up, or is he on the right track? My opinion don't mean nothin', but yours does. Tell me what's up!
