It almost seems to good to be true but Rob Zombie will be directing the next Halloween film. I have not been the biggest fan of Zombies last two films but I do thing that the man has a great film in him and if it would be a Halloween film well then that would just be cool as hell.
Bloody Disgusting today posted that the film franchises official site has posted an interview with Zombie and they ask all the right questions. Here is just a snipit of the interview to read the rest click here and check it out for yourself.
Check this out first though:
QUESTION: Can you please clarify what you mean when you say you are "not making a sequel" and that your Halloween will be a "re-imagining" of the series? Isn't that just another word for "remake"? (from Cole in Chicago)
RZ: Well, sort of. I am basically making a prequel and a semi-remake of the first film all in one. So really in theory there will be more original content than remake content. That's why I don't like the word "remake."
QUESTION: What is the title of the next movie, and are you finished with the script yet? What can you reveal about the storyline of the new movie? (from Eric in Canada)
RZ: HALLOWEEN, no and not much.
QUESTION: For the next film, are you planning to maybe go into what Michael's childhood was like and how and why he became the serial killer he is? Is it at least going to take place in 1978? (from Sylvain)
RZ: Yes, I think this aspect of the story is very important in order to bring new life to the character of Mic
