Rob Zombie signed on for Halloween III????

I saw earlier today on Bloody Disguting.com that Rob has gned on for a remake/re-imaging of Halloween III. This just proves that nothing is safe and certainly that money talks. I will try and find the link again so everyone can see it. It had a trailer/teaser also for it and actually looked fairly good as much as I hate to say it. It has already been rumored that Bill Mosley will be playing the part of Dr. Challis and looks like d Haig as Cochran and Sherri Moon Zombie as Ellie Greenbridge.

Let us all hear what you think of this idea.

I heard something about that....They were going to put Tyler Mane in there as one of the robot assasns, as an homage to the Dick Warlock assasn in the original.

I think it's a horrible idea though, the original is a clasc.

I'm sure Rob will make everyone white trash and drag one of my favorite films through the crapper....
DarkArtist81 Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 01:56 AM | 50503
I saw this too and I was completely shocked. Just Wow. They even played the SSN theme song!
H30 Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 01:57 AM | 50504
Bloody-Disgusting just pulled the story not sure why.

I still have the screen up though, I can't believe they are doing this!
Horror Domain - Cursed Evil Overlord Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 01:58 AM | 50505
WHY??!!! Oh WHY!!????!
H30 Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 02:00 AM | 50506
I'm sure they will have Dr. Challis with huge deburns and long hair or something and ruin the character forever for me.....

WORST IDEA EVER!

DarkArtist81 Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 02:01 AM | 50507
I just hope they keep as near to the rigional story and certainly don't f@ck with the lver Shamrock theme. The idea of Tyler being one of the assans would not shock me. I can't imagine what Wayne Toth would do to the masks either as I am sure he would be who Zombie gets to do the fx.
cropsy Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 02:03 AM | 50508
other than part 2 H3 is one of my favorites in the series after i saw this tidbit earlier all i could say to my self is "great another white trash rob zombie remake"

why did they take it down already??????

this just once again proves rob is a liar and a money grubbing whore with no originality

what are the SSN masks going to be this time? a spaulding mask a baby mask and a tiny mask?

i bet the movie takes place in a trailer park too!

stop with the damn remakes already!!!!!

Johnny Bisco Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 02:05 AM | 50509
Oh No! The masks are all going to have ROT marks on them! Good grief!

Johnny Bisco Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 02:09 AM | 50512
I just don't see why people no matter how much they hate Rob and his remakes need to start crap with me over this.

I have never started any crap with anyone. Sorry this may not be news everyone wanted but I thought people would want to hear about it.
cropsy Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 02:16 AM | 50513
I dont see why the fuck Rob is condered a money loving whore......we ALL work. The guy is lucky to do what he wants and all of y'all would be fibbing pretty big if you wouldnt want to be in his shoes financially. Who wouldnt want to make horror films for a living??? I do independent films and love every exhausting minute of it. I can only imagine how amazing it would be to be in charge of a big box office gig!

It boils down to the fact that its an industry thats governed by the studios....Rob had T Rex going. It was practically buried by the Weinsteins and wasnt going to see the light of day unless Rob did H2. Thats a fact.

For all we know Rob might have 5 original scripts of his own......its a weird time in the industry due to the economy. The studios want to invest in films that will guarantee a lucrative return at the box office. Remakes...love them or hate them do better than 99% of original horrors that come out these days. The SAW franchise was the one big exception. So why shouldnt RZ take on H3?
ny ghoul Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 03:07 AM | 50517
this is the greatest news ive heard in a long time. i can't wait to see rob's take on h3. he can make it over the top with the creepiness and have the town all run down. any idea on when this might release?

well i looked more into this and i just saw a report about this same topic on the webte slash-films. they said they werent sure if it was true or not but the story is out there. that may be why bloody pulled it, it may be just a rumor. am i the only one that thinks its a grea idea?

im not sure if its a great idea or not. part of me thinks it would be funny as hell to see him take it on but i just cant see anyone other than tom atkins as challis. with all the remakes out there this doesnt surprise me. if bloody pulled the article though it may just be a rumor.

This is in no way a shot at Rob Zombie. I am actually quite a fan of his work but I just don't want to see Halloween III remade. It's such a clasc campy movie that does well with its lower budget and funny almost absurd screenplay. Even though this is just a rumor I wouldn't be surprised if it gets made.
Dunge44 Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 06:11 AM | 50526
is rob zombie going to remake all the halloween films
jad Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 07:30 AM | 50527
I might as well throw my two cents in here.

I've never been a big fan of Halloween 3.

I've seen it a few times, and it just never found that place in my heart like the original did.

Unlike the original Halloween, I think there is actually a lot of room for improvement on this particular installment, so I'm hoping that this rumor is true.

I'd also really like to see a new take on the masks.

I can already imagine the new Shamrock trio tting right under my retro set.

gummi Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 08:00 AM | 50528
This movie is still hated by many, except some few hardcore Halloween fans like myself, so what is the point in making a film that wasn't well-received in the first place?

Honestly, I don't think it even matters at this point.

I'd venture to guess that the majority of people that would line up to see this movie have never even seen the original.

It's been proven that Rob Zombie's name attached to the Halloween franchise is a big ticket seller, so the studio will want to ride that wave as long as they can.

what he said ^! they will squeeze the money out of the franchise anyway they can. i am shocked this is being talked about being remade.

i don't know whether this is true or not but this is the greatest idea ive ever heard. i really think h3 needs to be remade and who better than rob zombie? who i ask you?

Maybe a little new spin on this couldn't hurt and like some others have said, it was a good movie but not great. It has a lot of cool elements though that could be built upon in a remake. I'm for this.

HALLOWEEN III is one of my favourite Halloween season movies to watch. Of course it doesn't need to be remade but so long as it is? Im glad RZ is at the helm.

No I agree with you ny ghoul. If it's going to be remade I have no qualms about Rob Zombie directing it. Like I said, I don't think it needs to be remade but if they do Zombie is a fine choice. I just hope the script doesn't get to crazy. This is still just a rumor though right?
Dunge44 Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 09:51 PM | 50555
Wow, that, to me, just tells me Rob can do no wrong for you guys...

I suppose you'd love to see the Kupfer boy's death be a bloody exploon of his head with the room and his parents covered in blood instead of just SBWM?

Wait a minute! I thought you loved Rob Zombie? That's what your banner says? I'm not saying Rob's movies are for everyone but if not him directing H3 then who?
Dunge44 Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 10:05 PM | 50558
Sam Raimi's name was thrown around elsewhere. I think he would be a not too shabby choice.

Rob is not and can not turn every thing he remakes into gold. In fact, nothing he has done is gold. Devil's Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses are fun to watch but nothing to drool over.

Sam Raimi would actually be an excellent choice I think. I hadn't heard his name mentioned yet but I could see that working. However I think Rob would bring that dark gritty feeling that he is so popular for to H3 that I can see working better than Raimi's over the top nature. I don't know now you got me thinking.
Dunge44 Tuesday 7/21/2009 at 10:55 PM | 50560
Halloween III (and no other Halloween for that matter) should have a gritty style, that is meant for the likes of Texas Chainsaw and Friday the 13th, which, unfortunately for Rob, have already been taken. Watch all the Halloween's (excluding Rob's) and tell me which has any grittiness. Maybe Halloween 5 but it really isn't that gritty at all. Just the farm scene gives it that.

Dren you know you love the "gritty" style! Guys Dren acts all anti Rob Zombie but I have been to his house. Nothing but Zombie posters and every film project Rob has worked on is tting in a glass case along with hand gned scripts and autographs. Sorry Dren but the TRUTH is out!!!!!

Horror Domain - Cursed Evil Overlord Wednesday 7/22/2009 at 04:30 AM | 50573
Halloween III is slow paced; moody and dark. Its part 80's horror and part film noir. Sam Raimi? I dont see his phycal; comedic and over the top style of horror fitting in here. I'd give the nod to Jonathan Demme or Ridley Scott or someone else.

I can handle Sherri Moon, and Bill Mosley is okay, but Haig is not a good choice. I'd rather see someone else remake it, but we don't have a say in that matter.

I hope he does not make it.If he does make this movie it will be trash. Theres alot of Halloween fans pissed at him for just making a remake of "Halloween"

and now is think about making H3.His H2 film will probably suck..I myself think its a shit idea,RZ should have just stayed with making muc.
The-Monster Saturday 7/25/2009 at 06:54 PM | 50811
Anyone ever find the link to the trailer/teaser that some had talked about. I am dreading this idea even more after reading the reviews from the screenings of H2.

I wouldn't get that excited yet. This is all just rumor.
DrenTheLiar Sunday 7/26/2009 at 01:41 PM | 50922
Never said I was excited over this and certainly be it rumor or not the idea is out there and IMO has to be thought of as something terrible nce Zombie certainly being your all time favorite Dren(lol j/k) is destroying H@ with this stupid crap so his wife can have a job. I also must admit with the pathetic way Hollywood can't come up with any origional ideas this would not shock me.
cropsy Sunday 7/26/2009 at 02:13 PM | 50925
It is sad that Hollywood can't come up with a fresh idea for horror anymore.

I mean, when was the last icon introduced?

The Saw films are really the closest we have and they really suck IMO.

Nothing like what we had back in the day.

Rob had a chance to make a truly different film, but instead he took a few elements from the original, combined that with a little Jason and little Texas Chainsaw and voila!

I can only imagine what horrors would be unleashed upon us if he did H3.

God we need some good horror writers to emerge soon, I just want to see a really good original slasher again.

There have been some ok ones in recent years, but nothing good enough to leave a lasting mark.
DarkArtist81 Friday 7/31/2009 at 03:46 AM | 51242
As a fan I look forward to his movies and I enjoy his vion immensely. maybe its the style of horror I like. Films I hold dear to me (LHOTL; NY RIPPER; MANIAC; and many more) don't seem to be popular choices and thats fine. Rob's grittiness brings me back to the era of horror cinema that I enjoy most...the 70's into the early 80's. The times before political correctness.

I laugh though because in a few years a new director will be tied to the whipping post. I recall a few years ago it was Eli Roth and his brand of "porn-gore" that had people reaching for torches and pick axes. Now its RZ...this will come to pass. Anyone wanna take bets who's the next one to be burned at the stake?
