Rob Zombie Returning for HalloweeN 2?

credit Ryan Rotten for this news:

Too good to let slide until we get some hard facts, a morsel of info has come our way regarding a sequel to Rob Zombie's Halloween.

It's been widely reported at this point that Inde helmers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo have parted ways with Dimenon Films and Trancas International's proposed Halloween 2, leaving the door open to anyone. An inder phoned in this afternoon excluvely informing ShockTillYouDrop.com that Rob Zombie is going to reprise his duties as director and carry on the new Myers legacy that he forged with Tyler Mane behind the mask.

Where does that leave Tyrannosaurus Rex? Well, according to our source, the project is on hold for now nce Halloween 2 is expected to start shooting in March. But questions remain: If this is true, has Zombie been at work on a story? Is a script complete? Will a script be complete by March? The man is busy hatching his new album, where's his focus?

There's much to conder.

I'm going to go ahead and say with about 98% certainty that Rob will not do the sequel. Unless of course he completely sells out and gives in to the promise of some ridiculous amount of money. He washed his hands of Halloween when he shot Michael in the face.

Rob Zombie?.......NNNNOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOO!

lol....now let me say this...I LOVE....LOVE...f'ing LOVE House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects. Love em alot. It would have been a daunting task for ANYONE to remake a clasc film such as HALLOWEEN and I think ultimately it was doomed to fail. To me....Rob's style fits House/Rejects fine....I could have envioned him doing a great job at the LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT remake and he'd be my choice for a remake of I DRINK YOUR BLOOD....his crass characters and uber sleazy dialogues would fit well. But they didnt go over well in Halloween for me. I know he tried his best not to just copy the original but sadly HIS "original" ideas that he brought to the film sucked. Im beating a dead horse here but I hope he doesn't do H2......that being said there CAN be worse. Lets not go there but shit I was stoked when the INDE guys were on board.

(off topic de note...watching RAW and Cena f'ud KANE....pretty sweet. the guy is strong as an ox)

A new legacy? Jesus...

off topic but Cena is a freaking beast! I saw that, hell he has f'ud the big show if I remember correctly! now back to the topic....

His focus is mess the horror culture. I don't like too much his songs. Some are nice, but he's a stupid talking about things he doesn't believe, drinking tomato juice on the stage as it were blood. Mas, he's nuts! And if someone here still think that Rob Zombie Halloween remake is a great idea, think twice and watch House of 1000 Corpses again and again. You'll change your opinion. He fucked up with the first, damn! Why he doesn't go to the muc and be quiet there???

I'd like to believe this but I've seen (not read but actually seen) interviews with Zombie and from his own mouth . . . "he won't do another one".

But that's the great thing about Hollywood, never say never.

I've said this before.

If there is a sequel, Rob is the only one who should direct it.

No matter how you feel about his style of movie making or vion of Michael Myers, he has started the new direction of Halloween and should be the one to continue it.

Hey Snowballz, I don't think so. Maybe you have a different view of the first movie, but tell the truth: did you like it? Don't you think that Myers story as a little retarded with a problematic family is a complete rubbish? Remeber that different than F13TH, where Jason is a supernatural killer, his story is shown on the first movie, so we can live with the fact that he cannot be killed. But now, knowing Myers is just one more problematic kid, what you say? He took shots, were eletrocuted, stabbed, cursed..... The success of Halloween is all about the mistery around him. JC started everything only showing him killing his syster, and then is just mistery. The script does'nt explain nothing, only follow Myers in his pathway, and this take us near from him.

But now we know that he kills because his mother were a stripper....

Rob Zombie's remake made a lot of money for the studio.

No matter how many people bitch and whine, there will be another Halloween remake.

Who better than the new screenwriter/director to continue the new story?

I say let RZ do the sequel.

I think it would be better to have someone continue on with their vion of the movie versus having multiple directors and then we end up with what happened in the original halloween series.

The RZ veron wasn't bad at all, you just need to stop comparing it to the originals and look at it as its own.

But of course, that's typical of him and his view of things. Like you said...the MYSTERY was absolutely KEY to making the character of Michael Myers scary.

It's hard to not compare it when it's a remake of a movie that's already been made. Some people say "re-imagining"... I say bullshit. A remake is a remake. Don't try to sugarcoat that shit. The Fly, The Thing... they were remakes, and they were good.

Amen to this, bro

i hope they do bring him back. it was his vion in the first place. good or bad it should be his vion for the sequel....

So he should use glasses...

Am I the only one that LOVES "House of 1000 Corpses" and "Devils Rejects"???? Im seeing these flicks bashed on other forums and Im like wtf!? RZ's HALLOWEEN was kind love it or hate it...I was in between I guess but cmon his first two efforts imo solidify him thus far as an important horror director. Im starting to think more and more at this point Rob should be at the helm. With people dropping off etc maybe he's the one who can right the ship. time will tell.

I liked House Of 1000 Corpses, and I loved The Devil's Rejects. I was actually surprised when I heard that he was going to remake HalloweeN because up until then, he had been doing his own, totally original stuff... and was successful with it. I'm a Rob Zombie fan, just more so when he's doing original films.

Your not alone Ghoul, I LOVED Devil's Rejects (1 of my top 5 favorite horror films) and call me crazy but didn't mind H9 (yikes!). It was a whole new movie and couldn't be like the original, in fact I think it was great that it was so far from the original. It made for an entertaining film and it made you appreciate the original even more. (yikes!) I know please don't fault me for saying something decent nice about H9.oh and the mask rocked! (yikes!

)

Booman im happy to hear you appreciate "Rejects"....its one of my favs of all time as well. I left the theatre with a feeling I never had before. Maybe if I had been old enough to see such gems as LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT or MANIAC in the theatre Id know what that was like but "Rejects" was my best horror experience at the movies. And you're right about H9 as well....really now-WHO could have done a 100% great job redoing THE clasc? the answer is noone. If you approach the movie as its own entity it is a killer horror flick. You cant compare it to the original. its kinda like a modern Death Metal band covering a clasc MAIDEN song. Are they going to do it much justice? probably not but a good band will still make it a kick ass song!

I saw H9 with my wife and her best friend who arent horror freaks like us but they are solid horror fans and they said it was one of the most fun and scary movies theyve seen. (they also had an interesting slant on Sheri/Mom...maybe because they were girls/moms themselves but they thought she was excellent in the portion of mikey being in the psychward til she kills herself) I think a lot of us have really OVERANALYZED Zombie's film frame by frame. Its been dragged around the walls of troy like hector and maybe its time that we stop and give the guy a chance. This message was paid for by Robert Zombie Inc....lol...no but really. Lets see what he can do!

I'm just saying that RZ ISN'T a director, not bad, not good. He's mucian, man, and as a nger isn't pretty good though. Devils Rejects was a good movie, not great, but good. One thing I have to agree with that who likes RZ films: if someone can do a freak horror and disgusting movie, it's Rob Zombie. But I hope his carreer as director finish soon...

I'll say this for Rob Zombie....White Zombie was once an unknown squatter/sludge band that played every shitty dive in Manhattans lower east de. I used to go to the hardcore matinees at the time. We started seeing these ck homemade (rob drew them) flyers that advertised White Zombie's shows and the art alone is what made me check them out. At this time Rob was delivering pizza's at a place called Strombolis. The flyers would usually have some ck old school monsters and one I remember said "Live black magic ritual!"

Rob has been a pioneer in muc thats the only way to put it. He literally came from shit and played muc that lets face it not many people liked. "Make Them Die Slowly" was their first lp. The guy has loved horror and dedicated his life to it. Im a fan. EVERYONE has a f' up somewhere on their resume.....Is every Sam Raimi; Spielburg; Lucas; Coscarelli etc etc etc film good?

That's a good point, but he doesn't invented this style that, between us, isn't good enough. Bands Like KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Godsmack, Slipknot, White Zombie and many others tried to do something new at metal genre, and fucked up. I don't care if they want mess with the muc, because are their own muc they're fuckin with, but why to do this to the movies? You said he dedicate his life to horror? So Glen Benton could be the next great director of our time, but he rather stay with muc, just like the others great mucians. The man is ck, not retarded. I respect your taste for muc, 'cos there are great bands popping up around, but not even there RZ have success, though. And I think YES, Raimi, Craven, Burton, Spielberg, etc, they are good, and as long they live I'd rather they make the good films. When they die probably I'll stop to see horror movies...
