A Zombieless Halloween Next Turn
So despite the fact that Halloween 2 got pounded in the ratings over the weekend, losing to both the fourth installment of Final Destination and the second week of Inglourious Basterds, the Weinstein company is planning to unleash a THIRD installment of the Halloween series, this time in 3-D.
But here’s the especially odd part–the Weinsteins will NOT be inviting Rob Zombie back to run it.
Hey, maybe that means we’ll get our next installment of Halloween WITHOUT Sheri Moon Zombie! That’d be kind of nice…Deborah Myers was supposed to be dead from the beginning. Word out of Camp Weinstein however is that they wanted someone with a “new perspective”.
That’s good…hopefully the “new perspective” in question will be “more like the original”. And maybe, just maybe, the “new perspective” will also be “good”. But considering it was a 3-D movie that took out Rob Zombie’s run, is this just a case of monkey see / monkey do in which they try to recover their losses on this one by emulating the movie that took them out?
This might be a bad move anyway, as, let’s be honest–it’s not the lack of 3-D that took Halloween 2 out of the running.
I am a very big Halloween fan and have been since the first one hit the movie screen. But this latest Halloween II sucks!!!!! Rob Zombie should be fired and never asked to do another one in my opinion. Maybe the directors of Texas Chainsaw can take on Halloween since they did such a good job with Friday the 13th. Going to see Halloween was such a waste of my money and time of my life that I will never get back
JPaul–you, sir, are preaching in the general direction of the choir. Well, except about the Friday the 13th remake–that didn’t turn out near as well as I’d have liked. But yes, Rob Zombie movies are generally lousy with few exceptions.
