A tiny bit more on that Zombie/Halloween thing


From Bloody-disgusting, "Now that the news is out (our reports here), every website on the planet is trying to squeeze Rob Zombie dry with information regarding his upcoming version of Halloween, which will hit theaters October, 2007. What we were told was that Zombie's vision of this film is an entirely new take on the legend and will satisfy fans of the classic "Halloween" legacy while beginning a new chapter in the Michael Myers saga.

Head over to Halloweenseries.com for the full interview and a fan made trailer:

Probably the only real new details to come from the interview is that Rob told the website that the film will be sort of a prequel and a remake combined, and that the film will take place in 1978 just like his last two films.

He also wrote the following interesting bit, "I just want to express that this is not meant to be in anyway some kind of shot for shot copy of Carpenter's original. We all know and love that film and creating something like that would be ****ing stupid.

I want this film to capture what is great about Carpenter's film, but be so different in style and execution that you won't feel the need to compare them. Even though I'm sure everybody will anyway."

Obviously there's not much to reveal just yet as the script hasn't even been written- and is sure to go under numerous revisions- but we'll keep you posted as more news comes in."

A prequel and a remake combined? Sounds like Zombie has been taking conversation courses with Avi Arad.
