In case you didn't know, writer/director Rob Zombie is doing a prequel/semi-remake of the 1978 classic horror film "John Carpenter's Halloween", that originally was directed by Carpenter, written by him & Debra Hill, and starred veteran Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her first acting role.
Rob Zombie reported that the film will not be a straight remake of the 1978 original, but rather an updated re-imagining. Like what he said in a MTV interview "it'll reach a similar feel but then go a different".
SYNOPSIS
After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, is mistakenly released from the mental institution (where he was committed as a 10 year old) and he immediately returns to Haddonfield, where he wants to find his baby sister, Laurie. Anyone who crosses his path is in mortal danger. The film will also go into the life of little Michael Myers and tell the story of why he decides to kill off his family.
CAST:
Malcolm McDowell - Dr. Sam Loomis
Daeg Faerch - Young Michael Myers
Tyler Mane - Adult Michael Myers
Scout Taylor-Compton - Laurie Strode
Danielle Harris - Annie Brackett
Kristina Klebe - Lynda
Sheri Moon Zombie - Deborah Myers
Brad Dourif - Sheriff Brackett
Hanna R. Hall - Judith Myers
Udo Kier - Morgan Walker
Dee Wallace-Stone - Cynthia Strode
Pat Skipper - Mason Strode
William Forsythe - Ronnie White
Jenny Gregg Stewart - Lindsey Wallace
Skyler Gisondo - Tommy Doyle

Yea, I doubt I'll see it. But what makes me laugh..
It is not be a straight remake of the 1978 original, but rather an updated re-imagining.
A Re-imaging is a fancing word for REMAKE! I just thinkn there are some movies that should be left alone. Halloween is one of those.

Dear God... Are there any dead cows people aren't trying to milk these days? I mean really, this franchise would have been better of if they left it dead at one movie; but instead (like Michael Myers) it just won't die!

It's Rob Zombie, so it'll probably be good... But after four decades of crappy sequals I'd just rather sit down and watch the original then look forward to a remake that probably won't come close to reinventing the series.

I looks pretty good.
Malcolm McDowell looks great as Loomis, hopefully he will live up to Donald Pleasence....
Does anyone know what it is rated?

The Halloween series was played out when the first movie ended, heheh. Every single sequel has been awful. The only reason I'll see this remake is because Rob Zombie is doing it. That gives me hope that it'll probably be a pretty good movie.
In comic book terms, think of it as "Ultimate Halloween."

funny how you all seem to have respect for rob zombies filmaking...a lot of people didnt like house of 1000 corpses and devils rejects, but I always tell people that thats more of a movie he made for himself and his own amuzement and just sharing it with the world...but the man can film!!! Watch the video for "Dreamer" by Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie directed that!!! But anyways- if anyone has seen halloween 5 (i think it was) it explains why michael went psycho and wanted to kill his sister...maybe this movie is retelling it all in a different way with a different motivation. If no one has seen Halloween 5 I`ll gladly tell you the story if yous want

Remakes are potentially a very sticky wicket. Especially if the the original film is a classic.
The Wicker Man and Get Carter remakes spring to mind as never should have been made calamaties, that were insults to the iconic originals, while Heat and The Departed are a couple of things were simply fantastic.
I'd be weary of this, Rob Zombie or not. |

Well, it's not such a risky endeavor for me, since I don't hold the original movie in the "all-time classic" status that some people do. It's a fun,nicely-made low-budget horror movie, and it's been very influential. But honestly, I feel it's overrated. I say, bring on the Zombie! The worst thing that'll happen is that it won't be any good.

ok well basically it was in Halloween 6 (not 5...sorry bout that) when they really explained what started it all. And the ending of halloween 5 featured michael captured in the county jail all beaten up and half dead and you think the movie is gunna end and everyones ok now...but then some explosion happens all the cops in the building get killed and u see some guy in the smoke with a shotgun wearing a hat and trench coat but u dont see his face...Basically he let michael go free and in Halloween 6 we see that this whole thing was part of some satanic cult. Some satanic cult was corupting and manipulating michael myers ever since he was a lil boy to do all these psychotic things and such and they gained control of him...but however in the movie things get bad and sort of like a frankenstein thing where the creator loses control if its creation and michael kills them off as well...so yea damn those devil worshipers!!! lol

You do know there are two different versions of Halloween 6, right? The one that you saw which was Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. And the one that was seen as better and explained more, which is the prodcuer's cut, called Halloween 666: The Origin of Michael Myers.
BTW, its obivious and it proven that the reason Michael goes after his family will be different.

NO! lol I did not know that but in that case yes I was talking about Halloween 6 The curse of Michael Myers....but yea very interesting, however to me I didnt like that in my personal opinion lol...A lil anticlimatic for me to have found out it was all the work of a stupid cult lol

Just for the fun of it, here are the differences seen in Halloween 666:
In the Producer's Cut, we learn more about the Thorn cult and Michael's past.
There is a reference that links the Thorn cult with the one featured in the third Halloween installment Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
Instead of Tommy Doyle, its Dr. Loomis who narrates in the scene where apply the thorn on the baby.
When Jamie is sleeping before she gets her baby back from the nurse, we see a flashback back in 1989 where we see Michael being loaded up in a van and young Jamie being taken by the Man in Black.
Kara performs a "chant" for Danny when he has his nightmare. She warns the "evil spirits" to stay away and reminds them that they "know the rules".
There is more dialogue between Loomis and Wynn when Wynn visits Loomis at his house. Wynn asks Loomis why he is "listening to this jerk" Barry Simms, and Loomis says he's recording it because it's a program about Haddonfield. He then goes on to say that he recently had plastic surgery, to remove some of the scarring on his face and "not frighten little children anymore". Then Wynn announces his plan to retire, thus bringing on the toast to "old friends".
Jamie Lloyd does not die in the beginning. In the barn, she is simply stabbed in the stomach.
The next morning, The Strodes are having breakfast. As John slaps Kara, we see Danny look outside the window and see The Shape. Dr. Wynn's voice echoes "Kill for him."
An extra scene of Debra and John watching Kara through the window as she leaves for college. Debra says "it's not about her, John... it's about you", and that she doesn't care what Kara has done in the past because she's their daughter. John replies by saying that Kara is no longer his daughter.
The scene with Dawn (Wynn's secretary) telling Loomis and Wynn that Jamie Lloyd's body has been found is extended. Wynn tells her to put the sanitarium on a "Code Red Lock-down" for 24 hours, and then says to Loomis that if Michael is alive, he plans on "bringing him back to Smith's Grove".
The scene where Loomis and Wynn drive to the farm is also extended. Because Jamie survives Michael's initial attack in this version, she is taken to hospital, and Loomis blames himself for everything as she is wheeled to an ambulance. He also has an encounter with the new Sheriff, who tells him that he and Wynn have "no business in Haddonfield", and to go back to their "loony bin".
When Kara is walking at school, she is stalked by Michael, much like Tommy was in the original film.
There are a few alternate angles during the scene where Debra finds out whose house they are really living in. Loomis goes into more detail about Michael, and when Debra is on the phone to John, there are again some alternate angles. Also, when she drops the phone, the dial tone can be heard, whereas it can't in the theatrical release.
While Jamie is in the hospital asleep, she dreams of being in the clutches of the Thorn cult. Michael appears and impregnating Jamie in a black and white flashback, it shows the man in black forcing Michael to do it. The Man in Black enters her room saying "Your work is finished now, Jamie." He then shoots her in the head with a silencer. Dr. Loomis soon after sees that she was killed and is deeply grieved.
The death of Barry Simms is more violent.
Dr. Wynn and Loomis have a longer discussion in Wynn's office. Wynn does admit being Michael's guardian and protector. After Loomis is knocked out, Dr. Wynn says to his associate, "Leave him there. It's his office now."
When Kara is held hostage at the cult's alter, she realizes Michael is the father of Jamie's baby. In the alternate ending, the Thorn cult tries to have Michael kill the baby to permanently end his bloodline and pass the Curse of Thorn onto Danny Strode.
In the original ending, Michael does not have a confrontation with Tommy Doyle. Instead, Tommy uses a circle of special stones to cancel out Michael's evil Thorn influence. When Michael steps within the circle, he is rendered immovable. Tommy is then able to escape safely and rejoin Kara, Danny, and the baby.
When Dr. Loomis returns inside the sanitarium, he unmasks Michael's body to find Dr. Wynn under the mask. He says to Loomis, "Michael...Michael's gone. It's your game now, Dr. Loomis." The Thorn symbol appears on Loomis' right wrist. He screams in terror and Michael escapes from the sanitarium dressed as the Man in Black. It is believed that Loomis must therefore maintain control over Michael. This ending was changed because Donald Pleasence had died before the film's official release. So, the filmmakers shot new footage and re-edited many scenes.
