Thumbs down Ugh ... Rob Zombie to direct Halloween remake

This is complete horseshit. Firstly, Halloween is a classic, I know people throw that word around but this one is a definitive classic. It still airs on TV, and not even just during Halloween. The franchise put a sequel out in 2002, so I'd call it a pretty active franchise, unlike Dawn Of The Dead, Amityville, and Texas Chainsaw which were long dead.

My main beef is Zombie, I liked House of 1,000 Corpses, and I hated Devils Rejects. I just don't want to see his nitwit wife running around in Jamie Lee Curtis's role and I don't want to see any of his freakshow characters in a Halloween movie. I don't want a Halloween film that's going to have Ramones and Skynard songs in it.

Ugh....

DIMENSION FILMS TO MAKE NEW “HALLOWEEN” FILM;
AUTEUR FILMMAKER ROB ZOMBIE TO WRITE AND DIRECT

Trancas International Films to Produce Along With Rob Zombie and Andy Gould


NEW YORK, NEW YORK (June 4, 2006) – Dimension Films is proud to announce that they will make a new “Halloween” movie with Rob Zombie (The Devil's Rejects, House of 1000 Corpses) writing, directing and serving as a producer. Malek Akkad of Trancas International Films (Halloween H20: 20 Years Later) will produce the feature along with Andy Gould of Vision Entertainment Group (The Devil's Rejects, House of 1000 Corpses). Zombie will also serve as music supervisor on the film. Miramax Films will co-finance the development with Dimension Films. The announcement was made today by The Weinstein Company co-chairman, Bob Weinstein.

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. This new movie will not only appeal to horror fans, but to a wider movie-going audience as well. It will not be a copycat of any prior films in the "Halloween" franchise. The film is set for an October 2007 theatrical release.

Bob Weinstein stated, "Rob Zombie is a gifted musician and performer as well as a talented filmmaker. His vision for this new 'Halloween' is spectacular and I am thrilled to be collaborating with him and to work closely with Malek Akkad to continue the legacy built by his father, the late Moustapha Akkad."

Zombie said, "I have been a huge, huge fan of John Carpenter's original film since its release. So when Bob Weinstein approached me about this, I jumped at the chance to join forces with Dimension Films on this amazing project."

The "Halloween" story began with the 1978 release of "John Carpenter's Halloween," executive produced by the late Moustapha Akkad, founder of Trancas International Films and became the highest grossing independent film of the time. Moustapha Akkad's son, Malek, is now taking some of the reigns on this new "Halloween" project to continue the outstanding work begun by his father. Malek Akkad stated, "Trancas is very excited to be working with Rob Zombie and producing another 'Halloween' with Bob Weinstein and Dimension, the home of the franchise for the last three installments. It will be a fitting and worthy tribute to my late father."

"I am thrilled to be working again with Rob and with Dimension Films on such an iconic project that will reinvigorate 'Halloween' and Michael Myers in a truly terrifying new way," stated Andy Gould, Rob Zombie's long time manager and producer of Zombie's two previous films.

Richard Saperstein, president of production, Matthew Stein, senior vice president of production and Alex Franklin, director of development and production will oversee the project on behalf of Dimension. Bret McCartney of Trancas International will oversee production on behalf of Trancas.

Andrew Kramer, executive vice president of business and legal affairs, and Lumumba Mosquera, senior vice president of business and legal affairs, negotiated on behalf of Dimension Films. Attorneys David Fox and Jeffrey Light of Myman Abell Fineman Greenspan & Light negotiated on behalf of Rob Zombie. Attorney Wayne Kazan of Weissmann Wolff Bergman Coleman & Silverman negotiated on behalf of Akkad. Rob Zombie is represented by Paradigm.

ABOUT ROB ZOMBIE

An auteur filmmaker and music artist with shrewd insight and creative vision, Rob Zombie challenges audiences as he stretches the boundaries of film, music and publishing.

Zombie is the longest active artist on Geffen Records and has sold in excess of fifteen million records. He is currently on a sold-out nationwide tour for his latest gold-selling album, "Educated Horses." which debuted at number five on the Billboard Top 200.

In 2000, Zombie jumped from music to film with his directorial debut and cult smash hit, "House of 1000 Corpses." Due to the film success Zombie returned in 2004 to helm its follow up the critically acclaimed, "The Devil's Rejects." Zombie was hailed by critics and fans alike as a visionary filmmaker due to the film's uncompromising and wildly inventive exploitive throw-back style.

Prior to "House of 1000 Corpses," Zombie directed dozens of high profile music videos. In 1995 Zombie won an MTV Music Video Award for "More Human Than Human," becoming the first self-directed artist to win such an award.

After the success of "The Devil's Rejects," Zombie entered the world of animation with "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" a feature length film in production at IDT.

ABOUT MALEK AKKAD

Malek Akkad is a twenty-year veteran of the entertainment industry. Under his guidance, Trancas International Films, has evolved into a diverse entertainment company, involved in production, distribution, management, music publishing and merchandising.

Akkad has produced the last three installments of the successful “Halloween” franchise, distributed by Dimension films, and is currently producing “Halloween 9.” Some other producing credits include “Walking After Midnight,” “The Psychic Murders,” the recently completed, “Made In Brooklyn,” and the documentary, “Halloween: 25 Years of Terror.”

As a director, Akkad has numerous commercials and music videos to his credit, including clients such as Coke Cola, and artists like Lo-Ball, Simon Shaheen & Kazem. He also directed the feature film, “The Psychic Murders,” starring James Russo, Henry Rollins, and Terry Farrell. He is currently developing “The Princess of Alhambra,” a sweeping historical epic set in medieval Spain, based on a script by Oscar winning screenwriter, Robert Bolt.

Akkad’s company, Trancas, also manages a vibrant film library, including titles such as “Halloween,” “Halloween 4,” “Halloween 5,” “Hell Night,” and “Lion of the Desert.” It also runs a merchandising department, and the music publishing company, Jack-O-Lantern Music. Trancas has recently opened television and management divisions, with several projects in development, and a roster of recognizable talent.

Tring Entertainments is Akkad’s overseas affiliate, handling Trancas’ library internationally, with offices in Twickenham Film Studios, home to such legendary productions such as “Reds,” “Ghandi,” “Blade Runner,” “Donnie Brasco,” “Interview with a Vampire” and Superman II & III, to name a few.

Akkad’s newly formed Paranormal Pictures, in association with Jon Sheinberg’s The Machine, has recently completed production of the mob comedy, “Made In Brooklyn.” The company has also produced the upcoming release from Anchor Bay Entertainment, “Halloween: 25 Years of Terror.”

after reading the article it doesn't really sound like they're doing a remake.

they're just making another one.

which is bad enough.

no, trust me, it's a remake. Zombie said he is doing a remake on his blog.

I'm a big fan of the series. The original, part 4, and H20 are some of my favorites. and the other parts have this nice quality to them that I can watch them every now and then.

I just hated the last one they did Halloween Resurrection. It totally ruined H20, which would have beena great ending. I think had they not made Resurrection I wouldn't care if they did a remake. I just don't like that that one is now going to be the last of the original series. Yuck.

Jamie Lee Curtis must be rolling over in her grave.

I don't really care, considering Halloween sucks and Rob Zombie makes good movies. They cancel out in my books.

How am I not familiar with his films when I said in my original post that I liked House of 1,000 Corpses and hated Devils Rejects. I also mentioned his muse, Sherri Moon. Obviously your not familiar with reading.

She's a pretty lady, she just can't act for shit, which worked well for her in House, but not so much in rejects.

She could play the PJ Soles character though.

I'm one of the few people who thinks that Halloween is the stupidest, lamest horror film ever. Well, not ever, just out of the popular ones.

I'd like to see a remake, just for shits and giggles.

hes said before he isnt going to put her in every movie he does. and she isnt academy award acting material but you also need to realize shes only been in what? 5 movies? shes very green as an actress and needs some time. she also needs to work with other directors.

also rob has said hes done with the DR characters so calm down on that....

i think he'll do very well with this. he has a deep appreciation for the genre. Holloween was actually not that great though. its overrated.

that last one i didnt even see. it sounded so stupid. and i love how they said H20 was the last one...and it so obviously isnt.

I'm actually very intrigued by this.

Off to imdb.com to see all the inevitable freakouts on the Halloween board; those fans are frightening and have even stated that if the film were to be remade, they'd go to extreme lengths to stop production.

It's going to be very interesting to see how this unfolds.

Oh my god, that's fucking pathetic.

I hope it gets re-made too, just to see what they would do.

I think it's sad people don't see the greatness of Halloween. It's been dampered by imitation and sequels. It invented a formula, that until it was beaten to death was actually good and scary. At the time it was the most sucessful independent film of all time. It only cost like 22,000 and made like 80 mil.

Rob Zombie himself said he doesn't like remakes. He said the only movies that should be remade are ones that have poor execution.

All fanboys are crazy. They wont do shit to stop production, except bitch on message boards. haha.

I'm not sure I follow you.

Some Halloween trivia for you all though. Dana Carvey had a brief appearance in Halloween 2 in 1981. He would become famous in Wayne's World starring Mike Myers. The name of the killer in Halloween is Michael Myers. Now that's weird.
