As most of you know, I lost most of my interested in the new Halloween Remake project that is coming out the moment I learned that Rob Zombie was going to direct it. Granted, we’ve only really seen him direct 2 films so far, both were horrible pieces of visual garbage that for some reason that I just can’t grasp a few people actually like. The man has no sense of pace or timing or how to properly use the camera to help tell the story. Oh well… that’s just my opinion.
Back to the Halloween film. Looks like the role of Mike Meyers has now been filled. And what world class thespian did they recruit to play this iconic role? Well none other than Tyler Mane (the dude who played Sabertooth in X-Men)!!! Start inscribing those Oscar statues!!!
Ok ok ok… in all seriousness, it’s not like the role of Meyers takes a lot of acting talent to play… the physical presence is more important in that particular role. And, to be honest, I think Mane’s job in playing Sabertooth in X-Men was actually pretty good considering the weird character he was asked to play.
So I’m still not looking forward to Halloween… but giving the role to Mane isn’t a bad move (and considering he’s worked with Zombie before in The Devil’s Rejects it also seems logical).
