Well this is strange. It looks like Rob Zombie is back in the saddle for Halloween 2. We get wind of this thanks to the sleuths over at shocktillyoudrop:
It’s been widely reported at this point that Inside helmers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo have parted ways with Dimension Films and Trancas International’s proposed Halloween 2, leaving the door open to anyone. An insider phoned in this afternoon exclusively informing ShockTillYouDrop.com that Rob Zombie is going to reprise his duties as director and carry on the new Myers legacy that he forged with Tyler Mane behind the mask.
This news is still in the rumor stage at this point, but looks to be true and the author of the source article expects an official announcement shortly.
I have yet to see the Zombie Halloween. Reviews have been mixed, but people either seem to dig it, or not. I hear little middle ground when people describe their experience with this film to me.
I have said before that if this remake must have a sequel, Rob Zombie should be the one to do it. He was the one that wanted to add his own spin to the story, so it is my opinion that he should remain as the storyteller.
For thos of you that are horror enthusiasts – I would like to hear your thoughts on this news. Are you excited that Zombie is back, or do you wish Myers would stay dead?
