Ok, in today’s lesson boys and girls, we’re going to learn how to take something that was once good… then went bad… and how to make this bad thing even worse! Yes folks, Rob Zombie, the guy who gave us the total waste of film, time, money and brain cells movies “Devil’s Rejects”, and “House Of 1,000 Corpses” has been signed up for some inexplicable reason to write and direct a new “Halloween” flick. Oh good.
What? That news isn’t yet bad enough for you? Ok, how about we add on top of that the fact that it’s going to be a remake! Hooray for stupidity! The good folks at Yahoo give us this:
An October 2007 release is being planned. Disney’s Miramax Films will co-finance the development with former Miramax chiefs Bob and Harvey Weinstein’s Dimension Films.
The movie will not be a sequel or a straight-ahead remake of the 1978 original — which helped director John Carpenter cement his name in the horror business — but a reimagining that will infuse new blood into the Myers story.
Ummm… yeah… that IS called a re-make.
Well, at least they’re giving Zombie a totally “throw away-able” movie like a new Halloween. It’s a shame what they did with that franchise, it used to be great. Hmmmm… not totally dead yet? Let’s add Zombie! Ugg. Thanks to Darren for the heads up.
