This seems a little strange to see. After nearly 30 years since the first Halloween movie, they are planning a remake. I guess this is no worse than making another sequel. Despite the movie being temporarily titled Halloween 9, teeny bopper cutey Scout Taylor-Compton is playing a 17 year old Laurie Strode. The same character that made Jamie Lee Curtis famous 29 years ago.

The filmmakers just revealed the first image of the new Michael Myers from Rob Zombie’s “Halloween”. The character will be portrayed by Tyler Mane. Rob 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.
I like these slasher flicks that have some supernaturally powered badguy wreaking havoc on unsuspecting teens, disembodying them for the hell of it, and having one person survive overcoming the odds. Its just a feel-good movie that you can share with your children.
And this is one of those times where giving a professional wrestler a leading role isn’t such a bad idea. Mane has the physical presence to make Myers a REAL threat just by standing still. And its not like Myers has any speaking roles where we get to explore his inner turmoil. He doesn’t speak at all. He just has to look menacing, and rip unsuspecting teenagers in half.
