Shooting has officially begun in Los Angeles, CA. Watch for more details as they come in, read on for a pic of the new Laurie Strode!

I would also tell Jamie Lee Curtis to eat her heart out. With some of the comments she's made in the past about Halloween, and the fact that she only did H20 because her career was in the toilet at the time, and she needed a hit, I'm glad that someone at Dimension had the good sense to finally end that other timeline and start fresh.

I hate these arrogant actors and actresses who, after becoming famous, decide that the film or t.v. show that made them that way is beaneath them.I hope I never hear from JLC again. She was one of my favorites, but now she makes me sick.

Sorry about the rant. We now return you to your regularly scheduled horror thread, already in progress.........

[Shawn]

Everything I've seen Jamie in Halloween related, she's stated that she's grateful to the series for making her a known actress. What comments are you referring to Roman?

[Roman]

There was an interview she did whilemaking H20, that was cut out. You may can find the audio of it, but she said, when asked about coming back for another Halloween, that she wouldn't do it for any amount of money. That just really struck me as very arrogant. It kinda pissed me off, seeing as we only knew her as Janet Leigh's and Tony Curtis's daughter, and one of the stars Operation Petticoat when her career started.

Halloween gave her her start, and for me, even if she did fel like that, if you heard her tone, it sounded like the series was beneath her. What i did enjoy is Danielle Harris wanted to come back and do H6, even though it was basically a cameo, and turned it down because the asswipe execs didn't want to pay her some good money (On top of the fact that she didn't like how her caharcter was killed off).

I don't know, Shawn. I guess I'm just huge on actors we have never heard before making it big, and then still being grateful for the opprotunity that many people don't get, but instead act like the project that putthem on the map was a burden to them.

[Shawn]

When Jamie Lee did H20, she did it to bring closure to the character, and thus, she did not want to do any other sequels. I dunno, I don't see anything wrong with that.

[Roman]

Oh, I see what you're saying. It's just that the statement kinda rubbed me he wrong way, you know? Maybe I took it wrong.

[Shawn]

Nothing wrong with that. You're like me in that you're very protective of this series. I'd react the same way if it seemed someone was talking badly of it.

[Roman]

Thanks, Shawn. That's exactly what I'm saying. That is my all-time favorite horror series. I have seen every one except H2 in the theaters, and on opening night.

[Shawn]

I had to opportunity to see the original in theatres this past Halloween when they had a limited run screening here in NYC. It was such a surreal experience. It was great seeing people scared out of their minds from GENUINE scares. Not cheap "GOTCHA" moments that are so prevalent in today's horror movies.

[Roman]

Now, imagine seeing it when it first premiered? Dude, there were grown men with their hands over their eyes! The funniest stuf you would have ever seen. Seeing it in the theater is the best, especially with surround sound.

[Shawn]

At the screening I saw in October, a biker dude let out a scream that rivaled Jamie Lee's onscreen. The audience lost it.
