Members Shawn Posted January 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Even More Casting News For Zombie's 'Halloween' Remake Posted: January 28, 2007 @ 7:29pm | Source: Official Blog | Comments (9) Yes, more casting news has come in for Rob Zombie's Halloween. Lindsey will be played by Jenny Gregg Stewart, according to his official blog.

After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, is mistakenly released from the mental institution (where he was committed as a 10 year old) and he immediately returns to Haddonfield, where he wants to find his baby sister, Laurie. Anyone who crosses his path is in mortal danger. Click the title above for all other news. source: http://www.bloody-disgusting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I love Halloween and what I've heard about this sounds awful. Rob Zombie may love horror movies and cast a lot of horror movie veterans but he can't write or direct. House of 1000 Corpses was unwatchable and The Devil's Rejects was better but still awfully written. All he knows how to write is "'70s redneck horror," ripoffs of better movies like The Hills Have Eyes, Last House On The Left and the original Texas Chainsaw. He thinks that's the only way to do realism and his script for the remake, with all the trailer trash families, explanations, talking Michael Myers, etc. sounds like absolute crap to me. Way to destroy a series. Just because you like horror movies doesn't mean you can be trusted with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted January 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 If John Carpenter gave his blessing to Rob, and if Halloween is Rob's all time favorite movie, I highly doubt that the series will be disrespected. The script that was reviewed was an early draft, and the "talking" Michael really boils down to him muttering one word at a crucial point in the movie for maximum effect, as per Rob himself. I have faith in the man. He adores the movie and everything about it, and I believe he will give it the respect it deserves. Besides, if JC himself told Rob to "go for it" after hearing an outline, Rob must be doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 John Carpenter "gives his blessings" to every remake of his films even when he thinks it'll be crap, like he did with "The Fog." He would come on set, curse and smoke, and the magazines reported it as him blessing the film. He has said he doesn't care what people do with his properties as long as he gets paid, and that he is a pure capitalist. Rob Zombie likes horror, says he loves horror, casts a lot of horror actors but he doesn't understand what makes them scary as far as I'm concerned. He also said in a MTV interview that conveniently doesn't get quoted much that he doesn't like a lot about the original film, like the focus on characters other than Michael Myers and the lack of explanation behind the character. That is the whole point of the character! Also, that was nearly a shooting script, not an early draft. When every character in it is being cast it's happening.

Members Roman Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 I am waiting to see MM and TM as Michael do battle with one another. That was the real stroke of great casting there, to and McDowell's name to the list. He brings the very same thing Donald Pleasence brought when he joined the original. But, the good part is, is that both storylines from the previous Halloween series is now done. I really think they decided to go into the direction they did because 1. H:R was so God-awful, 2. They had two directions they could have went into, neither f which was feasible, and 3. Now you don't have to beg anyone to come back and do another Halloween. Jamie Lee has probably asked about being in this one, but RZ could have said that he has no place for her right now. And......to add Danielle Harris.......great casting as well. I really dig her, not to mention that she can act and is a full-grown hottie right now. That sticks it to the asswipe who didn't want to use her in H6. But......I was also wondering, seeing H: 25 Years Of terror, what happened to allow her to do this film, with what she's going through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted February 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was wondering the same thing myself about Danielle Harris. Do you think she'll talk about it at all in any future interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 I think it will depend on what happens after the motion picture comes out. They have caught these people, and that's why she decided to do another Halloween. It's just amazing the amount of nutcases out there right now. To stalk a young girl? What is that?! You know, we look at these movies, and some of us just can't seperate reality and fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
