There was some casting news for this movie this week (which is going to be a remake of the original that plans to concentrate more on Michael Myers).

Dr. Loomis is going to be played by Malcolm McDowell (interesting choice) and Myers himself is going to be played by Tyler Mane (Sabretooth in X-Men)

From what I heard its going to be a remake and a prequal.

Teaser

Edit: A commentary on the remake I just wrote in my blog: Sean P. Kelly On Movies: Halloween Remake - How will it measure up?

Trailer

The only thing I'm confident about with this film is Malcolm McDowell as Loomis.

For everything else, I just don't know.

The real question is... will it be able to stand neck-and-neck with Werewolf Women of the SS.

It's late, I already wrote some detailed thoughts in my blog, so I'll just write this: I kind of liked the expanded Michael Myers backstory, but when the film switched from prequel to remake my opinion on the film took a complete 180.

Bottom line is the film concentrates too much on Myers and the Laurie Strode storyline, which was the focus of the original, is all but ignored (that part of the film definitely takes no more than 45 minutes of the film -- and it probably was less)

I'm not all that optimistic about remakes (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), or prequels (Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning).

Kil'jaeden · 09-01-2007, 08:57 PM

I'm not all that optimistic about anything from the guy who made House of 1000 Corpses.

Good movie but a lot more goryness then other films but then again its Rob Zombie!

**Sean P Kelly** · 09-06-2007, 09:07 PM

I would say the violence was more extremely brutal then extremely gory
