I know what many of you may be thinking...who cares it's just gonna be another shitty scary movie. I honestly don't know if I believe that. Granted I have not become too fond of Rob Zombie's other works ( e.g. House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects) but this seems to be different. It will come as no surprise when I say that Rob Zombie has made some "different" types of music, not all bad but not all good either. However, he has stated that he wants to go into great depth about a lot of aspects of Michael Myers life and how he became this killer, why he's really looking for his sister Laurie, how he came to get the mask, how he broke out of the institution, and to show what a true psychopath really is. I am very intrigued to get an in depth look at the life and times of this fictional murderer. The original Halloween in 1978 was a classic in it's own right and Zombie has said that he will not simply re-do the original movie...he will re-imagine it.There is quite a bit of character development that could be done for Myers and I think Zombie has what it takes to truly bring out something truly fascinating...and come on, who doesn't want to see just what's going on in the head of the man in the white mask? I'm also interested to see how Zombie handles the family situation as the movie will begin with Myers as a young child when he murders his family and move onto his being committed to Dr. Loomis' institution and his subsequent stalking of his sister Laurie.
Here is the synopsis courtesy of our friends at Wikipedia:
In a small and quiet Illinois town called Haddonfield, lived a young boy, Michael Myers, and his family. And if everyone in the Myers' house was quite odd, Michael was without any doubt the weirdest. On Halloween night, 10-year-old Michael savagely murdered his family : he stabbed his elder sister Judith and beat his mother's boyfriend to death with a bat. He was eventually committed to a psychiatric hospital,leaving behind the only person he ever loved and cared for : Laurie, his baby sister. For years, Dr. Sam Loomis tried to cure him, realizing soon it was hopeless, that Michael was pure evil and nothing would change about it. Then arrives another October. Michael is now 27 years old, the former fair-haired kid became a huge man... A 6'10-tall killing machine who escapes and goes back home. Back to Haddonfield. Back to Laurie. Now, all he needs for trick or treat with his baby sister is a sharp kitchen knife, a pair of mechanics' coveralls and an old white-faced mask. And this time, Halloween can really begin.
Interested? You don't have to wait long. The movie releases in the U.S. on August 31, 2007. Check out the movie's website for some kickass looking photos from the movie and the trailer is there as well.
