You can’t just tell a planet full of horror fans that "Rob Zombie is directing the new Halloween flick" and not expect them to beat the door down for more details. The rocker/filmmaker seems to have just realized this, so he answered a few questions on what we can expect from a movie called "Rob Zombie’s Halloween."
The interview questions came from fans at HalloweenMovies.com…
QUESTION: Can you please clarify what you mean when you say you are "not making a sequel" and that your Halloween will be a "re-imagining" of the series? Isn’t that just another word for "remake"?
RZ: Well, sort of. I am basically making a prequel and a semi-remake of the first film all in one. So really in theory there will be more original content than remake content. That’s why I don’t like the word "remake."
QUESTION: For the next film, are you planning to maybe go into what Michael’s childhood was like and how and why he became the serial killer he is? Is it at least going to take place in 1978?
RZ: Yes, I think this aspect of the story is very important in order to bring new life to the character of Michael Myers. The film begins in 1978.
