I'll shoot in March.
How odd.
Sweet Danny! Looking forward to seeing you in it. Maybe you'll get your head squeezed by Michael or some other painfull death. ;)
Maybe you can get Mr Zombie to join.

Fantastic! I think Lou Martini needs to hire Michael as a bouncer. Then Michael will fall in love with a young stripper who reminds him of his mother. It will be a softer side of Michael than we have seen in previous films. Sort of like Phantom of the Opera in a Shatner mask. I declare this idea public domain, free for Mr. Zombie to use as he sees fit.
I expect this will be the best remake of a sequel to Halloween ever made! And that will be due in no small part to the brilliant performance given by Dan Roebuck! Kudos, Dan; looking forward to it.
Great news Danny! I'm happy for you.Don't forget that photo please. ;D

Yeah, DEFINITELY give him a link to this site!
Way to go Dan, congratulations!
Break a leg (or let Michael break it for you...or rip it off and beat you over the head with it - after all it is a Rob Zombie film...)
Cool!! Looking forward to it Dan!
Great news. I liked the original part 2, and I'll give this one a try, too!
looks like its going to be good cant whait till august
So, Danny, what are you an actor or something?
Just kidding. Did you piss Rob off? He didn't kill you in the first one so he's gonna do it in this one?
Congratulations Dan.
I'll definitely be checking this out as well as The Haunted World of El Superbeasto! Loved House and Devils but wasn't impressed with Halloween upon initial viewing (really should review it) so hopefully these 2 projects get Rob back on track for me.

I have to say up front... I liked Rob Zombie's first 2 movies pretty well, but his Halloween remake I could have seriously lived without. Malcolm McDowell is one of my favorite actors and he was great in it, but I thought the movie was awful. I hope you have fun, get paid, and I'm sure you'll be great in it. Most horror enthusiasts I know have a much lower opinion of Rob Zombie's movies than I do and I'm holding out some hope. A lot of the problem is that the Halloween movies are so iconic for some people that anything resembling a remake is going to get panned. That and Rob Zombie's directorial skills have not historically been on par with his musical ones. People learn, and improve. And one thing is fairly certain... the kids who are the same age we were when we saw the originals will love it!
Again though... have fun, get paid, and I'm sure you'll be great in it. I probably would have skipped seeing it without rave reviews, but now I gotta see it no matter what, so you're already selling tickets!
Congrats Danny! This will now be a must see for me.
In regards to Mr. Zombie - I would love to have him join the UMA. We all know he's one of us when it comes to horror. He's a collector too. And I love his music to boot.
Bring me the head of Rob Zombie. We have a place set for him at the table.
That's awesome! I can't wait! Congratulations!
I liked Zombie's Halloween. It was the best Michael Myers film since the original. To those who say Zombie's film was bad, I would say, compared to what? Halloween 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8? Save for the classic original and the cultish HIII, the entire series is lackluster. Myers is an iconic figure, Pleasance is terrific as Loomis, and the Carpenter theme is brilliant. With those three elements in place, you'd think it'd be hard to screw up. But the series somehow managed to squander the formula. Six times. The films have no passion, no obsession, no ferocity, no audacity, no sincerity. Zombie's film has all these. Yes, its structure is kind of clunky, trying to marry two films that don't really mesh. It has its flaws. But at least it has a vision. It feels like the work of a real filmmaker, an artist, not just another sequel rolling off an assembly line. I'm a little concerned about this next installment, with Myers having a beard and Zombie saying he's not going to use the Carpenter theme. But I'm still looking forward to it. Even if it is a misfire, it will be interesting.

I agree, I also enjoyed Zombie's Halloween. No, it was never going to surpass our original favorite, but Ray made a good point: Halloween 4,5 6, and 8 were assesmbly line sequels (I didn't even finish 5 or 8). Yes, Zombie's Halloween felt like he was cramming 2 different movies, but it provided a fresh look at a tired franchise. I appreciated the backstory to Myer's childhood and Zombie did it in his trademark flavor. It was something new and different which I stated in another thread is sorely needed in the Horror genre today.
I felt after the backstory, he tried to rush the rest of the movie, but overall it made for a fresh addition to the franchise which I consider 1, 2, H2O (as the trilogy) and I always enjoy part 3 Season of the Witch.
Looking forward to the new part 2.

I could have lived without those too. ;D Actually, I think another was pretty good, but they all run together a bit.
I'm tired of all remakes, sequels, etc., and I'm tired of modern [gorefest driven] horror movies. Tired...tired...tired. [I do hold high hopes for the new WOLFMAN, however...]
My big wish is that Hollywood could regularly produce stuff that seemed new and fresh baked. And whether it be in the horror, drama, or comedy fields, produce product that doesn't rely on the gore effects, sex, drugs... whatever, as "content", with little to no true storytelling involved. It surprises me, just hearing the audio of modern TV shows playing from the other room, how often a completely needless sexual, drug-related, etc. reference is made. It's really no wonder "the world" is so f*cked up these days. It is programmed to be.
I have real trouble getting through 75% of all new film and especially television product these days. Really. Thank goodness (or Sony or whoever) for home video. Oh. And the TV show HOW IT'S MADE.
