“I love my version of the characters…”
FearNET correspondent Spider, frontman of Powerman 5000, has an advantage when it comes to getting the dirt regarding H2 where other journalists don’t: He’s the writer-director’s brother. And so, he, and FearNET, put that blood bond to good use to get Rob Zombie to talk a bit about his sequel to Halloween.
Here, Zombie explains why he decided to leap back into the franchise: “For some reason Halloween was one of those shoots that was stressful and crazed from day one. Everything was a struggle and a problem. So, when it was done I was ready to be done. Then time goes by, you regenerate, forget and the idea of a sequel seems okay. But by that point I thought someone else was already doing it. So I just forgot about it. Then I ran into Matt Stein from Weinstein Company at the Scream Awards and found out that it was still up for grabs. So I grabbed it. I love my version of the characters and can’t wait to take them further. This sequel will be different than the first film, much like The Devil’s Rejects was different from House of 1000 Corpses.”
He goes on to repeat that Tyler Mane is returning as Myers (announced last week) and that he’s spoken to Malcolm McDowell and Scout Taylor-Compton about their respective roles. Shooting begins on March 9th. For the full interview click here.
