Zombie talks love of his characters
Rob Zombie is playing it smart. After the backlash that followed the news that Michael Myers will not wear his mask that much in H2 (Halloween 2), the writer-director has been carefully releasing pics of Myers from the sequel with his mask on to appease the fans. Scroll down and you’ll find the latest image which premiered on his blog this morning.
He also talks about why he took on a follow-up in spite of saying he’d never do another one: “When I finished Halloween I was so f**king burnt out that the thought of doing another seemed totally insane to me at the time. I was done. But after a year and a half break I started to think that maybe another one wasn’t such a bad idea. I love the characters and felt that I had only just scratched the surface of what could be done with them. The basic story was out of the way and now the series could go anywhere. Seeing the aftermath of Michael’s rampage through the eyes of Laurie and Loomis was very exciting to me. So I came back and now we have a movie. Never say never.”
H2 is now in post-production and hits theaters on August 28th. Look for the trailer online this Friday.
