Halloween III is a go?

[Marx]

It certainly seems to be...

They’re still looking for the money, but it’s pretty much set to go this December or early next year. Me and Scout Taylor-Compton are both going to do it...I’m a shrink in a mental hospital that Laurie [Taylor-Compton] is in with a bunch of other girls who have been up to no good. I’m trying to help them find a way to the light.

HAHAHAHAHA another Halloween 3 that doesn't focus on Michael Myers at all. Wow, it's the 80's all over again

I still think Rob Zombie's Halloween should have been a stand alone movie. I just don't understand how another one can possibly be done. The theatrical version ended with Michael and Loomis dead and Laurie in an insane asylum having visions of a white horse and Mother Myers.

In the UNRATED Director's cut, the movie ends with...

Spoiler

everyone dead. Including Laurie.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

Either way Michael is dead, he can't be in the third & by the sounds of it, he won't be, as it will be about laurie's time in the asylum. Another absent Michael Myers film for part 3.

...and we all know how good a Halloween movie does without Michael Myers. Even if it does ignore the Director's cut and focuses on Laurie, who is she going to go after? There's NO ONE left!

I'll be saving my money & not going to see this. I'm a big fan of the entier Halloween series 1-8 + Halloween 1 of this series, however Rob Zombie's Halloween II was a disgrace to the entier Halloween series, was a failure on every possible level & I'd rather stab my eyes with a fork & burst my eardrums with an ice pick than suffer through it or a Halloween III by him..

Dear God, put this out of it's misery now. Besides the fact I hated both of RZ's Halloween films, I've enver even seen the theatrical version of Halloween II. I could never find a copy of it anywhere.
Edit: I agree with B. I love all the old series, even parts of Resurrection, though it's mostly the first 10 minutes or so, and a few parts otherwise. Still, I hate both Zombie's films, and even if Rob has nothing to do with this, I can't see this being good from the sound of it. Oddly, I guess it could work in the way that if it's mostly in a mental hospital, than none of Zombie's trailer trash influence could carry over easily (yes I know, there were mental hospital parts in the first film), so the possible creative differences in the design of thigns could actually be failry easy to explain.

Halloween III is a go?

 

[Mace Dolex]

If it peaks my interest I might go see it but Rob Zombie should stay away from the Halloween series, the Halloween movies he's done are so violent and sickening that I think Rob was abused as a child and he's releasing that anger through the violence and carnage.

The Director's Cut of Halloween 2 did NOT end with everyone dead. Loomis and Michael could both very much still be alive. Especially considering they've survived worse. Laurie's situation is left to interpretation. She could be dead, she could be in the mental institute. Who knows?

Well, short of Sheriff Brackett, pretty sure everyone else is dead. I mean, Laurie got shot how many times? Loomis took a blade to what appears to be the heart, and Michael got shot up again, but in the last movie he really only took the one bullet. So I have my doubts they are alive.

Honestly, I think it all depends on if they launch it from the theatrical cut, or the Director's Cut. Halloween didn't have this problem because the Director's Cut still had the Laurie ending, and only changed a few things (I thought the rape scene was pretty terrible. I kind of actually liked the Michael powerhouse escape over that stupid escape.). I think Rob intended it to end there, so whatever stupid reason the studio dreams up (*cough* Resurrection*cough*) (or, just jumping from the theatrical ending) is purely their doing. Again, I didn't like either of Zombie's Halloweens, but just to see what was different, I'm tempted to endure the theatrical cut of H2 if I could ever find a copy.

 

[Spider-Fan]

As if Halloween II wasn't bad enough

 

[marvelman2006]

since the second one was so successful.... This is ridiculous and why have a halloween movie if myers wont be in it? lets have jaws without the shark.

 

[Johnny Drama]

Rob Zombies Jaws.

I could get with that. Give the Shark long greasy hair and mommy issues. Cast Iggy Pop as Chief Brody.

 

[Deaths Head II]

They'll probably find a way to bring back Michael.

 

[The Joker]

This one actually sounds worse than Zombie's H2.

I disagree. In the Director's Cut, Michael was shot up. Loomis was stabbed in the heart. And Laurie was [blackout]also shot numerous times in the torso. Rob Zombie himself said, in the DVD's commentary, that the ending scene of Laurie in the asylum was 'her last thoughts as she lay dying'.[/blackout]

In the theatrical cut, Michael was shot numerous times, fell onto rebarb and stabbed numerous times in the torso by Laurie. Loomis was stabbed numerous times in the torso. And then it flashes to Laurie in the asylum.

If anyone listened to the Commentary for part 2, Rob said Laurie was dead and shes not in a insane asylum.

 

[Octoberist]

this movie will be a crapload..of fail.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Who knows, maybe people will accept it, unlike they did years ago. Who knows. Were just have to wait and see.

Anything is certainly possible...but I don't remember H2 being received that well.

You mean the original Halloween 2? Cause I know your not talking about RZ's H2. Even know I liked it, One of the few prolly.

 

[Marx]

I was saying that I don't remember Rob Zombie's H2 being received that well. So why would people then go to see another installment after what happened in H2?

Season of the Witch was a colossal failure because it had no Michael Myers...despite being a Halloween movie. Flash forward 28 years later, and again there will be another Halloween movie without Michael Myers.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Why every sequel in the 80's was made and why they are looking to make a sequel to PA. Money. Even if something fails, they still see it has some potential to make money for atleast one more movie.

Maybe they could go back to the old angle of the town being afraid of Halloween and there being rumors of people seeing Micheal around town and its causing chaos being the town folks.

I even had my own idea where I would take the series. Or they could do what Carpenter wanted to do. Where I think it was Micheal was a ghost or something haunting the town. lol.
