Halloween Reboot
So, John Carpenter, who's producing the reboot, revealed today that David Gordon Green and Danny McBride are helming this reboot.
I'm not sure what to make of it. I think at the very least it'll be interesting. What do you guys think? http://www.slashfilm.com/david-gordo...lloween-movie/ |
Re: Halloween Reboot
Danny McBride?
As in, the not-funny comedian Danny McBride? Ugh. |
Re: Halloween Reboot
Danny McBride is hilarious... but for a Halloween reboot I don't know...

I think I am hopeful, too, Sexy. I have always been a fan of unconventional choices like this, because it often leads to interesting results. I'm not fussed about either of these guys, I don't think they're untalented necessarily, and overall it just feels like a breath of life into a dying franchise. Maybe it will give it some pizazz. I imagine Carpenter has talked with them about it, so I don't think it was a blind decision to let them helm it.

Re: Halloween Reboot
I just hope Carpenter will do the score.
:dodgy: |
Re: Halloween Reboot
Yeah, I'm in the "could be interesting" camp here.

Re: Halloween Reboot
As long as Rob Zombie isn't allowed anywhere near it, I'm all over it. ;)

Re: Halloween Reboot
Oh wow, I didn't realize John might do the music. YES!!!!
That also shows he's really enthusiastic about their vision - a good sign. |
Re: Halloween Reboot
I feel like Carpenter tells it like it is, he's a no BS kinda dude and if he's excited for it then count me in.

What do you guys think? http://www.slashfilm.com/david-gordo...lloween-movie/ It morphed from Halloween to just some generic slasher film. Also didn't like the idea that after something traumatic like the events in Halloween, everyone just runs out, gets tats, becomes white trash and looks like they're RZ's immediate family. (Not saying tats are trash, I have some ink myself, they just all looked like they got off work from the flea market) That being said, I'm happy the reins were handed back to the people that can do it justice. |
I think Carpenter is creative enough to come up with something new.

Re: Halloween Reboot
McBride revealed he is a lifelong horror fan and he is appearing in Alien:Covenant. Hell, if Jordan Peele can do a horror film (Get Out), and with Carpenter getting his input in the film, this brings optimism for me.

Re: Halloween Reboot
While this seems great, and I love Carpenter's enthusiasm, I demand Pinapple Express 2 from these guys before their Halloween reboot.

Re: Halloween Reboot
Or they can just make Halloween 3, the film we never got. I definitely can't wait for the reboot though. Michael Myers is my favorite slasher.

“You know, it’s not a remake. It’s actually, it’s gonna continue the story of Michael Myers in a really grounded way. And for our mythology, we’re focusing mainly in the first two movies and what that sets up and then where the story can go from there. |
Re: Halloween Reboot
Not really a McBride fan, but I'm assuming he's playing Michael, so that should be a side of him we've never seen.
If it's David Gordon Green in early career mode (All The Real Girls, George Washington, Snow Angels) then I'll be interested. He's a very good director when he wants to be. |
Re: Halloween Reboot
So, are they retroactively aborting Halloween 3+?
That was what that dungus Blomkamp was going to do with his Alien movie, completely retcon Alien 3. |
