New Halloween on the Way
From Fango...

On the official HALLOWEEN website, HalloweenMovies.com, Moustapha Akkad has announced that, yes, HALLOWEEN 9 is racing forward, a "storyline has been chosen" and the "screenplay is being written right now." After HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION made a quick $30 million at the domestic box office (sadly, way more than JASON X), it was almost a given that the next HALLOWEEN film wouldn't be too far behind. No word on the story for this one, but the word is that casting will start soon, as a summer 2004 release is hoped for.

Crazy. I think all these movies like Halloween, Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc have run their courses. I wish they'd just stop making them. As long as they make money, I guess they won't stop.

I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blind, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the Devil's eyes! I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up for I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil! - Dr Sam Loomis(Halloween)

I wish they'd ignore the last three movies this time, and pick up the story from the end of Part 5.
I'd cast Danielle Harris, too.
As for the events of Parts 6, 7, and 8, I'd simply explain they were all nightmares and hallucinations of Jamie Lloyd.
Of course this isn't going to happen...but one can hope.

There are suppose to be 22 Halloween movies according to some guy that owns the rights or something. Years ago in the 80's i heard Friday the 13th will stop at 13 but haven't heard anything since.

I've been a sucker for the Halloween movies since they began. While on the first two actually qualify as decent movies, I had enjoyed them all for their cheesiness up until Resurrection. It had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, aside from the final shot. It wasn't even amusing in a so bad bad, it's good sorta way. How it made any money perplexes me, and the fact that Jamie Lee Curtis took the cash to do it just makes me sad. Having said that, if the premise sounds at all decent, I'll probably find myself watching it (Resurrection I skipped until my brother rented the DVD, as I had a feeling it was gonna be awful from the get-go....boy was I right).
They should have just let Michael be dead after the second one.....or at least H20, which was at least respectful to the source material if nothing else.
I do remember reading it was under consideration to go back and do a finale for the Jamie storyline, though I suppose they would have to assume we had forgotten part 6 existed or that we had all seen the Producer's Cut of part 6.

Remember when they said H20 was going to be the last one.
They lied.
I wish it would have end there.
Greed from the studios.

I can't see them going any more wrong than they did w/ Ressurrection. Hopefully the writers take time out to come up w/ a half decent plot, and not just throw together something that will attract fans in the commercials so they can just make money...

If I did a Halloween movie (I'll admit it, I have an idea for one...), I'd just make a down and dirty intense thriller, forget the gimmicks and just keep the tension going for as long as I can...

I agree... I am not too hot on the idea of another Halloween... Why??? Well, Halloween Ressurection was terrible and one of the worst sequels ever made... It was also a slap in the face to anyone who has followed the series as far as I am concerned... Neither H20 or HR had a Halloween feel to them at all... But, H20 was at least ok as a stand alone movie... The same can not be said for HR.
H9? Well, it all depends on what kind of direction they plan on taking it in... Is it going to be another cash cow to exploit more rappers and supermodels with no tension or scares and the definition of just plain stupid? If so, count me out...
Is it going to be a decent script with likable characters? A storyline that is exciting and tense? A movie that at least tries to be decent the way a true Halloween movie should be? If so, count me in...
It all just depends... We dont even know the story yet... In many ways, the last passible Halloween was Part 4... Although, the Producers Cut of 6 was decent before studio butchering, but hardly anyone has ever seen it and doesnt even know it exists...

John Carpenter already directed that one! 
And hey, at least the Halloween series never promised a "Final Chapter", something Freddy did once and Jason did twice! |
