A couple months ago I mentioned that Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo (the team behind the brilliant INSIDE) may have been in talks with Bob Weinstein and Dimension about continuing what Mr. Zombie had started. Now, thanks to an article in Rue Morgue Magazine, we have further confirmation that this is indeed the case! Here’s a brief snippet of what was said:

"it's a proposition we couldn't refuse,” Maury explained and added that he and Bustillo are well aware of Zombie's re-imagining of Michael Myers and they're out to put their stamp on the character, not copy what came before them. "Therefore, our vision will be done with utmost respect, with a continuity of [Zombie's] work but also a real evolution of the world he set in place."

Evolution of the world? What's that supposed to mean? I liked Zombies film, but don't really see a sequel in it, kinda like the Carpenter one.

Why????

Zombie's film would be okay as a stand alone slasher film. As remake for Halloween it falls mightily short. I just recently saw Carpenter's Halloween again uncut for the first time in years. After I felt like taking my DVD of Zombie's version and drop kicking into the Ocean(I live two blocks from the Ocean north of Boston).

I have no use for his film as a remake and see no reason why another should be made.

My god in heaven.

They just don't know when to quit, do they?

you guys do know that you can still see the original one right? And that you don;t have to watch the Zombie-verse ones...

And really, is the Zombie one actually worse then some of those shit-tastic sequels like the 3rd one, or the Druid cult story line? I think not. Zombie made a horror film with teeth instead of remaking a great suspense film, I liked it. I'll check this one out too.

Now that you mention it, IMO, it came pretty darn close to those.

It's funny, I rewatched Halloween: 25 Years of Terror at work the other day and during one of the Q&A sessions with the cast of the original someone asked how they felt about a remake and if they would participate in it (this was when the remake was still a germ of an idea being toyed with), Charles Cyphers answered "Why remake a masterpiece?" which got a rousing round of applause.

I concur with that sentiment.

To each his own, though.

And I've said it before but the remake looks like Citizen Kane compared to Halloweens 5 to 8 (and I'm not even that big of a fan of the remake).

Having just watched this yesterday (the unrated cut), I don't see how they can have a sequel to this film.

If I remember correctly, Zombie said that he wanted to make sure that Michael was definitively dead at the end of his movie so it was the end of the story and there couldn't be a sequel.

I guess in the sequel, he'll just feel better after getting shot in the face and get back to killing people.

Michael was also decapitated at the end of H20 but that hardly stopped them from making another one lol.
