Halloween 2018 (remake/sequel) Trailer
- Thread starter Mike Manson
- Start date
This movie is kind of weird. They went back to the original series, but retconned the entire series after part 2 and are pretending 4,5,6,H20, and Resurrection didn't happen.
This one is supposed to be taking place after part 2. Kind of annoying cause I actually really liked the story of 4, 5, and 6 and don't like the idea that they're making it out to be that Michael Myers has just sat in a prison since 1978.
Movie looks like it will be good though, just seems like an odd creative direction.
I wish they would have just restarted the franchise with a fresh remake. It's been almost 10 years since Rob Zombie's remakes, would have been a great time. They could have milked a new trilogy out of it. When I found out John Carpenter is producing this one though, I see why he wanted to go back to his movies, none of the shit after the first 2 were his.

Actually they also left out the second movie! In the trailer they say Loomis shot him and then he was arrested. Also the girl says, that Michael and Laurie are not brother in sister, which wasn't mentioned till the second part..
For me the first two movies belong together. It's like one movie, broken up into two parts...

I'm one of the few that really liked Zombie's remakes. The only thing I disliked about them was them making Dr. Loomis be a massive Hollywood asshole in the 2nd one.
The opening scene of Zombie's 2nd one is one of my favorite horror movie scenes ever. That scene was brutal as fuck, then they changed the vibe with Moody Blues Nights In White Satin playing in the background.

Halloween was always a step above all the other slashers (until they fucked it up). It was more serious, more "scary". Rob Zombie had a good remake, but the second one was terrible. I hope, that they could give it a fresh start, but this new sequel just seems like a remake.
Danny McBride wrote the screenplay, and they already have a third part down, but want to wait to see if the audience will like this one. Before they planned on shooting it back to back.

They managed to make this one on a $10 million budget, which is pretty much pocket change when it comes to movie budgets now days. It should easily make $30-$40 million in box office, even if it's bad. I can definitely see a sequel no matter what if it breaks $30 million.
When I read Danny McBride was involved a couple years ago, my first thought was "lolwut, why is Kenny Powers writing Halloween?" Then I read McBride pitched his ideas directly to John Carpenter and John Carpenter loved them, so that gave me hope.

Yeah the Halloween 3 history was always interesting, I always hated Halloween 3 as a kid, because I felt cheated out of another Michael Myers flick. In my post I was talking Michael Myers storyline films though. Carpenter had no input on 4,5,6,H20, Resurrection etc. Moustapha Akkad wanted to milk as much cash as he could out of Michael Myers with or without Carpenter. I read years ago that Carpenter wrote a script for Halloween 4, but the studio didn't like it, so Carpenter rage quit and sold his piece of the rights to Akkad. So I get why Carpenter is pretending all of that shit didn't exist and is going back to his own story. Hell, Carpenter didn't even want to make the original part 2, he wanted Michael dead after the first one lol
