Nothing can match the original but to be honest, it looks pretty damn good.

I was a little bit skeptical when I first heard about the remake, but now that we have more info and this trailer is out I am excited about the movie.

Thanks for posting this link, I was hoping to get this when I saw Grindhouse yesterday but didn't.

Still not completely convinced, unless he has made a lot of changes since that leaked script. Still not too fond of the idea of Myers having a bunch of dialogue.

*Spitfire* · 04-07-2007, 02:43 PM

Looks like his other movies. It'll be 2 hours long, have about 15 minutes total of action and the rest will be talking. I see no point in this remake but no one can write their own stuff anymore so I guess that's why.

Keep in a mind a trailer can make even the worst movie ever look bad ass it's not hard. Their made to trick you. And I've seen some bad ass movies with terrible trailers so you can't judge a movie by them at all.

*Voltron* · 04-07-2007, 03:31 PM

I have to agree with Spit. Remaking a classic rarely works out.

On a lighter note, has anyone ever thought that Michael Myers' mask resembles Will Shatner's Captain Kirk? I see a resemblance. . . but that's just me.

*Brodie* · 04-07-2007, 09:32 PM

Are you being serious? You do know the Meyer's mask is a Shatner mask, right?

If that was sarcasm......Maybe I'm losing it.

**Jo Dawn** · 04-07-2007, 10:23 PM

That was sarcasm.

And I dunno about this. I love the original, so I'm not sure how I'll take a remake... It'll probably be too... modernized to stand up well to the test of time.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-07-2007, 10:26 PM

true on all points lots of you have said.

I will probably rent this when it comes out. the original was excellet so I think this will bomb even if Rob Zombie tries to do a good job with remaking Halloween

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 04-07-2007, 10:50 PM

I really like the Halloween and Michael Myers is definitely my favorite movie Manic...I think Zombie will handle it right, but I agree with the statement that trailer can be deceiving. I just saw it last night before Grindhouse and that was the first visuals I had seen of it. It looks like they are going to touch more on his becoming Michael Myers instead of just brief scenes and Flashbacks?

**Jo Dawn** · 04-07-2007, 11:33 PM

Just watched the trailer... And I dunno. It looks kinda...

...like every other horror movie out there. Which is why the original was so cool. Because it wasn't.

*Ecto Jedi* · 04-08-2007, 01:07 AM

I'll probably go see it only because I'm a sucker for these classic horror franchises, even if Halloween was never really my cup of tea. Then again, I've never actually seen the original, so this one might win me over.

I only hope it's better than Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. Ugh...

*VaughnMichael* · 04-08-2007, 01:29 AM

Ummm I didn't know this was a remake...are you guys sure?
I thought it was a prequel or something.

It's definitely a remake. Or reboot. Or re-imagining, if you will.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-08-2007, 03:24 AM

yes just think of it as any what Ecto says.

remember how bad the sequals were?

Oh man, you need to see the original before the remake..just out of respect.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-08-2007, 01:34 PM

Sorry if I spell wrong.

Do you guys remember how bad the later Halloween movies were?

I agree with Jet, give yourself a chance and rent the original Halloween.

**Jo Dawn** · 04-08-2007, 08:15 PM

I liked the later stuff. Sometimes over the top corny... but always fun.

I've only seen parts 4 and 5, and I absolutely hated them. Which is surprising, considering the fact that I love both the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street sequels. I guess those two characters translate better into mass-market franchises than poor Michael Myers.
