Any other diehard Halloween fans out there? Remakes are pretty lame, but Rob claims it's not really a remake. I think this movie actually has the potential to be pretty awesome. I wasn't a HUGE fan of Rob Zombie's first 2 movies, but they were at least "ok." Rob is a horror fanatic and I think he might have some interesting things to add that were not really addressed in the first movie. It should be interesting to see in more detail why Michael wigs out and kills his sister and why he wants to kill everyone else in his family that he can get his hands on after he breaks out of the mental institution (Laurie, Jamie, etc.). Rob's wife plays Michael's mom who is a stripper (surprise surprise, so out of character for you, Rob) so i'm guessing she is a shitty slut-bag of a mom which helps contribute to him going over the deep end.
The kid that plays Michael as a little kid looks evil as fuck! Plus, Dr. Loomis is played by Malcolm McDowell (ie. Alex from Clockwork)....great casting, Rob!!! Also, Danielle Harris who plays his niece Jamie in 4 and 5 will be one of Laurie's friends that get sliced.....apparantly titties will be exposed, ya little jerks. Michael is played by the dude that played Sabretooth in X-Men, for whatever that's worth.
The soundtrack looks pretty good with Halloween II by The Misfits (fucking right), Don't Fear the Reaper, 1969, and yes, of course, Mr. Sandman.

Basically, the beginning should be the most interesting to check out.
