one thing we can all take away from this though......Jamie still looking sexy :2thumbs:
Well after reading some new information about this flick I am probably no longer the biggest party pooper about it. Don't get me wrong
I still think this film is WAY overhyped...but there is a glimmer of hope.
McBride and Green are on record of saying the film is going back to the original's roots in foregoing the focus on blood and gore and honing in
on the tension, which is what makes the original so fucking fantastic! If they can re-catch that lightning in a bottle that Carpenter used with keeping
MM in the shadows and blending in with the background of scenes this can be good.
The only aspect up in the air is a huge one for me and that is the story. What the fuck have they come up with to make this believable and relevant
after all these years since this is a direct sequel? So yes, there is some hope but this film is nowhere near the masterpiece mostly all horror fans
have already pegged it to be.
BTW, Curtis has wrapped filming on this already :stare:
Danny McBride is someone ive come to have a lot of faith in when it comes to production.
This.
He seems pretty passionate about his film projects. He has said in interviews that he brings along the same group of people that works on all his movies. Apparently they have all been buddies since college. I like that he's doing more serious shit lately and stepping away from the same old stoner comedies.
I consider him an American Simon Pegg. He does good work, he's mostly smarter comedy but he does get involved with other projects but only when it seems he has a passion for it.And as you pointed out, they both work with the same small group of people with similar passions that they always have.
This movie is our last hope in receiving a decent Halloween flick!

I was sent some info from a source that supposedly caught a test screening of the film a few days back. Assuming it's accurate, they detail some interesting information about the film. I'm not posting it on the site since I'm not 100% sure that it's legit and even if it is I'll probably be forced to remove it, so I figured I'd just share it here. Naturally some spoilers ahead:
Spoiler...There are a lot of stalking scenes, and you can't tell the difference between JJC and Nick Castle. He also said that the first time Laurie meets Michael - it was probably Nick and that it's very different than how they meet in H20. He said he was very in line with H1 Michael, but definitely more brutal in a sense. He also confirmed that they are not siblings in this film, and the entire film takes place in 2018.
He spoke of a really cool sequence: Imagine that upon Michael’s return to Haddonfield on Halloween night, he goes door to door and murders random people in their homes. Now imagine that this is done in a single shot lasting minutes. He also said the acting was good all around, really loved two teenage characters. Laurie's relationship with Karen and Allyson is really important in the film.
Adding... sometimes it felt like a horror drama, but that only added to the dread and impending doom in the film. Confirmed Laurie is the lead, but there are a lot of characters in the film - and they all get their fair share of screen time. Act 1 features Michael unmasked for the most part, however, you never see his face. Explained how he got his mask (SPOILERS) - two people who run a crime podcast ended up getting the mask from an evidence locker, and Dr. Sartain brings them in to see how he reacts. I will not go any further than that.
He also said that the film was very dark but the Halloween atmosphere wasn't as in your face as H4-H6, but definitely there. Quite a few kills that happen off screen - out of frame, but also some very graphic murders - some that happen in succession in the same scene. Tons of easter eggs - Speed Kills sign by the school, kids wearing Halloween Shamrock masks from Halloween III. He also said it's the best Halloween sequel (he loves the original and liked H20).
On the topic of Dr. Loomis: It looms heavier than H20, but not hugely. I’d say this movie is more about Laurie as a character than even the original film was, and that leaves less room for the people connected to Michael.
I hope that is all true because it sounds good
I'm going to be hoping for some good reviews for it when it comes out, but I'm not going to expect too much.
Looks like the info I posted is starting to spread around, so I ended up just posting it on the site anyway.
Not all that keyed up for this. They already played the "Jamie Lee is back!" card 20 years ago, and ignored most of the sequels that time. Now they're ignoring ALL of them (if that's the case, and none of those movies count now, I want back every penny I ever spent seeing them in the theater and renting/buying them on VHS and DVD). Even the return of Nick Castle -- IMO still the best Michael Myers to date -- isn't enough to raise my interest level level higher than "meh." This series should have ended for good with H2O. Like it or hate it, it was about as concrete an end to the whole mess as we ever would have got.
Man, you did not just Eminem me... :axekill:
is Michael going to be paunchy? it's shallow but I would hate that.
I love the original so much...as does EVERY member of this message board....I really hope we don't get let down. (again)
