Tyler Mane will be returning to play the role of Michael Myers, and Rob Zombie is to direct Halloween 2 which will begin filming in March 2009. Zombie did of course direct the remake of John Carpenter’s original 1978 Halloween film in 2007, and whilst some loved what he did with the film; others absolutely hated it. Personally, I’m a huge fan of Rob Zombie’s Halloween, I know that there are a lot of people out there that aren’t however, and the news that he is to direct the film’s sequel is therefore likely to be greeted with a very mixed reaction.
Can Rob Zombie do a good job with Halloween 2? I like to think he will, for those that weren’t a fan of his 2007 remake however then I’m sure there will be some definite doubts.
Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo were originally going to direct the film, and having done an excellent job with Inside they were expected to do a similarly stellar job with this Halloween sequel. It seems only right though that Rob Zombie will direct the sequel to his own Halloween reimaging, who knows what direction he will take with the film, and what will be made of the new Michael Myers this time round; I can’t wait to see it though, and am looking forward to another fantastically directed Halloween film from Rob Zombie.
