Rob Zombie To Continue Destroying Halloween Franchise

Over at ShockTillYouDrop they are reporting the Zombie is back in the directors chair and not just producing as originally thought. I guess the only thing we can hope for is that someone else does the writing but slim chance on that.

It’s been widely reported at this point that Inside helmers, Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo have parted ways with Dimension Films and Trancas International’s proposed Halloween 2, leaving the door open to anyone. An insider phoned in this afternoon exclusively informing ShockTillYouDrop.com that Rob Zombie is going to reprise his duties as director and carry on the new Myers legacy that he forged with Tyler Mane behind the mask.

Where does that leave Tyrannosaurus Rex? Well, according to our source, the project is on hold for now since Halloween 2 is expected to start shooting in March. But questions remain: If this is true, has Zombie been at work on a story? Is a script complete? Will a script be complete by March? The man is busy hatching his new album, where’s his focus?

With how much Zombie improved from House Of 1000 Corpses to The Devil’s Rejects, I was one of the few who defended Halloween before it came out and was looking forward to it. How wrong I was. He seems to have potential but just wants to repeat the same white trash horror cliche’s over and over and I don’t see anything changing anytime soon.
