Pretty sure she mains Cammie, though. It was in an interview.
Well, that movie ignored 4, 5 and 6, so why not?
Jamie Lee is in it, so they kind of have to disregard Resurrection. Which is good, that movie was trash.
But is it going to be new sequel to part 2, completely disregarding ALL the other movies too??
I haven't watched it in probably over a decade, but I remember kind of liking H20, I should probably watch it again sometime and see if I still do.

Both? If we're going by the first two, he's just an evil dude who murders his family. If we're going by 3-6,he was infected by some thorn curse that makes him damn near immortal and has to kill his family members.

So, does this follow after H2O? I thought they were rebooting the franchise
I'm curious to see how this turns out. Joe had some pretty disturbing moments in it, which has me thinking Gordon Green could pull off a solid sequel.
imagine being Arnold in that scene

Day fucking one
It was an ok Friday the 13th adaptation but it was a pretty bad Halloween adaptation. Zombie didn't seem to get that showing us Michael Myer's past is some fucked up white trash stereotype kind or robs the movie of the mystique about this faceless, voiceless and seemingly pointless killing machine.

Do you think Halloween 3 took place in the same universe as MIchael Meyers? That would cut down on the number of divergent timelines we're dealing with here.
Thank God its not a continuation of the Zombie movies.

Halloween was a Weinstein property for the last five installments. They had two reboots during that time. Its likely now that its in the hand of new producers that they're doing their own thing with it.
So, likely another reboot/retcon, perhaps even ignoring H20/Resurrection.

PREACH!!!
But Jamie =(
4 and 5 were great. 6 sucked.
If it followed that, wouldn't they have to lead into resurrection?

Huh. I thought this was another remake.
As horrendous as Resurrection was, I kinda enjoyed the prologue where Laurie dies.

I still don't know what I think of this show.
Yep. Rob Zombie made Michael the anti-hero in his movies. Michael was the bullied boy. The one with a bad older sister who would rather have sex than take him trick or treating. The moms boyfriend who didn't respect her. Asylum guards who who taunted him to his face after raping a female inmate. Even Dr. Loomis who was more about fame and celebrity than about helping patients. The movies were vulgar, full of civilians shitheads. In Halloween 2, I actually wanted Michael to kill everyone because they were horrendous people.
Zombie also did not get what made the original such a masterpiece. The score, the cinematography and the fear of the chase. We did not see Michael aside from glimpses. It was less about stabbing people so much their sternum crunches and blood oozes out but about watching television and forgetting to lock the door behind you, being followed while walking home etc.
Interesting to see Laurie back. This means they will retcon everything post original Halloween II.

I remember that haha. The interviewer asks her if she's Ryu or Ken type of person, and she looks at him with such contempt hahahaha.

Oh shit, that was the one with Busta Rhymes; I forgot that even existed.
They've said it's only continuing on from the first two movies, which are the only ones with Carpenter's involvement.
The knife was a fake knife, because Laurie thought all she had to do was make Michael laugh with a gag to win him back.
Isn't the upcoming movie a different continuity than 4 and Resurrection? If it's from 2, Laurie never died.

Is John Carpenter involved with this?
guilty.
pleasure.
you feel super guilty about enjoying it, but you can't help it. it is literally the definition of guilty pleasure.
Carpenter said ages ago that he really doesn't want anything to do with the series. Originally bitter about how it was handled with 2, and just moved on with his career after that.
edit - well damn... he IS the producer on this one.. Good for him.
F0rneus

He's producing and most likely scoring the film.
The only thing I know is she was the best part of the show
Followed by Chad
We should talk about 3 because it's good.

3 originally had potential too but they really screwed that up when Dante left.
I wish they decided to go with the anthology idea and just do different stories based on Halloween.

3 and 4 are really damn good.

They already did that in the comics
Would be an interesting take on the character for the films
4's fine.
3, 5, and 6 are varying degrees of trash though.
I don't find 5 boring though, so it's still fun to watch.

I was a dumb kid and hated Season of the witch because no Michael Myers, not even Mike Myers, that would have been groovy baby.
I grew up and LOVE it now, it's so unsettling, watching the ending still gives me chills, TURN IT OFF
Man I would like to see one more good Halloween film tho, isn't carpenter involved with this one?

I like what he was at the start, a shape, a symbol of death and its inevitability. Theres something supernatural to him, he killed his sister without any remorse, he doesn't really have a typical motive. He was locked way for years, and somehow he was able to operate a vehicle so he could go and kill his other sister. Then he vanished after being shot off top floor balcony. So much mystery, its great.
I didn't know she played WoW too. Wonder if she and Mila Kunis formed their own guild for celebrity WoW players.
