Rob Zombie Talks Halloween 2

In an interview with MoviesOnline Rob Zombie spilled the beans on his new film Halloween 2. Right off the bat he is once again making the point its not a remake.. its his own animal.

My Halloween 2 has nothing to do with their Halloween 2 [ John Carpenters ]. It’s a completely different movie. It has nothing to do with it. The way the story unfolds is totally [different] so it didn’t matter. Like you said, the first one was different because you’re remaking a classic movie and that’s kind of weird.

It was weird for me because I was as big a fan of the movie as anyone else, so it was really hard for me to distance myself from it and to see it a different way. That’s why this was good because I had gotten all the John Carpenter-ness out of my system. I felt free to do whatever all the time. That alone makes for such a better film. The last one, for me, always felt sort of 50/50 – like this is clearly my section and this is clearly how do we mess around with John’s section. It’s kind of tricky.

He also touched on Halloween 3 and whether he would like to be involved saying;

They’ve even said they don’t want to make any more [ the studio ]. I don’t know if they do or they don’t. Who knows? I feel that sometimes making these movies is so stressful that, when you’re in the middle of it, nobody ever wants to start talking about the next one. You’re like, “Really? I haven’t even survived this one yet so I don’t want to talk about the next one.” No, I feel like with these two that it is wrapped up, for me, and they can go make more with whoever and I don’t want to be involved on any level, I don’t think.

Its a great interview with lots of interesting stuff. Read it here;
