"You know what happens when you electrocute a toad?..."

Oh, wait, that's not related.
-
should be good.
-
should be good.
-
I am officially a prick.
-
I mean, is this motherfucking X-mas or is this motherfucking X-mas?
-
Get off your computers and get some culture! Seriouslly, follow my lead. And to all a good night..
-
Why?
-
The official website says, "go see Night at the Museum" to see the trailer. Pretty lame, huh? Though I did see it with the family and have to say that the surfer looks a lot better on screen. Cool ad. Also, on the website pic of SS, he doesn't have pupils. Peace. Merry Christmas everybody!
-
Michael Myers is going to be Sabretooth... I wonder why he just didn't get a no-name?
-
another hemephrodite out there in hollywood land?????
-
This movie will be good.
-
Would have been a great Sabretooth if Singer actually knew what the fuck he was doing. He'll do a great job as Myers.
-
This should be a great movie, im not to keen on the whole remake thing, i think its being done to often now, revivals work for Live theatre. But Movies it just doesnt seem right(to me anyways).
But its great that the movie has a director who really has a lot of respect for the original and has picked a great cast so far.
cant wait to see Malcom Mcdowell as Dr. Loomis.
-
Or that little turd Cameron Bright.
-
I loved Devil's Rejects, so I wasnt too upset about Zombie being picked to direct. Better that it's somebody with an actual vision than some random doing this remake. But in this movie... they're having Michael Myers be the child of a stripper with an abusive boyfriend, and now Tyler Mane is Michael (muscular guy? I dont know about that) and Zombie's talking about it being a real study about Myers himself, with him being the main character, and we get into his head... if it all comes down to him being the pissed off son of a stripper who was abused, I'll be furious. The whole thing with Myers is an almost complete lack of character, just pure evil.
-
Great fucking choice.
-
So now we will have a WWE looking Myers jerking off to dead animals? LAME! So should we expect Haig, Sherri and the rest of Zombie's gang show up in this useless garbage? Wasnt the coolnees of Myers that he wasnt MASSIVE and he could still kick your ass? Anyone 6'10''.....how am I supposed to believe that anyone could take him down? Ugh. I hope Zombie really kills this remake craze...and his lame movie career next August!!!!
-
I'd smack that fucker all around, make me watch those fucke dup movie's at least he shows his wife naked
-
A nobody, an washed up actor who hasn't done shit in decades, and the guy who ruined Sabretooth. These aren't things you announce, these are things you hide until you have (hopefully) something good to show. This is like showing off that picture of Megatron. I'm sure they'll cut a rocking preview to this shitfest at somepoint, that is what you announce.
-
6'5" Tyler Mane turns the boogyman into his second-rate knock-off, Jason Voorhies. Michael never menaced by his size, at least not in the original. His evil was more cerebral, and psychological than physical. That's what made Carpenter's classic so chilling. The Crystal Lake slasher is camp by comparison. God, I hope this isn't going to be Friday The 13th Part XII!
-
Seriously, Tyler Mane played him like a glorified grunting dog. I'm not pissed at this casting though because Michael Myers is a nonspeaking living tank so as long as I don't have to hear the rassler try to act, I'm ok with "Move here and slash" "Stab her from behind and make the mask look into the light" direction.
-
Sucks to die on Christmas
-
McDowell's Loomis and Mane's Meyers. It's interesting that the Weinsteins seem to be giving Rob Zombie pretty much free reign in casting. Guess they won't start messing with him until filming begins or maybe even until editing.
-
Another fine musical artist joins the hereafter. RIP mack daddy.
-
Jason?
-
What's his power move?
-
I admit I was shocked a little at first, a wtf even came out of my mouth, but then I checked him out in TDR again, and, I can see it. They're going for a bulked out menacing look this time so I can dig it.
-
Tyler Mane tap dancing. Happened on "V.I.P."...and I still have nightmares about it...
-
The tap dancing part or watching the V.I.P. part.
okay, I watched that show also. -
working out? "Help, there's a psycho in the house, body slamming people and talking trash!"
-
I have a problem with how nowadays directors seem to just hire some huge beefy guy when casting Jason, Leatherface, Meyers etc. instead of looking for someone who can bring a certain personality to the character. Which wrestler do you guys think will play Pinhead in the HELLRAISER remake? What about Freddy Krueger in the inevitable NIGHTMARE redux?
-
I met him around the time that x men was out . He was cool, he let me shake the hand he strangled haley berry with , lol. Also, i asked him if he was gonna appear in x-men 2 to which he replied "yeah im gonna be in x men 2". Little did we know that sabertooth/mane wouldnt return, poor guy. Maybe their saving him for the wolverine movie ....
-
nuff said
-
Or are they going to keep the old Shatner one?
-
That should happen eventually.
-
I know that was a rumor on a few websites and let me tell all of you - its not there. NO need to see that one. Though GRINDHOUSE was up before BLACK CHRISTMAS and was great on the big screen in front of a full house in Times Square on Christmas morning.
-
Damn! I was hoping Mike Myers would get it. That would satisfy my sense of symmetry.
-
Too bad the movie will, of necessity, suck.
-
Love both of Rob Zombies other films so i have high hopes for this. Im more of a voorhees fan, although the first two halloween films were cool. Atleast it wont be some by the numbers piece of crap. I cant imagine Zombie catering to the retards, itll be as gory or as tense as it should be. I hope its a 18 though....if its a 15 certificate, then im not gonna watch it. Im fed up with kiddie-lite horror, when i was a kid everything was a fucking 18, now they have horror films for 12 year olds.
-
That is at least he shouldn't be.
I'm a fan of Zombie's radio-played music and I actually liked Devil's Rejects definitely more than Corpses. As for Tyler in the role of Michael Myers - it's all wrong if sticking at all to the original concept. Tyler Mane showed his ego to a lady friend of mine at Wizard World Chicago a few years back after we were done signing and everyone hit the local bars.
Getting back on topic...M. Myers is a lanky dude of slightly than average height. Making him any bigger and bulkier is just lumping him in with Jason and his umpteen copy-cats. The one thing I was really praying for in this reboot was to keep the mask the same as the first film or even 'Resurrection' (the mask was the best part about that film) and for Michael to remain physically as close in character design to the original concept as possible. -
AND PLAY NON IN "SUPERMAN RETURNS AGAIN" WITH JUDE LAW AS ZOD AND HELENA BONHAM CARTER AS URSA. SEARCH YOUR FEELINGS YOU ALL KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE.
-
Bryan Singer shouldn't even be allowed to play that piece of shit video game let alone direct another Superman movie. But the Phantom Zone Villains should return and Tyler Mane would be the perfect Non.
-
....Zombie is a douchebag.Tyler Mane for The Shape? The guy is too big.
-
...what a visionless talentless hack Zombie is.
The son of a stripper? Getting into Myers head? Jerking off to dead animals huh? WTF?? Pathetic. Zombie can pull all this stuff he think is disturbing out of his ass and it just goes to show how unimaginative he is. Will someone explain to his poser that what was so frightening about Myers was the nothing was known about him. Getting into the character makes him Michael Myers, the guy with family issues instead of The Shape-evil personified. What makes him scary is that he killed for no reason - nothing was known about him. Sigh. After 30 years and countless (terrible) sequels theres still only ONE TRUE Halloween movie. -
Would you want to remake haloween, its obviously going to be shit compared to the original.
-
I don’t really get why Zombie would want to remake Halloween – it’s a true classic, and stylistically it’s a polar opposite of the type of films he makes. I guess there’s some guaranteed money built into trying such a high profile remake (Texas Chainsaw anyone?) Still, what gets me is that it’s the subtle elements of suspense that make Halloween so effective – and since Zombie can’t slow down, I think you’re going to end up with something that’s Halloween in name only. Just go back and watch the five minutes leading up to Laurie’s first direct encounter with the shape – slowly walking across the street while Carpenter’s great score sets the ominous tone -what a fantastic example of creating tension. And (Halloween II retcon notwithstanding) what made Myers scary was the fact that there was no clear motive, so creating a back-story also messes with what made the original so great. Halloween is easily one of the scariest films ever made – it’s a shame it has to be revisited. Of course, since the series has already been completely bastardized, why the Hell not? At least in Zombie’s version, Myers probably isn’t going to get into a fist fight with Busta Rhymes (and McDowell is a good choice).
-
All of Zombie's family, in-laws, pets, guys he hangs out with at the bar, every person he ever saw in a movie in the 70's, and some guy he passed on the street.
-
but is he as memorable as Baron Burn?:
http://tinyurl.com/wraah -
Where are we getting all this "Son of a stripper / messed up childhood" shit about the plot from? If these plot details are true, this movie will be crap.
-
Unless Zombie has some kick ass material. I am smelling a Hanibal Rises type thing. He (Zombie) does have respect for the gerne and all but the series has been shit over the crummy ass sequals. Could it be a roboot ala Batman .... now theres some crummy ass sequals - but I doubt it. I smell stinker. The horror gerne is done my friends. Someone, somewhere, needs to come in - be extremely origonal - and produce some kick ass flick - no PG13 buzz kill bullshit.
-
Zombie's casting choices have been even more retarded. I hope this movie fails.
-
But I'm not sure what you can do with this one. The 'guy who stabs girls' genre is so used up, it's difficult to know what new twist you could add to the formula.That said, this Rob Zombie should win some sort of Most Improved award. The House Of Exactly One Thousand Corpses was utter garbage, but I thought Devil's Rejects was actually pretty good.
-
is if it starred Mike Myers as Michael Myers. Then again, I don't like horror movies at all, so I shouldn't even be commenting here...
-
Because kids today can't relate to victims without mobile phones? Who keeps seeing these movies? Other than Vern.
-
Who the fuck cares if the guy has muscles. i doubt your going to see myers with his shirt off. just look at sabertooth, could you tell the guy was ripped. no. he just looked like a big dude. anyways, its not like hes going to say anything anyways.
-
get some new ideas for god's sake and leave the classics alone...
-
When he's seven feet tall and 320 lbs? Does this mean Mike will be pile driving and body slamming people? Just picture Myers ripping his shirt and doing the Hulk Hogan pose.
-
geesh.. change the name of the site to Ain't It Cool OLD News.
-
I check out this site everyday and the feedback just continues to stay the same. Everyone bickers and moans about any type of news regarding any new movies. If you're not going to say something constructive or smart, then why even write anything at all? Save your whining for after the movie comes out in theatres...So far, I think the casting for this movie is very interesting. I like TDR and think that a fresh start to this franchise is much needed. No more generic, unartistic approaches to horror movies would be nice for a change. I mean unless you guys prefer movies like Jason X or Halloween Resurrection...Ha. There is a reason Zombie was picked and it is beyond us at this point to give him crap before we fully understand his vision for the franchise. He seems to respect and admire the early Halloween movies, so that is good enough for me as of now. I believe this movie will surprise a lot of people...
-
If the storyline is anything like the original, how could Michael get that buff while being locked in a room in an insane asylum? How would he have access to the free weights? And how would he have gotten ahold of his protein powder and steroids? I guess Rob isn't going for logic in this remake. I just hope he goes for horror instead of torture.... if that's possible for him, that is.
