Rob Zombie tells us what we can expect his Michael Myers to look like!? Radical departure or everyone's favorite Shatner mask???
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a teeny tiny tidbit from Rob Zombie regarding his HALLOWEEN semi-remake/prequel thing. He's been using his MySpace page to announce cast (the biggies so far being Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis and Tyler Mane as Myers... love the former, waiting to be convinced of the latter... but since he doesn't open his mouth and we don't see his face, it'll be hard for him to screw it up).
This time he updated with his excitement over his first viewing of the new Michael Myers mask.
I've just seen Wayne Toth's finished mask for Michael and all I can say is "HOLY FUCK". It looks perfect. exactly like the original. Not since 1978 has the shape looked so good. Wayne worked this sucker to death and boy did it pay off.
You'd think that'd be a given, but these days you can never assume a remake or a prequel will make the obvious, smart choices... like keeping an iconic character recognizable. I'm not a fan of the ramped up remakes of late, but I've always been less resistant to these ideas when in the hands of someone talented and passionate about the original. Zombie's DEVIL'S REJECTS had a great, '70s grindhouse type feel to it. I'm still wary, but better him that Paul WS Anderson, eh?
