HALLOWEEN

Friday, April 20, 2007 
Here are a few answers to your questions.

IS JAMIE LEE CURTIS GOING TO POP UP IN IT SOMEWHERE EITHER AS A CAMEO OR A SMALL ROLE?

No, Jamie Lee Curtis does not appear in the film. Obviously I think she is great, but I also thought her presence would break the reality of this new film.

DOES JOHN CARPENTER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE NEW MOVIE?

No, other than wishing me well with the project John does not have any involvement.

INSTEAD OF HAVING DANIELLE HARRIS PLAY ANNIE WAS THERE ANY THOUGHT OF HAVING HER PLAY LAURIE?

No, Danielle never wanted to play Laurie. She has always been a fan of the original Annie character and wanted to create the new Annie.

HOW MUCH, IF ANY, CGI WAS USED IN THE FILM MAKING PROCESS?

There are no CGI effects used in this film at all. Everything is an "old school" style gag.

I KNOW THAT CLOCKWORK ORANGE IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES. HOW DID YOU APPROACH MALCOLM MCDOWELL AND WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO WORK WITH HIM?

I am a huge fan of Malcolm and yes A Clockwork Orange is my favorite film. Malcolm was a total blast to work with. He gave a 100% everyday and has created a fresh version of Loomis that is going to blow you guys away. We really get to know Loomis and follow his journey.


HOW HAS THE INSTANT FEEDBACK OF FORUMS, SUCH AS MYSPACE OR MESSAGE BOARDS IN GENERAL, INFLUENCED YOU AS A DIRECTOR? DO THE LIKES OR THE DISLIKES OF YOUR FANBASE INFLUENCED YOUR DECISIONS?

No, as a director you have to hold strong your vision. That is the only way something special can happen. "Too many cooks in the kitchen" is a recipe for disaster. I love the fans, but unfortunately the fans are usually basing their opinions on rumors and false information spread on-line.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU FILMED ON SOME OF THE SAME STREETS AS THE ORIGINAL; WILL ANY OF THE HOUSES FROM THE ORIGINAL APPEAR IN YOUR FILM AT ALL?

Yes, I filmed in Pasadena in and around some of the same locations. In a few scenes you can see some of the famous houses in the background.

DID YOU GET TO WORK WITH ANY OTHER FOLKS WHO WORKED ON THE ORIGINAL HALLOWEEN? HOW CONSCIOUS ARE YOU WITH REGARD TO RECREATING HOW THE MOVIE IS PHOTOGRAPHED?

No, I didn't speak to anyone. As far as the photography I didn't try to recreate the look of the original. This movie has to stand as a fresh film not a copy.

ANY PLANS FOR SEQUELS? WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO TAKE THE FRANCHISE?

I'm sure if the movie does well they will make a sequel. I have no plans to be involved.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE HALLOWEEN TO RE-CREATE? THERE WERE SO MANY OTHER FILMS, WHY HALLOWEEN?

I didn't choose Halloween. Halloween chose me.

I know we haven't seen this film yet, but damn it man your ROB ZOMBIE...if anyone could do it right you are it.

I love the Halloween series...and almost given up on it. I heard you were re-doing it...I fell in love with the idea all over again.

I would really like to stress...if this film is as awesome of an event as I believe it will be. You might wanna think about giving it some further growth.

I would love to see where you take it.

Rob, very impressed with the answers, no matter how far your stardom has gone, or how much $$$ you make, you are still real, and you take the time to respond to your fans.  That is fucking awsome.  Can't wait to see all of your up coming films, and future projects.                  

 A true fan from the begining.

That was a really good question about CGI. Glad to know there is nothing like that in this and that you stayed with the true horror effect. Which I wouldn't think you would use CGI.

Thanks for the Q&A!!

Jan the Raider Fan!!

 
This just make me want to see the film even more. I will get more friends of mine to add you on. You are the shit MR. Rob Zombie. I've always felt this way and I always will. I am so there when this film gets out. Halloween gave me so many nightmares when I was little and I am hoping for this film to do the same.

Great Q&A! Can't wait for opening. Me and my fellow haunters have been watching your progress from the sidelines drooling. We will make ourselves 'felt & seen' when the movie comes around to Long Island, NY!

I love the fact that you take time to answer questions from your fans. Alot of good questions too, I  love that you say Halloween chose you! Can't wait to see your vision that is Michael Myers! Thanks for taking the time out for your fans, I wish there were more "real  people" like you in Hollywodd or whatever, that didn't let the shit go to their head! Keep the answers coming if you find any other "good questions"!!!

Rob is truly the NEW GENERATION of directors. This should be something a DIRECTOR does with each of their movies. Why not? It's the fans who create the buzz. It's the fans who go see the movies. Great Q & A! Can't wait for the film. Many directors crank out the same old type of film every time they do one. However, it truly seems that when Rob does a film...he gets better and better. Look at Corpses....then look at Rejects. Now, think about what you have already seen within the Halloween trailer. And from what Rob says....those clips in the trailer are from the first few days of filming. HOLY FUCK!

I can not wait.

Good shit Rob...

Being that it is "National Pot Smoking Day" and all, I figured it would be appropriate to ask if there is any drug use in your movie? (The girls seem pretty hard... I mean Lynda's got a Slayer shirt on!?!?  Some of the "boyfriends" look like stoners too!!!!!)

I just felt committed to ask in observance of 420.  No need to answer the question though, I'd rather be surprised...

Halloween is my favorite movie and I was hoping that Jamie Lee could somehow find a way in, but I think your answer to why she is not in the movie helps me understand a bit.

Kain

P.S. My second favorite movie is The Devil's Rejects, no brown-nosing intended, it's just the truth.
