Halloween: Rob Zombie's RemakeI just checked out the trailer there and I know many are going to judge it badly immediately but it looks pretty good to me.....I see aswell that Malcolm McDowell is playing Donald Pleasence's role Dr Sam Loomis..from the Original movie..which is kind of a strange choice because I think McDowell can look as crazy himself....but maybe that will add to the movie... Anyway here's the link to the trailer and see what you all think!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtR9Fxz2lng Notice aswell how the music is very similar to Carpenter's but is different |

I'm a huge fan of Carpenter's original, but I am actually looking forward to seeing this. I love Zombie's other films, so I'm optimistic about this. |

Yeah I know exactly where your coming from Rodd I love the original too and when I first heard of a remake I was saying No Way but when you see someone like Rob Zombie at the helm you just got to give him the benefit of the doubt and the trailer does look great!! |

Aye, if anyone can do a remake of such a classic the justice it deserves I think Mr Zombie is one to manage it. |

What do you think of Malcolm mcDowell playing the doctor Donald Pleasence does in the original Rodd? Do you think he is a good choice? |

Not My Thing im afraid. never been into zombie films and not really a big fan of horror. unless it is sci-fi! |

Chump, we're talking about Rob Zombie the director, not actual Zombie films. He's making the remake of Halloween.
Luc, I think McDowell might be good as the Doc. He's sufficiently weird in himself to be quite a creepy character too. |
| Lucifer_666 |
Yep I agree Rodd after all isn't the Doctor mean't to be thought a bit crazy by others in the film? So Malcolm would suffice

Yep - the sheriff definitely thinks he's mad. |

I think before I see the new film I will rewatch the original again just to refresh |
