You have the power John, us students don't, make us love the dark side of films again please, some of John's films have the best endings ever, not The ( yawn ) shawshank redemption. Art is not money.

George A Romero, George Miller, John Carpenter, a succession of imagination over budget geniuses.

There is more power in the imagination and what is implied. Michael Myers, a faceless psychopath of terryfying strength and a preternatural ubiquity. "A little human compassion", jeez Kurt must feel sold out.

PLease make more films JOhn, your talent is unrivalled, you INVENTED the synth movie, you are a lot more important than any REMAKE of your films. Give us dark and twisted analogue genius again, and use Kurt while he is still here. We want more films from John Carpenter, I’m a uni student in Film/Tv and were studying Halloween recently.

You know stuff like this flies round Hollywood all the time, possible remakes and pending ideas. This clearly has created some sort of an uproar. If you happen to love movies considered cult classics you'll know as many of you have said this WAS a bad idea. There's only one Snake, Butler is a Spartan not a cult hero (yet), nor would he be from playing Snake. Someone needs to write an original movie for Butler to then prove us wrong, then maybe we'll look back in 15 years and say "wow how great was he?" or let some bitch (LH) slag him off caus there's a new popular square jaw punk on the scene. Just to sign off 'casey self'... your a cunt! Firstly I know I’m late here but I have enjoyed reading this.

The oldness will just make him more badass since they have to completely change the time period of the movie anyway. Anywho don't dog on King Leonidas, everyone got chills from his persian raping badassness in 300. And why do girls like him so much? was it the 300 beard? Fuck it i'm growing one.
