Rob Zombie has signed a two picture deal with Dimension Films, Halloween has already broken the Labor Day weekend record (aiming to take $32 million) ,well over the film’s estimated $15 million budget (despite god awful reviews from both fans and critics). But the question now becomes, will they make a sequel (And if so, will it be called Halloween 2, Halloween 10, or something else?)?
Weinstein Company head Bob Weinstein tells Reuters:
“I never say never never … but it would have to be something very, very different.”
With the re-envisioning / remake set to make 80+ million domestically, god knows how much worldwide, and even more on home video, I can’t see how Bob Weinstein won’t be able to find “something very, very different.” In Hollywood, it’s money (not ideas or story) that talks. Another question might be, does Rob Zombie have any interest in returning for a sequel. My quick guess is, probably not.

They should call it Halloweener.

Rob has other things to work on, and he’s already said that he won’t come back for another Halloween flick. I mean, how could he? His version of Halloween ended on a final note, and if you’ve seen it then you know that there can’t be another one in Rob’s universe.
Rob is one of the few film makers that won’t make something for money, and I respect him for that. The fact that his characters stay dead is also what I love about his movies. I’m sure there will be another Halloween flick, but it will probably be in the vein of Jason X or some type of spin off to catch on the popularity of the franchise.

I think that another Halloween would be a horrible idea, but I’d probably go see it anyway.

The movie was great, and any one who says it was not is stupid. More people on Fandango said it was great then said it was not. I saw it and loved it. It was different. It had story and feeling. You went in expecting something, and didn’t get what you expected and said this sucks. Watch it again with an open mind and see the beauty that this Halloween was. It was a new story not the same old shit. Everyone wanted to see them same movie with younger people, but then they really would have bitched. Just like Psycho. Or, we could have had another one with Busta Rhymes and you all could have bitched. We got a great story, and well you all bitched. Fact is, there is no pleasing any of you. You are gonna complain no matter what, so just shut up.

“….The movie was great, and any one who says it was not is stupid.”
I would expect a line like this from someone who would like this movie….
The sequel title could be “Halloween: kicking the dead horse”

Personally I liked the movie, I’m a big Michael myers fan, even though it looks as if the movie ended on a final note, i’m still hoping for a sequel.

WELL IN THE US AND UK THERE WERE 2 DIFFERENT VERSIONS. IN THE US VERSION LAURIE SHOOTS MICHAEL IN THE HEAD AT THE END. IN THE EUROPE VERSION MICHAEL DOES NOT KILL DR.LUMIS HE LATER HANDS OVER LAURIE TO THE POLICE AND DR.LUMIS. THEY LATER GUN MICHAEL DOWN AND HE BODY JUST SITS THERE.
I HAVE A STRONG FEELING THERE WILL BE A 2ND

Rob’s version was not as good as the original film but was still very good. Maybe he could do justice to the 2nd Halloween! I hope he changes his mind and makes a 2nd Halloween.

In my opinion all of us have to be thankfull about the Halloween remake because once and for all we will have after so many years of waiting the missing link that will be Halloween 3.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:04 am
they could make a sequle if they want to because michael myers cant die….hes evil! so it would be cool to see another Halloween film but they should start where they left off with Halloween resurrection… they really cant make a sequle with the ending Rob Zombie made…

I think Zombie’s remake was kick ass. I liked the originals and all, but he brought the dark character of who MM really was to life. Even though Zombie won’t return to make a sequel (which I respect), I would be interested in seeing a whole new line of Halloween. The old series sucked… It was good for its time but it can be much darker now. And what the fuck was with Halloween 3 and Halloween Resurrection?? Those were horrible.

Wow =, I’m sorry but for all of u who r saying thath the movie was good….ARE U NUTS!! it was nothing but a bunch of sex, blood, and vulgar language!! He had NO depth to the characters, if he would have had a lesser body count, less naked women running and screaming and maybe some kind of a difference between the slutty characters (P.S when did Laurie become such a skank?) then maybe it would be better. I nevere cared about them, I practically begged for MM to kill Annie, she was annoying!

I Think they should make a Halloween movie with Michael being more human .He should be more romantic,and find a girlfriend.
January 9th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
They should keep on with the Michael Myers story.It would be so stupid to have a Michael and Jason movie .It is better with just Michael by himself.
January 10th, 2008 at 1:42 am
I think that there is always a way around things like in halloween h20 and ressuirection.
For all we know it could have ben somoene else another vixtim in that suit and they pushed her off the balcony to get away from michael. I mean in ressurection they showed you that the security god was the one laurie killed.
This would then tie in with the h20 and ressurection versaion because it would mean that in the begiining laurie killed the wrong person and then in the end kiling the wrong person ultimately ended in michael tracking her down in the sanitarium and killing her. All it would take is for a dr in the next movie to be explaing this to someone investigating michael myers murders and it would keep people up to date and make the movie make more sence

I hope they do make a Halloween 2 remake with Michael and his sister being reuinted at Smith’s Gorve Sanitarium.
January 19th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
It wolud g oood to make remake at Smith’s Grove Sanitarium with Michael in maximum Security ward in a locked cell.
January 19th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Michael should be in love with the girl who was in his room in the rob zombie Halloween remake . she was very cute and would be perfect for Michael.

IM A BIG MICHAEL MYERS FAN, AND I ALWAYS HAV BEEN SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KIDD. ALL MY FRIENDS LOVED IT TOO, AND IT WAS LIKE THA HIGEST IN MY TOWN AND I LIVED IN A HUGE TOWN AND IT MADE THA MOST MONEY. THA Halloween that Rob Zomie made was tha total Bomd. It was Badass! Excuse my Language! It seemed like He was a HELL of alot Stronger, and he also walkd fast sometime, but mostly slow, but whn he was tryna kill some 1 he walkd fast and it was awesome. And in tha other remake in 2000 with jamie lee curtis and josh hartnett was good, but original. But in ROB ZOMBIES!……It was flippin Awesome!! Like when he was juss bustin right thru tha doors, and in tha other one’s he juss punched thru it and it took him a minute to get in thru tha door.. But in tha other one he just waslks right thru it!!! And when he was attackin someone, um….like…..tha screen was shakin around like tha grond waa shaking or something! That’s what made tha movie so much better! Plus im a GUY and i thot it was sexy! Like when tha gut in girl were on tha couch doin tha nasty and Michael Myers came in and killed them both. but i know that what i say wont make them or want to make a final sequel to tha Rob Zombie ”Halloween” Movie. And they should call it Halloween…..The ”Last of Michael Myers”!! I think that souds good, and then after that we can be done with them once and for all. But i hope they do make a sequel to Halloween, cuz that would tha BOMB!!!!
March 14th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
I think They should have Michael find himself a Girlfriend. What do you think? Please post a comment on this suggestion for a Halloween movie sequel.
March 22nd, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I think they could make a Halloween 2 Because of the 2th ending Michael Myers could of done the Halloween Resurrection thing by switching the bodys and run away
March 26th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Facts are the weinstein brothers have already announced no sequel to Zombie’s halloween. I would personally love to see another one but New Line won’t do it for some reason. Now we get to look forward to other remakes like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm street
March 27th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
i think that rob’s halloween was damn good and I will look forward to another movie made by him.
May 27th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
man! I hope that Rob or the people associated with him while he was remaking the first one does a part II wich would b bogus on ROB AND DEMENTION’S PART if They don’t they can’t make a movie this one and thats it
the end kinda left u hangin and l wanted more
like is he really dead?
is the girl he raped pregnent and going 2 keep the baby?
what happens Lori?
Is Loomis really dead?
etc.
May 27th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Did Michael really rapee that girl that was in his room ? If he did he could be the father of her baby. Oh boy “”
