Considering the flop that we now know as Halloween 2 failed epicly at the box office I thought it was finally safe to say that The Halloween saga had finally come to an end. Well, unfortunately it would appear that I was wrong and Hollywood has no concept of when to lay a franchise to rest.
From what I've heard is that yet another Halloween film has been green-lighted, but this time Rob Zombie is not set to direct. He seems to have grown tired and disillusioned with the series while he was in the middle of the 2nd film. This may explain why Halloween 2 was so poorly done and felt so rushed. Anyways, The new director is rumored to be either Steve Miner or Patrick Lussier.
BUT WAIT, it gets worse. You're gonna have to hold your nose for this one folks because it has been confirmed that Halloween 3 will be filmed entirely in 3-D. Hollywood has really taken a unique effect and just axed it to pieces. OH NO, BODY PARTS FLYING AT MY FACE!!! gag me. the last 2 really good 3-D films I've seen were Monsters Vs. Aliens and Coraline. With My Bloody Valentine 3-D and G-Force in 3-D it seems like 3-D is now being used to cover the fact that some films are really crappy, hoping that having random crap fly out at the audience will distract us from realizing that we're witnessing the death of American Cinema. It really saddens me.
With Halloween 3-D I'm guessing that we can expect to see flying blood, body parts, and a crappy production value. I can only hope and pray that Halloween 3 will be the stake in the coffin of cheap 3-D effects. Halloween 3-D is currently slated for a 2010 release, so if you like the idea of havin Michael Meyers stab you to death via some crappy 3-D effects you don't have much longer to wait.
Till then I'm Beetlejuice and you've just been BUGGED.
Didn't see Halloween 2 yet, but am getting sick of the lack of originality in Hollywood. Too many remakes, reboots and re-imagining...
