Over the weekend, my horror-loving cousin got to meet Tyler Mane who played the adult Michael Myers in ROB ZOMBIE’S HALLOWEEN. Upon learning this, the first thing I asked was, “did he mention anything about a sequel.” Sadly, my cousin said, “no.” However, today, as luck or coincidence may have it… I came across some news that actually got me an answer! Check this shit out!
A couple months ago I mentioned that Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo (the team behind the brilliant INSIDE) may have been in talks with Bob Weinstein and Dimension about continuing what Mr. Zombie had started. Now, thanks to an article in Rue Morgue Magazine, we have further confirmation that this is indeed the case! Here’s a brief snippet of what was said:
“it’s a proposition we couldn’t refuse,” Maury explained and added that he and Bustillo are well aware of Zombie’s re-imagining of Michael Myers and they’re out to put their stamp on the character, not copy what came before them. “Therefore, our vision will be done with utmost respect, with a continuity of [Zombie’s] work but also a real evolution of the world he set in place.”
Hell yes!!! I hope they’re speaking the truth and the notion of seeing Michael Myers again on the big screen is closer than we think! I already can’t friggin’ wait! To read the full interview, simply grab yourself a copy of the September issue of Rue Morgue Magazine when it hits stands around next week!
