Fangoria chatted it up with John Carpenter, and he had a few interesting, and a few depressing things to say. Number one is in regards to those HALLOWEEN remake rumors that have a roach-like ability to survive.
No one has talked to me about writing or directing the next HALLOWEEN. And even if they did, I don’t know if I would be inclined to write another one, BUT I have no problem with the Akkads. They pay me a whole lot of money every time they make one of those things.
In regards to H20 he had this to say, They wanted me to do H20 for peanuts, and I said, ‘I work for more than that.’
Carpenter also indicated that the 13TH APOSTLE is on hold for now.
That’s one I might direct, but it’s all a matter of whether they have enough money to make the movie right and if they have enough to pay me.
I’ll give him this, the man knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to say it. Plus you can probably get him to direct your wedding video if you price it right.
