Zombie goes into his thoughts on remakes, to the rumors that the script has been re-written due to complaints from the horror community, to everything in between. Here’s a little snippet of fun when asked about his goal for this movie: My goal is to retain what everyone enjoys about the character of Michael Myers but present it in such a different light that you can’t sit there and compare and contrast, which is a waste of time.
The guy has a point about how remakes shouldn’t be compared to the original, and should be seen as two separate films… though, I must say, it’s stated like someone directing a remake would state it- of course he’s down with it, he’s the one doing the remaking! And saying that you can’t compare the original to the remake… what a load of crap. You can judge it as a film on it’s own, yes- but you will always compare the two- it would be impossible not to.
