You all remember Rob Zombie's Halloween Remake in 2007 starring Tyler Mane right? Rob Zombie has confirmed that he is going to make a sequel to it! Dimension Films along with Trancas International Films and Rob Zombie are teaming up for another chapter of Halloween, and Rob is racing to scare up the film for release in October.
Zombie will write and direct "H2," the sequel to his 2007 reinvention of the John Carpenter horror classic. Production will begin in March.
The new film picks up right as the first remake ended, following the aftermath of Michael Myers' murderous rampage through the eyes of the sister he hunted. Zombie said it won't resemble the original second installment, as the "House of 1000 Corpses" helmer continues to take the franchise in different directions.
Zombie took Carpenter's original and stamped it with an original storyline that treated Myers as a clinical psychopath. The film grossed almost $80 million worldwide in 2007.
Zombie had told Dimension chief and TWC co-chairman Bob Weinstein he wanted nothing to do with a sequel. But just like the franchise's villain, Zombie was compelled to come back. "I was so burned out. (But) I took a long break, made a record and I got excited again," Zombie said. "Now, we'll be hauling ass, and that's the problem making a movie called 'Halloween': If you come out Nov. 1 or after, nobody cares. If it was called anything else, I'd be fine.

Malek Akkad of Trancas International Films will produce with Spectacle Entertainment's Andy Gould.
