'Halloween' Coming Soon For ROB ZOMBIE

September 26, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: ROB ZOMBIE finishes his tour with GODSMACK next Sunday (October 1) in Concord, California and will start pre-production for his remake of the 1978 horror classic, "Halloween". Zombie, who is writing the screenplay as well as directing the film, told Launch that retaining what people loved about "Halloween" while also taking a fresh approach is his biggest challenge. "It's finding a way to make those elements that are so familiar and so iconic new again without ruining them," he said. "I mean, that is really the delicate balancing act. And I think it can be done, I think most of the time it's not done. I think you just have to go into a project like this, not with a chainsaw, but with a precision laser as to how you're gonna cut things apart and piece them back together so that you sort of satisfy all sides."

Zombie's take on "Halloween" is tentatively due out on October 19, 2007.

The original movie, directed by John Carpenter and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, is one of the most influential horror films of all time.

This will be Zombie's third film as a director, following 2003's "House of 1000 Corpses" and 2005's "The Devil's Rejects".

Zombie and GODSMACK play tonight (Tuesday, September 26) in Boise, Idaho. Zombie has been supporting his third solo album, "Educated Horses".
