ROB ZOMBIE Says 'Halloween' Is In Its 'Final Stages'
July 20, 2007Rob Zombie has issued the following update on his latest film, an adaptation of the 1978 horror classic "Halloween":
"Well, we are in the final stages of 'Halloween' here. Starting on Monday [July 23] we begin color timing and mixing the sound and then I am done! Soon Michael [Myers, the film's lead character] will be back on the big screen where he belongs."
Zombie recently commented on the reports that he has quietly gone about shooting new material for "Halloween", including a brand new ending for the film. According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, Zombie spent a week shooting additional scenes of "violence, gore and bloodshed," including six new death sequences and the new finale, which was described as "quite gruesome." Sources told Launch that the additional scenes were shot as a result of audience response to a test screening of the film's initial cut that was held last month.
Said Zombie: "Dimension [Films] let me go film a couple new things that I thought the film needed and that's what I did. This is a good thing, so don't go worrying that something has gone wrong. The film still opens August 31 and kicks total ass. 'Nuff said."
"Halloween" is Zombie's third effort as a screenwriter and feature director.
Zombie was rumored to be touring this fall as special guest of BLACK SABBATH offshoot HEAVEN AND HELL, but that slot has been taken by ALICE COOPER.
Zombie is preparing a live album for release in August and is also said to be working on a box set from his previous band, WHITE ZOMBIE.
