ROB ZOMBIE: 'Who Gives A F*ck What Someone Else Thinks?'

January 12, 2007

Quint of Ain't It Cool News, a web site dedicated to movie news (from the sale of a script to a film's release),has posted a decidedly negative review of an early script of Rob Zombie's upcoming remake of the 1978 horror classic "Halloween". Read the article at www.aintitcool.com.

While Zombie didn't address the review directly, he has posted a message for all those would-be viewers whose expectations of the upcoming film have been lowered as a result of reading the Ain't It Cool News write-up.

Said Rob: "I notice that so many people get crazy when someone you don't even know posts an opinion about what they think 'Halloween' will or won't be. This is crazy. Do you really go through life influenced by the thoughts of others that easily?

"Anyway, things change so much in a movie, from moment to moment, from second to second, that all I can say is: see it for yourself and figure out if you like it or not. Really, who gives a fuck what someone else thinks? Everybody likes different shit for different reasons. But deciding that you hate or love something that doesn't even exist yet? Well, that a little ridiculous."

As previously reported, Zombie has started making a documentary on the production of "Halloween". Zombie wrote in an recent online posting, "Many of you have been asking if I plan on making a 'making of Halloween' documentary similar to the '30 Days In Hell' one on 'The Devil's Rejects' DVD. Well, the answer is yes. We started shooting on the first day of pre-production and we will continue up until we are finished."

Zombie also wrote that he's seen the finished mask that will be worn by "Halloween"'s killer, Michael Myers, and commented, "All I can say is 'HOLY F***.'It looks perfect. Exactly like the original. Not since 1978 has (Myers) looked so good."

"Halloween" is due in theatres on August 31, 2007. Filming begins later this month. The movie is Zombie's third feature film as a director after 2003's "House of 1000 Corpses" and 2005's "The Devil's Rejects".

As reported last week, Zombie announced that he is working on a boxed set for his previous band, WHITE ZOMBIE. A solo live album is also scheduled for release sometime early this year.
