Rob Zombie confirms Strode's return in H2.....

[T.ROSS]

We broke the news here weeks ago that Scout Taylor-Compton will be returning in H2 as Laurie Strode and that Malcolm McDowell will return as Dr. Sam Loomis. In a new interview with Rob Zombie, he confirms our report and explains what type of role Compton's character will have in the sequel to his remake of HALLOWEEN, which hits theaters August 28th.

After surviving the attack of her brother, Laurie is now a mess as Zombie explains, "now she’s not the happy-go-lucky girl, now she’s very fucked up famous person, trying to make sense of this," he tells Icons of Fright.

"She hasn’t seen the script yet, so she’s not sure what’s happening. But I put a lot of good stuff into her character. It’s a real kick-ass film."

Zombie continues talking about where the film picks up. "It takes place over some time, but it starts that night and then essentially, I mean… the first one, Laurie has no idea what just happened. But then she wakes up the next day and someone’s going, “Oh by the way, your parents are dead. All your friends are dead. And actually, your brother is uh, Charles Manson.” (Laughs) You know? “How do you feel about that?” See what I mean?"

In the official press release the synopsis explained that 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.

As for Malcolm McDowell returning as Dr. Sam Loomis, Zombie explains that his deal isn't signed yet (even though we've been told he's already secured for three films), but he'll most likely return.

"Most likely. It’s one of those things… I don’t know who’s back until everyone’s signs their deal! (Laughs) You never know what’s going to happen. I mean, me and Malcolm… Malcolm’s a wonderful guy, and we’re still good friends through this whole thing. We talk about it all the time. I’m pretty sure Malcolm is going to be back. But you never know."

I'm going to have to force myself to watch the first one (remake) from beginning to end. I've been putting it off long enough.

[T.ROSS]

Do it, now. Get back to us with your thoughts, I like the film, everyone else hates it.

[Tyler Lovemark]

I didn't like the remake at all.  But because I'm such a huge fan (see: whore) of the original, I'll probably end up seeing  this sequel.

I too am a huge fan of the original, It is on my top 5 favorite films of all time. I love the 2nd one too. But I dont think Zombie's sequel is going to have the hostpital scenerio like the orginal sequel did.

I have yet to meet another human being that doesn't like Halloween, unless they don't like horror in general. I really find it dull but quite like the sequel.  I have yet to see the remake. I have yet to use the term "have yet" three times in this post. Oh there it was.

I'd hope Zombie could make it more intense, but I have a feeling he's play to all the weaknesses and not the strengths. But that's only based on interviews, I've never seen his films.

Dalmatainjaws you shoud watch The Devil's Rejects soon, and get back to me with your thoughts. House of 1000 Corpses isnt that good to me, I dont recommend that one at all.
