Zombie Confirmed for Halloween Sequel Source: Dimension Films December 16, 2008 Dimension Films has announced that the company will make H2, the sequel to Rob Zombie's 2007 reinvention of the horror classic Halloween. Once again, Rob Zombie has been tapped to write and direct. Malek Akkad of Trancas International Films, who also produced 2007's Halloween with Dimension, will produce the sequel, along with Andy Gould of Spectacle Entertainment Group, Zombie's long time manager and producing partner. The announcement was made today by Bob Weinstein, Co-Chairman of The Weinstein Company. Dimension's Halloween scored the highest Labor Day weekend opening ever with a record-breaking $30.6 million in its first four days of release and went on to gross nearly $60 million at the domestic box office in 2007. Zombie's H2 will pick up at the exact moment the first movie stopped and follow the aftermath of Michael Myers murderous rampage through the eyes of heroine Laurie Strode. Bob Weinstein stated: "Following the success of 2007's 'Halloween,' we are thrilled to be back in business with Rob Zombie, bringing a sequel to theaters. The fans have made it clear – and we agree - that they feel the franchise is in great hands with Rob Zombie." Rob Zombie said, "I am very excited to be working with Bob Weinstein again and returning to the world of 'Halloween.' The remake laid the groundwork, now it's time to really take Michael Myers to the next level. I believe we've just barely scratched the surface of where we can take this series." "I am thrilled to be making 'H2' at Dimension, the home of the 'Halloween' franchise for the last 15 years," commented Malek Akkad. "I look forward to working again with Bob Weinstein, as well as a filmmaker of Rob Zombie's talent and stature." |

Supposedly it's not a direct remake of Halloween II, but a continuation of Zombie's remake of Halloween. Whatever that means. |

Actually if you buy that directors print put out a few months it was a whole new movie and a better one. But i actually really dug Zombies remake with the back story and such. It was very bleak and none of the bullshit everything after Halloween 4 had to offer... |
