I’m long past getting upset over Hollywood remakes of horror classics. After all they already remake DAWN OF THE DEAD, which was the “sacred cow” movie for me. Now that DAWN has been remade (and I actually really liked the remake), nothing really comes as a surprise. But now the Weinstein brothers have announced they are planning a remake of the John Carpenter classic HALLOWEEN. According to the New York Times: “Under the separation agreement between the Weinsteins and Disney, the brothers were given sequel rights to 15 franchise or potentially franchise projects, including a remake of HALLOWEEN.” This looks like a project guaranteed to infuse some cash into the coffers of the new Weinstein Company, so I am predicting this will hit theaters around Halloween 2006. Mark your calendars.
