STRAIGHT WTF?????

A remake of John Carpenter's classic slasher flick Halloween has been given the green light and tipped to land the lead scream role is Black Eyed Peas star Fergie.

Rocker-turned-horror director Rob Zombie is set to direct the new version of the seminal slasher flick. The hairy metal head's version will also act as a prequel to the John Carpenter classic, telling the story of Michael Myers' early years.

And Fergie, real name Stacey Ferguson, is set to play Laurie - the part that made Jamie Lee Curtis a star and the only girl who managed to slip between Michael Myers' psychotic fingers.

Rob told halloweenmovies.com: "I am basically making a prequel and a semi-remake of the first film all in one. So really in theory there will be more original content than remake content. That's why I don't like the word "remake."

"I wouldn't even go near this project if I didn't feel like a had a fresh, worthwhile approach to the material. Besides, I'm not touching one single frame of Carpenter's classic. That film will remain as it always has."

"I talked to John about it and he was very supportive. He basically said, 'That's great Rob, go for it and make it your own'. What more do I need?"

Zombie made a name for himself in the horror field with the critically acclaimed House Of 1000 Corpses and sequel Devil's Rejects.

gross! the kirstie alley of faux hip-hop? ewww!

The screenplay is said to be so frightening that "you will wet your Fergies".

The news of this remake has gone from troublesome to disastrous.

It would be FABULOUS casting if she would play Michael Myers...wouldn't even need a mask!

VoicesCarry said:

This is true...

I'll definitely be rooting for Michael Myers in this one.

But she WILL lend credence to the classic line from the original:

"Poor Laurie, scared another one away..."

whats wrong with zombie? Devils is a masterpiece.

I wonder who else is apart of the cast. Fergie is the last person who I thought Rob would cast.

VoicesCarry said:

so wrong

VoicesCarry said:

This is not true. At most, it's unsubstantiated rumor. In fact, the bolded part has nothing to do at all with the casting. He made those comments this past summer in reference to making the movie at all, NOT about casting Fergie. There have been no announcements about casting. This is one of Zombie's favorite movies, and I can't see him wanting to fuck it up like that.

there are going to be Farscape characters in the Halloween re-make?

You called her Fuggie! WTF!


...wow...

Ok...I just wanna say.. VC is so stupid

the "not playing Michael Myers" just cracked me up....


lawd...lol

Girl, he has had me dying with calling that poor child FUGGIE for the LONGEST time

TommyRoss said:

Exactly! I knew you'd post on this thread.

Janfriend said:

vc likes to be catty and talk shit about anything and everything he personally doesnt like...cause, exhausting life's energy on the negative is perfectly okay to him.

I like how Rob Zombie says he doesnt like the word "Remake", how about "Cashing in" is that better. You arent creating anything when you are using someone else's characters, even if he is writing a totally new script and new actors, he's using a character and a storyline that has already been done. Between movies and music i have never seen such a lack of being able to do something original.

"Now you're hearing obscene chewing! You're losing it Laurie."

sosgemini said:

oh no you didn't

let me find a pic of tamar...

I don't know who the hell she is but the movie sounds like it will be interesting. I love "Halloween".

sosgemini said:

And you can't resist talking about ME all the time. I must be your FAVORITE orger

Rhondab said:

and ya know what? when i sense that i am being a tad too negative i do take a break from the org (or specific forums)...cause its just not healthy, well...healthy for me anyways. to each its own i guess.

VoicesCarry said:

Where did I see this yesterday?

MikeMatronik said:

I think it was in Regina Spektor's orgnote to you.

VoicesCarry said:

VoicesCarry said:

no, im not talking about you...im just trying to encourage you to tone it the fuck down...cause your all over this site of late and its impossible to avoid the smarm.

sosgemini said:

Then why didn't you ever send me an orgnote if you were so bothered by me, instead of responding to many of my posts with bitchy comments? Or you could just take your own advice, say to each his own and ignore me. If you can't ignore posts or orgers you don't like, it's NOT my problem.

sosgemini said:

Wow. So far you've referred to him as an "it" (to each its own) and as smarm. Speaking of negative, maybe it's time for your break.

VoicesCarry said:

trust me, i do try to ignore the bulk of your comments..you post, what? 70 a day? its just mathematically impossible.

TommyRoss said:

that wasnt intentional...that was a grammer error. and im not refering to him as smarm...just his posts. and your right, maybe it is time for me to take a break...
