Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That list is wack.

There’s a lot of pressure on directors who try to remake beloved films. It doesn’t help if the original director doesn’t like the product and it really doesn’t help if said director is actually insulting you. That seems to be the case regarding two Halloween directors.

In 2007, Rob Zombie filmed a remake of the iconic slasher movie Halloween. The original came out in 1978 and was directed by horror legend John Carpenter. The remake wasn’t received well and had nowhere near the cultural impact of the original. In a recent video in which Carpenter speaks to a group of students at the New York Film Academy, the horror director said some pretty shocking things about Zombie and his remake.

“He lied about me,” Carpenter said, referencing a previous interview Zombie gave regarding production on the remake. “He said I was very cold to him when he told me he was going to make it. Nothing could be further from the truth. I said, ‘Make it your own movie, man. This is yours now. Don’t worry about me.’ I was incredibly supportive. Why that piece of s— lied, I don’t know.”

Carpenter admitted that the whole ordeal influenced his view of Zombie’s remake as well as its sequel which was released in 2009. As expected, he doesn’t think much of them.

“I thought he took away the mystique of the story by explaining too much about [Michael Myers],” Carpenter said. “I don’t care about that. He’s supposed to be a force of nature, he’s supposed to be almost supernatural, and he was too big, it wasn’t normal.”

Meanwhile, Carpenter’s influence on the franchise continues as he’s currently executive producing a new Halloween sequel, as he explained in a statement earlier this year, “Thirty-eight years after the original Halloween I’m going to help to try to make the 10th sequel the scariest of them all.”

Oh i loved both of Zombie´s Halloween. They were different, scary and gore...and they look astonishing.

[VinylGuy]

i NEED to see American Honey now.

[LoathedVermin72]

i NEED to see American Honey now.

yeah

I loved the first because of how brutal it was. He was terrifying. I get why carpenter might not like that take on the character, but at least zombie took it a different way. I really enjoyed it. Didn't care for the second one as much.

Agree..its was brutal, and Zombie is right in giving us all the backstory with Michael. The second one is closer to that idea Carpenter have with the character. I love it too.

Who Lonergan?

I guess. Much bigger fan of his stage work. But this looks awesome. And I big on the cast. Super excited.

It's interesting they are casting some names in this one. I fucking loved the first Pacific Rim, and part of what I loved was that the characters were so one-dimensional, and there was hardly any story -- the whole thing was just an excuse for some kick-butt kaiju action. I hope the sequel doesn't get too high-concept for its own good.

agreed

[lennytheweedwhacker]

pacific rim looked phenomenal, but i could have used a little more depth

[E.H. Ruddock]

I loved the score of Pacific Rim
