Re: Rob Zombie's Halloween 2
I actually disagree. Pleasence's Loomis is his own to such an extent that this Loomis would have to be a departure to ever be accepted at all. Loomis wasn't necessarily a "hero" either. Pleasence's Loomis was arguably as mad as Myers and was unhealthily obsessed in a Captain Ahab sort of way in his pursuit. Let Zombie and McDowell create their own Loomis. Once again, I refer back to my prior argument that while the fanbase seemed to have the hardest time with Zombie's remake aspects of his Halloween while alternately praising his stab at more original storytelling (i.e. backstory), with talk of the sequel they seem to take any changes in the mythos as sacrilegious.
I can see your view if you look at this as a "different character" rather than the Loomis of old. However it would have made tons more sense to actually introduce a new character if Zombie had no intention of keeping Loomis in a normal progression. Why not find out Loomis had a son or something that wanted to finish what his dad never could? THEN you could have a "Loomis character" and make it your own instead of changing a key figure in the legacy of the franchise. That would be "creating their own Loomis", this is only changing someone elses.
As odd as this may sound fucking with the theme bothers me just as much. I have no problem with someone introducing a new version of it (that's been done every movie) but to totally change a key component that has been successful for over 30 years??? That's a recipe for failure.
Then there is my final beef...the storyline sounds fucking retarded!!! It's a Rob Zombie drug induced Lifetime special, at least it sounds like it so far. "More focus on Laurie than Michael"...that's been tried and SUCKED. Now I'm reading Michael is going to see ghosts basically!! WTF????? I read on the IGN website that Zombie just filmed a scene where Michael is chasing Laurie through this field but he sees two ghosts (either in his mind or they are actually there in the field). One is of his mom (Moon) and the other is of him in his clown costume as a child.
I'm sorry but this gets lamer and lamer. I HOPE it turns out much better than I expect and I have to eat my words but I HIGHLY doubt it. My guess is this may be the one that finally really does kill the series.

Meet the new Michael!
Here he is for the first time CHASE VANEK the new young Michael Myers. Chase has been kicking ass on set and we are sure you will love him as much as we do. Chase's favorite question to ask me is "When do I get to kill someone ?" Kind of reminds me of another young Michael I used to know.
