Update: Halloween 3D gets a director

by Shaun Davis

The third horror has a confirmed director.

halloweenThere’s good news for Halloween fans as the third instalment in the rebooted saga – titled Halloween 3D – has landed itself a director. As reported by Fangoria earlier this month, the man set to take the reins from Rob Zombie (who will be now focusing his attentions on remaking The Blob) is Patrick Lussier.

Confirmed by Bloody Disgusting, Lussier will be working with My Bloody Valentine 3D and, er, Messengers 2: The Scarecrow screenwriter Todd Farmer.

Previously, Lussier has earned his stripes at Dimension Films cutting together the Scream trilogy, directing Dracula 2000 plus its sequels and most recently My Bloody Valentine 3D. The aforementioned foray into three-dimensional filmmaking signals that Lussier is certainly the right fit to helm this new Michael Myers adventure.

At this time Halloween 3D is scheduled to start filming this autumn.

      For anyone interested in the Halloween series(1978-present), listen to the Now Playing podcasts available for free on iTunes, three very entertaining and knowledgable guys discus the series one movie at a time. Right now they’ve just done Halloween 2, in a week or so, Halloween 3 will be up. Great stuff, they’ve also done the Star Trek-, Terminator-, Friday The 13th- movies. Extremely educating and entertaining.

      on-topic: 3D always seems to me like a bad idear for these horror movies. You want believability in order to get the audience scared, but with 3D the audience will be too consious it’s a movie with new technology. Doesn’t work in my opinion.
