According to Variety, My Bloody Valentine 3D director Patrick Lussier is in talks to take over the franchise recently resurrected by Rob Zombie and write and direct the recently-announced Halloween 3D with plans to have it ready for a summer 2010 release. Dimension have also tapped Ehren Kruger (The Ring) to adapt Stephen King's short story Children of the Corn into a new movie. The story of a boy preacher who persuades the kids of a Nebraska town to kill all the adults was previously turned into a movie in 1984, and that went on to spawn six ridiculous sequels.
I thought Patrick did a good job with the My Bloody Valentine remake, so I have complete faith that he will do a plesant job with the next Halloween film. I do wonder if Scout Taylor Compton and Malcolm McDonnell will return to the next film, or will Lussier go a different direction and recast both roles, since SPOILER ALERT: Loomis is presumed dead and Laurie wound up in a mental institution. I am worried about H3D since word on the street is that Dimension Films is running out of money. Inglorious Basterds exceeded expectations, and Halloween 2 is considered a commercial and financial failure, getting it's ass handed to them on a dingy white trash plate by Final Destination 4. So no word what may happen with Alexandre Aja's Pirahna 3D, Halloween 3D, and the upcoming Scream sequels. Hopefully they can work it out financially and we'll get to see all the films on the Dimension roster. Now if only Dimenasion would take a chance and maybe come up with some original horror ideas instead of following the remake flock, maybe they'll make some money.
