Halloween
is a reimagining of the 1978 film of the same name. The film was written,
produced and directed by Rob Zombie, and is scheduled to be released in the
United States of America (U.S.) and Canada on August 31, 2007, and an October,
2007 release internationally. The film will star Malcolm McDowell, Tyler Mane,
Brad Dourif, Danielle Harris and several unknowns in other roles, including Daeg
Faerch and Scout Taylor-Compton. Reports indicate that the film will not be a
straight remake of the 1978 original, but rather an updated re-imagining.
