I know he has his fans, but personally, never found him to be a remarkable addition or imitation for the series. With 'The Final Destination' (aka, FD4) beating out Halloween II's spot in the box office this weekend, I suppose a new way to look at Myers and such would be to bring in a new director, hopefully one who chooses to ignore H2's 'hobo-myers'. :D
The question is, are the creators jumping the gun? It sure seems like a solid plan, given how 3D films have generated quite the buzz, especially the 'My Bloody Valentine 3D' remake. Plus it appears after 10 films that the Halloween franchise is indeed immortal. But just how much will the public take? Will an IMAX and in-your-face approach be the stepping stone to bring the series back on track, or is it a gimmick that in one year's time, will have run out of steam?
Whatever the case, it will be interesting to see how this adventure turns out in Summer of 2010. Meanwhile, post here on your opinions of the films; did Zombie's reign help or harm the character; will Myers finally be laid to rest? You decide: 3D - good, or nasty?
...but without Rob Zombie! :)
