Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Don Kaye:
ROB ZOMBIE already has the cameras rolling before shooting one frame of his upcoming remake of Halloween. The rocker-turned-director has started making a documentary on the production of Halloween, according to an update on his MySpace page. Zombie wrote, "Many of you have been asking if I plan on making a 'making of Halloween'documentary similar to the '30 Days In Hell'one on The Devil's Rejects DVD. Well, the answer is yes. We started shooting on the first day of pre-production and we will continue up until we are finished."
Zombie also wrote that he's seen the finished mask that will be worn by Halloween's killer, Michael Myers, and commented, "All I can say is 'HOLY F***.'It looks perfect. Exactly like the original. Not since 1978 has (Myers) looked so good."
Zombie recently announced that X-Men and The Devil's Rejects actor Tyler Mane will play Michael Myers, while A Clockwork Orange star Malcolm McDowell will appear as Dr. Loomis, the psychiatrist pursuing Myers.
Halloween is due in theatres on August 31st, 2007. Filming begins later this month. The movie is Zombie's third feature film as a director after 2003's House of 1000 Corpses and 2005's The Devil's Rejects.
As reported yesterday (Thursday, January 4th), Zombie announced that he is working on a boxed set for his previous band, WHITE ZOMBIE. A solo live album is also scheduled for release sometime early this year.
