Halloween II" may not have won the box office this weekend, but Weinstein Co. is taking a lesson from the movie that did as it prepares a sequel for next summer.
The independent studio's co-Chairman Bob Weinstein said today that the 3-D sequel, titled, appropriately enough, "Halloween 3D," is in development.
The investment it takes to shoot movies in digital 3-D has proved particularly lucrative for horror films. For "The Final Destination," this weekend's No. 1 movie, theaters with at least one 3-D screen earned 3.25 times as much as those that showed the movie in 2-D only, according to distributor Warner Bros. That's substantially higher than for other recent releases. The equivalent 3-D multiple for last month's "G-Force," for instance, was only 1.7 on its first weekend. For July's "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" it was 1.4 andm for June's "Up" it was 2.2. January horror flick "My Bloody Valentine" earned 6.4 times as much from 3-D theaters as it did from 2-D on its opening weekend.
Weinstein said Rob Zombie, who directed "Halloween II" and 2007's reboot of the 31-year-old horror series, won't return for "Halloween 3-D." He said the studio is in negotiations with a new director, whom he declined to name, who has experience in horror and has a "different take" on the franchise."
Shocked
But so exited
What does everyone think of this?

Halloween 2 is not mainstream, so if your one of those naive uptight people who don't like 70's grindhouse films see The Final Destination
But Halloween 2 was amazing, do not judge it by reviews.

If Rob Zombie doesn't direct it, or at least a good director, it will be a heaping pile of shit.

I thought #2 was supposed to be the last installment? But whatever, slashers in 3D can't go wrong.

Eh, Halloween III wasn't THAT bad, but of course I certainly wouldn't want it remade. If they're starting over with the series, then what they should do first of all is have take place in the present rather than in the 70s, and Myers should be re-invisioned as someone who isn't superhuman and is actually capable of speaking. Any other ideas?

The remake is NOT in the 70's, they have cell phones and flatscreen tv's.
But moving on
They may make this a sequel to Zombie's still, they should have Laurie have a kid and Michael return, keep it simple.

Yeah, but it would be pretty interesting to have Myers talk, don't you think?

He kinda talks in 2, his younger self speaks for him, Halloween 2 was so freaking amazing and a piece of art.
Lol anyways
I just want Michael, no killer masks, that went over like shot back then, it would again.
