Michael in prison for 40 years? I guess with all our 21st century media and technology, his face won't be any kind of mystery anymore.
Somewhat demystifying for a "force of nature".
Myers back specifically after Laurie Strode (sister or not) again - who's haunted by him and prepping to finally face off with him directly?
Sounds a lot like HALLOWEEN:H40 - FORTY YEARS LATER to me.
I'd rather Myers appeared out of nowhere and stalked fresh victims in Haddonfield - then somehow have Laurie become aware of this and (in a Loomis-type role) help track Myers down and save his targets.
It would effectively give Curtis the Donald Pleasence role and empower Laurie as Myers' new nemesis, rather than just have her as his target and the victim.........yet again.
I'm keeping my expectations low for this one.

It would effectively give Curtis the Donald Pleasence role and empower Laurie as Myers' new nemesis, rather than just have her as his target and the victim.........yet again. I'm keeping my expectations low for this one. From everything I've heard Laurie does seem to be adopting the Loomis-ish role. Not that she is tracking him, but that she has been preparing for him for a long time. Her granddaughter is supposed to be the new target, and she is supposed to be prepping to defend her home with weapons and traps and such. It does seem that he was supposedly in an asylum for all these years, but they've also said they reference each of the movies in one way or the other, so I wonder why they'd say he's been in the asylum for 40 years instead of just saying that he'd killed again in some of the intervening years and has only been locked up for a shorter stretch of time. But the word is that Laurie has been hoping to kill Michael for a long time and dedicated herself to being prepared for him, knowing that he'd eventually be back. So it does sound awfully Loomis-ish. Perhaps it's a mistake on my part, but my expectations are fairly high. They've got a quality director and creative team, Carpenter is involved, Jamie Lee Curtis is involved in it, for the most part the small bits of the story I've heard sound intriguing, and those who have already seen it are said to have been impressed by the trailer. But yeah, H40... Hard to ignore that. |

Here's the teaser for the trailer. What a stupid marketing tool.

I can see how it might look that way but I still don't share that perception. Loomis was frantically tracking Myers, recognising the danger he posed to others - not bracing himself for Myers to come after himself. Laurie here seems to have it all figured out that Myers is specifically after her - and therefore not necessarily an open danger to indiscriminate random targets. Knowing that Myers would be back - and back after her - and preparing for him, makes Laurie seem a better authority on Myers' psyche than Loomis ever was. He could only diagnose Michael as "purely and simply evil". Laurie here seems to have him all weighed up and decided it's all about her.......or her further offspring. If she's no longer his sister in this one, the plot suggests that she might as well be! |

If she's no longer his sister in this one, the plot suggests that she might as well be! Yeah, but the point is that she is proactive and aggressive and intelligent and not, as you had suggested before, just simply being victimized yet again. Also, at this stage we don't actually know most of these details. We are making assumptions and speculations. We don't know that she is being targeted specifically by him. That's just an assumption again. He could be out for anyone who is in his way, and she could be putting herself in his way on purpose. That's my assumption. But neither of us knows yet. Anyway, looking forward to the trailer at the very least. |

I'm keeping my expectations low for this one. As excited as I am for this movie, I agree with you there. I could see Laurie being tramatized over what happened that night, but why would she train for 40 years with the thought that he may one day escape from prison and selectively target her? I think it makes much more sense for Myers to escape, Laurie see that it happened and thinks "he returned home then, maybe he returns home again." Laurie then goes into Loomis mode trying to warn the cops and then people start getting killed. |

What up Simest, nice to see ya again. Michael's face was seen at the beginning after he killed Judith and then again when he 13 years old in Smithgrove (if you want to count the extended TV cut) and at the end as an adult before Loomis shot him and he was still scary. Anyway, I doubt his face will be seen again in the new movie. There's minor similarities but in H20 Laurie was mostly consumed with fear and frightened mostly through out the movie with over drinking and pills. She was a hot mess. it wasn't until the last 15 minutes of H20 that her character changes and started going after Michael. …….. In this movie, JLC looks like Laurie with the long hair, acts like Laurie singing that song to herself like that scene in the original after she dropped off the keys to Myers house and she doesn't seem consumed by fear. Also, although I liked H20, there's no denying that it was Scream 1.5 meets Dawson's Creek it felt too mainstream. The actor for Myers wasn't that good and the mask was horrible. The music was off and although Steve Minor did a good job directing Friday the 13 2 and 3, he seemed to have lost his touch directing horror for H20..... This new movie looks dark and gritty and the actors for Michael is spot on along with the mask. He looks like the shape again and we have John Carpenter back producing and putting his input to the story and scoring the movie. I highly doubt that this movie will be anything like H20. I agree with you about rather having Myers appearing out of nowhere after 40 years rather than being captured and put in jail and escape again. However, it looks to me that Myers randomly stalked Laurie's granddaughter and her friends without knowing that she's related to Laurie. Perhaps it's just that Laurie has got it in her head that Michael is coming specifically for her. I'm keeping my expectations low for this one. Not me. This movie is the first sequel that I most excited for since H2. |

As I replied to simest post, for all we know, Michael could have randomly stalked Laurie's grand daughter not knowing that she's related to Laurie. |

I thought it looked really good. Myers looks scary and I love the Sarah Connor vibe Laurie has going on. Also love all the references to the original film and how he isn't her brother this time around (something about the character I never did care for). I was worried that it might be too much like H20 (H40 this time) but that doesn't seem to be the case. So glad about the involvement of Carpenter, Curtis, and Castle, they're all making a comeback. I just wish they would come up with a proper title instead of just calling it Halloween, which is stupid.
