did they show too much?
What do you think? I think it did especially for a first trailer months before it comes out, they're only gonna show more as time goes on I feel like :/
shareThe plot is so lame it doesn't really matter
shareWhy because it doesn't take into account the other remakes?
shareNo, I like that aspect. I don't like the idea that she would be living in such paranoia - knowing that he is locked away in a high security prison - makes no sense. And if she's that freaked out about him escaping and coming after her again, why would she stay in the only place he knows where to look for her? Sorry but this idea simply defies logic. It would've been more believable had Michael disappeared after the events of the first film and no one knew of his whereabouts. Not knowing where, when, or if he might reappear would be scary stuff and easily justify her need to be prepared.
shareRight but did you catch where she said shes been praying this whole time that he'd escape so she could kill him, negates the fact that you're saying she's living in paranoia and is freaked out about him escaping.?
shareThat is even lamer. If we are going to ignore all the films since the original, then the events of the original were just a random act that occurred one Halloween night 40 years ago. With this now established, why would Laurie, 40 years later, still be obsessed with this one random man of which she has no other relationship with and never otherwise knew? Had the new film followed part 2 as originally stated, it would make sense that she would be wondering and waiting for her brother to break out. It'd explain why she would be unable to move on after 40 years as the blood ties and her own name would keep her tied to this man. In general it would just make a lot more sense.
Or it would've been more believable had Michael mysteriously disappeared after the events of the first film and no one knew of his whereabouts. Not knowing where, when, or if he might reappear would be scary stuff and easily justify her need to be prepared.
See the paranoia etc reminds me too much of what they already did in H20. In H20 they said they never found his body, but she did see him burn. It makes sense for her to be paranoid esp with her son being the same age as she was. She was crazy, paranoid, seeing Michael everywhere, suffocating her son.
Here 40 yrs later she really has no reason to think he is coming back. But I'll take it

Oh it is. I'm saying themes and tones, as they relate to laurie are the same as they were in that movie.
shareI'm open to all ideas at this point especially considering Kenny Powers is the one directing this lolz. All I know is could be epic but I'm not trying to see the first quarter of the movie as shown in the trailer plus many other later scenes I'm sure.
shareDanny McBride isn't directing it. He is one of the writers and producers. David Gordon Green is directing. And it's fine to be skeptical of McBride. But William Peter Blatty was a comedy writer before he wrote The Exorcist. So I'm inclined to give him a chance.
shareWell Kenny powers isn't writing no exorcist lol ok
shareI didn't say he was. I said I'd give him a chance.
shareI understand that, and I agree with you, I am walking into this movie open to anything. I just hope it lives up to it's hype. Sadly there are many films which show promise that end up being giant piles of doo doo.im sure you hold the same concern
shareI do. And the fact that its getting rave reviews both gives me hope and makes me VERY cautious about making assumptions about the quality of the film based on those reviews. I'm not convinced of anything yet aside from the fact that it looks like a gritty remake of H20
sharelaurie strode is michael meyers's sister
In this version she isn't. It ignores the events of Halloween 2.
sharei don't give a flying fudge what david gordon green has to say about laurie and michael's familial connection
It doesnt matter if its stated in Halloween 2. Firstly Halloween 2 was always part of Halloween 1. Thats what Carpenter stated in each and every interview. It was just torn apart cause of budget reason. So Laurie is Michaels sister! In any way and everywhere. Doesnt matter if tis told or not in the first half of Halloween 1/2. And it also makes the original movie worthless, cause why is Michael hunting especially her and killing anyone around her? Why this obsession with her? Cause she is his freaking sister! Otherwise the original movie is almost inexistent.
shareOh I agree, I'm just telling you what they did for this film :/
shareI was always sure that the sister thing only came about after the second film with the original being basically about someone killing without any seemingly reasons. A scene was added with myers carving sister in his cell for the TV version of Halloween during production of the sequel. This makes me think originally there was no connection
share100% correct. The TV version doesn't have deleted scenes added back. They were filmed during H2 and added back so that Halloween could fit the 2 hour tv time slot.
shareSee i do like the original because there's no reason for him trying to kill Laurie and that in turn makes it scarier.
Its the same reason I'm not a fan of the rob zombie remakes. They gave michael too.much back story and had him coming from a broken home. In the original from the little we see he appears to come from a normal family in what looks like a well of area and that works better. That someone from a normal upbringing with no issues could suddenly kill like that
