"HALLOWEEN 2" - Rob Zombie Confirmed & first poster !
Dimension Films has announced that the company will make "H2", the sequel to Rob Zombie's 2007 reinvention of the horror classic Halloween. Once again, Rob Zombie has been tapped to write and direct. Malek Akkad of Trancas International Films, who also produced 2007's "HALLOWEEN" with Dimension, will produce the sequel, along with Andy Gould of Spectacle Entertainment Group, Zombie's long time manager and producing partner. The announcement was made today by Bob Weinstein, Co-Chairman of The Weinstein Company.Dimension's Halloween scored the highest Labor Day weekend opening ever with a record-breaking $30.6 million in its first four days of release and went on to gross nearly $60 million at the domestic box office in 2007.
Zombie's "H2" will pick up at the exact moment the first movie stopped and follow the aftermath of Michael Myers murderous rampage through the eyes of heroine Laurie Strode.
Bob Weinstein stated: "Following the success of 2007's "HALLOWEEN", we are thrilled to be back in business with Rob Zombie, bringing a sequel to theaters. The fans have made it clear – and we agree - that they feel the franchise is in great hands with Rob Zombie."
Rob Zombie said, "I am very excited to be working with Bob Weinstein again and returning to the world of 'Halloween.' The remake laid the groundwork, now it's time to really take Michael Myers to the next level. I believe we've just barely scratched the surface of where we can take this series."
"I am thrilled to be making 'H2' at Dimension, the home of the 'Halloween' franchise for the last 15 years," commented Malek Akkad. "I look forward to working again with Bob Weinstein, as well as a filmmaker of Rob Zombie's talent and stature."

I think that the sequel to rob zombie's halloween will definately kick ass at the box office because the remake was so good and way better than the original. The thing that excites me about the sequel is that it starts right from where the first one left off which was my favorite part of the movie because Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor Compton) was screaming histerically whille she has just shot her own brother, very cool. And the poster looks very scary. Can't wait for this sequel.
