Rob Zombie's follow-up to his 2007 reboot of the Halloween series is due out in theaters next month on August 28th. The studio has released the first full length movie trailer for Halloween II and it actually looks pretty solid!
The movie will follow Laurie Strode as she deals with her brother Michael's return. Watch the trailer and tell me you're not ready to scream just a little again.
Danielle Harris Dishes on H2
In the upcoming Halloween sequel, Danielle Harris plays Annie Brackett.
She spoke to IGN this week about the story of H2. Where does it pick up from? According to the actress:
The opening actually picks up probably about two hours after [Laurie] shoots him, from the last movie. There's a bunch of stuff in the hospital as well. And then it will smash cut to two years later. Laurie now lives with Annie and Sheriff Brackett, because her parents are gone. We have a very interesting relationship two years after. [Fear Clinic's] Susan and Annie are kind of similar.
Both characters have sort of evolved into [being], like, odd, self-righteous, sensitive but never knowing it, because they've been through such traumatic things in their lives.
On H2, this terrible, horrible thing that happened two years ago – cut to how it affects you. Maybe that you're not wanting to come out of your house. Maybe never getting out of a bathrobe. Not wanting to be that feisty, sassy, spunky I'm going to date guys [girl]… After you're attacked by somebody, that kind of goes out the window.
H2 Scoop: A Maskless Michael Myers
Wayne Toth, the special effects guru behind H2, spoke to Shock Til You Drop this week, and revealed a lot about the upcoming Halloween follow-up.
Toth said Michael Myers will spend at least 70% of the sequel without his icnonic mask.
As portrayed by Tyler Mane, the villain will appear as a disheveled, bearded hulk.
"That's Michael's new look for a lot of the film," Toth said. "Fans will be shocked. They seem pretty responsive to it. But it's like anything else, as long as you're doing something cool, people get it."
