Halloween 9 and Halloween Remake Rumors

From The Move Hole:
"Halloween 9" has been on the cards for longer tme and several directors have had meetings about directing it (including John Carpenter).

While the Weinstein's HAVE decided to remake that first "Halloween" - yep, new Laurie Strode - there is still a rough plan to do one more in the current series too. I'm not sure whose script they'd be using for this one, one of the best horror filmmakers around at the moment has been in contact about directing it.

Dante Tomaselli, whose "Desecration" and "Horror", has been in contact with those-that-matter to see if he can't take the reigns on "Halloween 9", according to "JoBlo.com.

Speaking in the Guts and Glory forum, the new prince of gore says "I'd love to direct Halloween 9. I really would. Halloween is my all time favorite movie. I saw it on my birthday in 1979. I was 9".

Tomaselli told the film's producers that "I'd want to bring back the spirit of the original Halloween", apparently, and that includes using Jamie Lee Curtis just "one more time".

Should he get the gig, Tomaselli says he'd love to get some of the franchise's most famous on-camera and off-camera talents to do cameos - including director John Carpenter - and if possible, he'd love to entice actor Bill Paxton, of "Titanic" and "Aliens" fame, to play a role in the film.
