| Calling All Maniacs
I see where both of you are coming from: I would far rather see Zombie bone up his original screenwriting and directing abilities. He has some great promise in this genre, a genre he clearly adores, and I have to support that.
It is a bit ironic that Zombie has taken the captain's seat in an unneeded horror remake, since it was not all that long ago that he publicly smirked at Hollywood for attempting to cash in on the Dawn of the Dead revamp. Perhaps Zombie is under the belief that Hollywood is going to make a Halloween retelling regardless, and he might as well be involved in hopes that something can be salvaged from the wreck. Maybe not. But that is why, if a remake should be made, I look forward to Zombie being heavily involved. |
