A Different Halloween 3D Director Announced
10 September 2009 3:10 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Last week it was rumored that director Steve Miner (Halloween H20, Friday the 13th Part 3) was returning to the rebooted franchise that Rob Zombie was vacating, but it looks like The Weinstein Co.would rather hire a director who has worked with 3-D technology more recently than 1982. Variety reports that Patrick Lussier (My Bloody Valentine 3-D) is negotiating with the Weinsteins' horror studio, Dimension Films, to take Halloween's psychotic killer Michael Myers into the third dimension.
The Weinsteins and Dimension have been experiencing some turbulent financial times. After Halloween II lost its opening weekend to The Final Destination, the Weinsteins clearly wanted a sure bet for Halloween 3-D. Lussier's Valentine grossed $51 million at the box office, about three times its budget, which is a good sign for a company that's trying to stay alive financially alongside horror movies like the upcoming Piranha 3-D and Scream 4.

Patrick Lussier Directing Halloween 3D
8 September 2009 8:00 PM, PDT | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
Earlier in the week rumor hit the web that Steve Miner would direct the upcoming Halloween 3D and horror fans groaned. Although hard to say if the groan was more for the Halloween 3D or the director choice. Now comes confirmation that actually Scream director Patrick Lussier who also directed My Bloody Valentine 3D will helm the project.
Halloween 2 has had less then impressive numbers in the box office so it seems Twc has decided to jump on the 3D band wagon to get new life in to the Halloween franchise.

Halloween 3D Has A Director
8 September 2009 12:27 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Dimension Films' massively inevitable Halloween 3D now has a writer and director, in the form of Patrick Lussier. Rob Zombie is making The Blob next, and probably wasn't interested anyway.Halloween 2, which still doesn't have a UK release date, was roundly trounced by The Final Destination at the box office, but that hasn't stopped the Weinsteins putting the next instalment on a fast track for a 2010 release. Some reports last week put Steve Miner (Friday the 13th parts 2 and 3, Halloween H20) behind the camera, but that always seemed spurious. Lussier makes more sense, having been working with Dimension in one capacity or another forever, editing the Scream series and directing the Dtv Dracula films. Most recently he was behind My Bloody Valentine, so he has the 3D skills to pay the bills.And in other Weinstein horror news comes the revelation that we can expect more Children of the Corn, »

Next 'Halloween' Has its Writer/Director
7 September 2009 9:15 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Horror flick editor Patrick Lussier will be the next Halloween director, taking the reins of the franchise from Rob Zombie, whose Halloween II underperformed at the box office.
Dimension Films’ Bob Weinstein had been negotiating with Lussier to write and direct. Now Fangoria is reporting that the former Scream editor, who was also responsible for the Dracula 2000 series of movies and this year’s My Bloody Valentine, will be delivering Michael Myers’ next set of exploits for a summer 2010 release.
Lussier also served as visual consultant on The Eye remake starring Jessica Alba and Darkness Falls.
Slasher movie veteran Steve Miner had been rumored as in the running for the 2010 Halloween sequel, to be titled Halloween 3-D. But the hiring of Lussier makes sense, given that My Bloody Valentine, which performed solidly at the box office, was also released in 3-D.
Halloween II lost out on horror movie audiences to Final Destination, »
Patrick Lussier to Continue the Horror in Halloween 3-D
7 September 2009 9:10 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Just last week we threw a rumor your way stating that Halloween franchise veteran director Steve Miner might be returning to the director's chair for a continuation of the series reboot started by Rob Zombie. All the more interesting was the mention that the third installment would bring Michael Myers back to the cinema in glorious 3-D this time. Well it turns out we were half right. Halloween 3-D will indeed be hitting theaters next year, but Variety reports it will be My Bloody Valentine 3-D director Patrick Lussier writing and directing another night of fright with Michael Myers instead of Rob Zombie or Steve Miner. While, personally, I think that Steve Miner could've potentially brought the real Michael Myers back from the trainwreck that Rob Zombie steered him into with Halloween II, Lussier probably isn't a terrible choice either. Almost all of his experience (both as a director and »

Lussier on H3D?
7 September 2009 8:04 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Guess that Steve Miner rumor won't be rolling around much longer, and I say that's a damn shame - Miner would've had a chance to get back in the game with it, a chance I strongly feel he deserves. Variety reported this weekend on the upcoming slate for the Weinstein brothers and how they're trying to diversify the genres they're exploiting, even though horror will be a safeguard still. Inside the piece is buried a quick mention that the brothers are in active negotiations with My Bloody... »

My Bloody Valentine Director to Helm Halloween 3
7 September 2009 4:30 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Bob Weinstein from The Weinstein Company recently announced that Rob Zombie will not be returning for a third "Halloween" film. To push forward with the franchise, the studio has been in negotiations with a new director. It was widely believed that Steve Miner (Halloween H20) director was going to take over, but Weinstein has just revealed that it will actually be Patrick Lussier, who last direct the "My Bloody Valentine" reboot. Weinstein added that the new movie will be called "Halloween 3D" and will have a "different take" on the franchise. He is hoping to have it in theaters by next summer. »
Patrick Lussier in Talks for Halloween 3D?
7 September 2009 12:59 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Lots of names have been floating around about who will helm Halloween 3D for the Weinsteins (providing they work out their troubles by next summer). From Steve Miner to Alex Aja to My Bloody Valentine helmer Patrick Lussier. While all of these makes sense, it seems that Lussier's name is packing the heaviest punch.
Variety reports today that the director with whom the ailing company has been in talks to clean up the mess left behind by Rob Zombie is indeed Patrick Lussier. Yet, here's the rub -- the guy is super busy with Drive Angry now taking the first priority slot on his directorial slate. Could that change? Never say never.
We spoke with Patrick last week when the rumor came across our desks, but even he took an "ask me again a little later" type approach.
We'll keep monitoring things for you in the hope that this happens. »

From My Bloody Valentine 3D To Halloween 3D! Patrick Lussier To Write & Direct!
7 September 2009 12:42 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
The day after Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 opened, the Weinstein Company already announced it's intention to release Halloween 3D by next summer, no doubt to follow hot on the heels of last weekend (and this weekend's) number one movie The Final Destination. Not only that, but with the recently announced remake of The Blob, this Halloween would have to go on without Zombie. Last week's rumor was that Halloween: H20 director Steve Miner was circling the project. Seems now we have a different name.
In a recent Variety post, Patrick Lussier the director of My Bloody Valentine 3D is in negotiations to write and direct the next Halloween movie, Halloween 3D. Considering his long standing history with Dimension having edited for Wes Craven on the Scream movies, Red Eye and even Miner's H20, paired with the successful box office of his My Bloody Valentine remake, it comes as no surprise. »
Halloween H20 Director to Return For Halloween 3D?
2 September 2009 7:27 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
A former well known man within the Halloween franchise, Steve Miner, may return to direct Halloween 3D - or so the first rumor about the third installment in the freshly rebooted horror series says. Apparently Bloody Disgusting [1] received an e-mail from an actor claiming this, which is pretty much all there is to say about it. For now I'd categorize it as a pretty vague rumor. However, it is an interesting rumor, which wouldn't be too shabby if it was actually true. Miner has an okay track record having previously directed the somewhat decent Halloween H20 back in 1998. But H20 aside, he has also previously directed both Friday the 13th Part 2 and Part III. So even though he has gone downhill since then, he is still the man who made the movies that both created the Jason we know and love, and also gave him his classic hockey mask, »

Rmr: Tarantino Reviews Movies, 'Iron Man 2' in 3D, Un-Wired 'Oz' and More

If you weren't a fan of the Bens on "At the Movies" get ready for a 180 as the new team made up of Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips and the New York Times' A.O. Scott as the video to the right gives you your first look at the new movie reviewing duo. The video blatantly says to me, "Sorry about the joke we played on you with Lyons and Mankiewicz, here are two guys who know what they're talking about." Lionsgate let everyone know via Twitter that Kick-Ass will arrive on April 16, 2010 and Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables will hit theaters on August 20, 2010. Then we learn Star Trek will be heading back to IMAX this Friday for a two week run. And we also learn Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Micmacs a tire-larigot has been picked up by Sony Pictures Classics. Just like Avatar, tickets for The Twilight Saga: New Moon are now »

Rumor: Director Found For Halloween 3D?!
2 September 2009 12:54 AM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Late in the weekend, The Weinstein Company announced it's intentions to continue the Halloween franchise with Halloween 3D. And not only would they be aiming to get a 3D Michael Myers movie in theaters by next summer, but it'll be a different take from what Rob Zombie had established with his 2 Halloween flicks. In that last post, it was hinted that "the studio was in negotiations with a new director, who has experience in horror." Rumor going round through all the other horror outlets is that it may be Steve Miner.
Steve Miner is no stranger to the genre, nor to Michael Myers. He directed Halloween: 20 Years Later aka H20 starring Jamie Lee Curtis. His other genre credits include the recent Day Of The Dead remake, Friday The 13th Part 2 and Lake Placid. Hell, he's got 3D experience having also directed Friday The 13th Part 3.

Rumor: Steve Miner Returning to Direct Halloween 3D in 2010?
1 September 2009 1:56 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
So here's the deal. Over the weekend, the La Times reported that The Weinstein Company was already starting development on another sequel to the Halloween series for the summer of 2010 that would be titled Halloween 3D. Even though the most recent Halloween 2 made $16 million over the weekend, apparently everyone hated it, mainly because Rob Zombie did some ridiculous things with it (here's a good 2/10 review). Now Bloody-Disgusting adds another detail into the mix - they got an email this morning claiming that Steve Miner would be returning for the sequel instead of Rob Zombie - which is actually great news. Miner is an "old school" horror director responsible for Friday the 13th Part 2 and Part 3, Halloween H20, and Lake Placid back in 1999, but has most recently been directing TV shows and straight-to-dvd crap like Jessica Simpson's Major Movie Star. From what I hear, though, ... »

Weinsteins Going Back To Former Halloween Director For Halloween 3D?
1 September 2009 12:48 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Yesterday a tipster started letterbombing the inboxes of horror editors with an unconfirmed bit of news about a director for Halloween 3D, essentially replacing Rob Zombie, who'll be moving on to The Blob and hopefully Tyrannosaurus Rex. The news isn't even 'news' yet, as it remains speculative. But it's an interesting idea, as the director is someone who has experience with the Halloween fanchise already, and has also had a hand in both 3D and another long-running horror series. The name, after the break... The first time Dimension revived the Halloween franchise, with Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (meant to be a sequel to the original Halloween II, ignoring the films that came after), the company turned to Steve Miner. He'd previously been allied with a rival franchise, directing Friday the 13th Part II and Friday the 13th Part III, the latter in 3D That being the case, he's more »

Who Will Direct Halloween 3D?
1 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
As soon as Rob Zombie's "Halloween" hit theaters, the Weinstein Company has announced that it is moving forward with the third installment, which will in 3-D and is appropriately titled "Halloween 3D." The studio's co-Chairman Bob Weinstein stated that Zombie will not return to direct, but negotiations are currently going on with a new helmer, whom he declined to name. So who is this new helmer? A rumor is currently going around that the man brought on for "Halloween 3D" is Steve Miner, who is very familiar with Michael Myers, having previously directed "Halloween H20" back in 1998. He also directed the second and third "Friday the 13th" films in the early 80s. At this point this is just a rumor, but several emails have gone out to both Miner's people and to the Weinstein Company for verification. Stay tuned. »
Halloween 3-D May Have a Director
1 September 2009 9:25 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
When the Weinstein Co. announced Halloween 3-D, they said they were negotiating with an experienced horror director, but didn't reference the director by name. According to Bloody-Disgusting, that unnamed director could likely be Steve Miner, the director of Halloween: H2O and Friday the 13th Part 2 and 3.
The Weinstein Co. promised a director for Halloween 3-D that would provide a "different take" on the series, which is not what Miner is famous for, but The Weinstein Co.'s "different take" could just mean "something other than what Rob Zombie did in Halloween II."
Until the Weinstein Co. or Dimension Films confirms the hiring, Miner is merely a rumor, but considering Miner's experience with slasher movies, including making them in 3-D, as he did with Friday the 13th Part 3, Miner certainly seems like a solid choice who could bring some stability to a growing, rebooted horror franchise.

Halloween 3D Updates
1 September 2009 8:15 AM, PDT | HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news »
While I was busy drafting my Fantasy Football team and attending the Britney Spears concert in Philadelphia this weekend, it was announced that the Weinstein Company plans to release Halloween 3D in 2010. Halloween 2 was recently beaten by Inglourious Basterds and The Final Destination at the box, only earning an estimated $16.3 million. A big drop from Zombie's first Halloween, which earned $26.4 million during its opening weekend in 2007. 3D horror movies have performed well in 2009 and the Weinstein Co. plans to cash in on the trend... even without Rob Zombie who will not be returning to direct. Although there has been no official director announced, the rumor mill has already suggested that Halloween H20 director, Steve Miner, may land the job. We will keep you updated. »

Miner Circling Halloween 3D ?
1 September 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
A tipster calling himself "The Egg Man" is making the rounds on the genre news circuit alerting all editors of a potential director for Halloween 3D . Over the weekend, Bob Weinstein of Dimension Films revealed to the L.A. Times that they'll be moving forward on a third 3-D chapter for the summer of 2010 with a new director attached. According to "The Egg Man," that director is Steve Miner, who also helmed Halloween: H20 . Miner's credits also include Friday the 13th: Part 2 , Friday the 13th: Part 3 , which was released in 3-D, House , and Lake Placid . Since then he's been doing a lot of television work. Recently, he helmed the Day of the Dead remake. No doubt he's a seasoned genre vet and has had experience with Myers, but is the right man to... »
Steve Miner for Halloween 3D?
31 August 2009 10:50 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
We usually don't report on rumors because they often have a nasty habit of ending up being debunked, but it's hard not to see the logic in this tasty tidbit that has come across our desks.
A tipster, who wants to be identified only as The Egg Man, wrote in to us tonight with what could very well be an interesting development on the Halloween 3D front.
It would seem that Dimension is in negotiations with none other than Steve Miner to helm the next Halloween film. Why him? You may remember that Miner directed Halloween: H20 and Friday the 13th Parts II and III.
Being that Miner has successfully brought Myers to life once already after a miserable bout of sequels and has experience working in 3D, he truly seems like a logical candidate to be up for the job. Hence our reporting on this possibility. Lord knows, a »
