New "Halloween" Film

Dimension Films has announced they will make a new "Halloween" movie with Rob Zombie writing, directing & serving as a producer. Malek Akkad of Trancas International Films will produce the feature along with Andy Gould of Vision Entertainment Group. Zombie will also serve as music supervisor on the film. Miramax Films will co-finance the development with Dimension Films. The announcement was made by The Weinstein Company co-chairman, Bob Weinstein. Zombie's vision of this film is an entirely new take on the legend & will satisfy fans of the classic "Halloween" legacy while beginning a new chapter in the Michael Myers saga. This new movie will not only appeal to horror fans, but to a wider movie-going audience as well. It will not be a copycat of any prior films in the "Halloween" franchise. The film is set for an October 2007 theatrical release.
