‘Halloween’ Sequel Gains Two Directors?

It was no surprise that Dimension Films has decided to do a sequel to Rob Zombie’s remake of ‘Halloween’.   The big question was, “Who will put it together?”   Well, we may have our answer.

It was rumored a few months back that the directing duo who made the French, horror film, ‘Inside’, were attached to direct.   Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury were set to write and direct Dimension’s remake of ‘Hellraiser’, but the studio pulled them, opting to go in a different direction.   Apparently what Bustillo and Maury presented to Dimension was too shocking.   Too shocking for ‘Hellraiser’.   You heard that right.

Now, in an interview that will be in the September issue of Rue Morgue Magazine, Maury pretty much confirms the rumors.

“It’s a proposition we couldn’t refuse,” says Maury about working on a sequel to Zombie’s film.   “Our vision will be done with utmost respect, with a continuity of Zombie’s work but also a real evolution of the world he set in place.”

It will be interesting to see what Muary and Bustillo have in store for the ‘Halloween’ franchise.   Anyone who saw ‘Inside’ will know that these two could theoretically create a film even more gritty and graphic than Zombie’s film but with a lot more style.
