Halloween 3D Pre-Production Shuts Down

Deadline Hollywood has reported that pre-production on Halloween 3D, which was to start shooting in November, has slowed down and is now set for an October 2010 release.

Todd Farmer's script was turned in on Friday, however, Bob Weinstein of Dimension Films decided the project is being unnecessarily rushed in an effort to work around director Patrick Lussier's schedule. Lussier is set to start Drive Angry, starring Nicolas Cage, in January.

Now Dimension Films is going to wait until Lussier is free so they can take their time with the project. The October release can't hurt either.

Halloween 3D comes to theaters October 26th, 2012 and stars Brad Dourif. The film is directed by Patrick Lussier.

    And something i noticed about halloween 3 is that it has days at the bottom of the screen. where as it will say something like "saturday the 30th" it does this like 3 or 4 times i think. anyways the intresting part was that, the days in this movie are the same days next year. Next year's halloween falls on sunday, same as in the movie. so i think that was intresting. Maybe thats why they wanna hurry and put it out next year. so that it fits with "our" halloween day"

    In halloween 3, micheal myers is not real. or atleast i dont think so. cause theres a part where the lil kids are watching tv waiting for the halloween Commercial to come on. then they showed a preview of "halloween coming to theaters" I really dunno why this was even called halloween 3. is has nothing to do with micheal. it should of been called trick r treat.. or sumthing, lol

    For those who posted the title wrong, it's "Season of the Witch", singular. Not "witches", plural.

    And it was a stupid movie. It didn't know where it was going. Was it a movie about a warlock, conspiracy to kill all of our children, androids/machine take over? I mean it was all over the board. If this was going to be a remake of Season of the Witch, I'd like to see all that weirdness explained.

    I guess what really bothered me about that movie, is that I just hated that the cute hot girl in the original got turned into an android. That freakin' sucked!

    haha, yea season of the witches was a classic like night of the creeps. these movies r offen better than movies like friday the 13th, halloween, or nightmare on elm street. saw ..(well sumtimes) you dont see texas chainsaw making more parts, 2 was good enough. i think movies should end on part5. i cant imagin transformers 8th, LOLZ This halloween 2, seemed like it was done over a weekend. im suprised it didnt go str8 to dvd.

    I didn't like zob's halloween 2, either. Maybe when it hits dvd or blu-ray, it might have 2 or 3 diff endings? because serioually micheal was killed in this1. Hes not a dead man hes not a zombie, hes a human , theres no way he can come back to life. So this would come into play where micheal is in acoma for 10yrs or sumthing wakes up and gets away. then we have awhole new jamie Lloyd story as for Laurie Strode. WHO KNOWS!!!!

    First of all I think they're gonna ignore the remakes and the season of the witches movie this will be a remake of the return of michael myers most likely! The orginal is one of my favorites an is a classic! I think it's great that there finally giving it an October release date it should help at the box office! Now the whole 3D thing it can be done as long as they don't over do it. Hopefully Halloween will overcome it recent downfall...

    they aren't going to go back to the season of the witch bullsh*t, it was an epic fail the first time around, and its about time they release a halloween movie around HALLOWEEN time.

    For those of you who remeber what part3 was about?.. Halloween 3 isn't gonna be about micheal. thats why rob wants nothing to do with this1. its Halloween: "season of the witches". Its being made in 3-D.. if you remeber what the movie was about, you would understand. and makes it kinda fun. On the other hand Myers movie would hit around 2012 or 2013 that;s if we don't die, lolz and that'll be called "The Return of...YOU GUESSED IT.. Micheal.
