Rob Zombie talked in depth with MTV about his involvement in the Halloween remake and the horror genre. Here is an excerpt that updates fans on the status of the film, but there is so much more in the article.

"with a script and timetable in place, Zombie is now moving on to casting and location scouting. "We're right at the beginning of when this all begins," he said. Of course, "this" refers to much more than moviemaking. It also means scrutiny and debate from a legion of hard-core horror fans. It means the watchful eyes of a studio hoping that a blockbuster can be reborn. And for Zombie, it means satisfying both of those ends while also making sure not to suck. Or, as the man himself concluded, "You have to completely reinvent the wheel, but keep the people that love the original wheel thrilled. It's a tricky balancing act, but I think it's totally doable."

You can also watch the interview on MTV Overdrive.

I still haven't watched House of a Thousand Corpses or The Devil's Rejects. Why would I watch a remake of a classic which is already an annoying trend in Hollywood? Making remakes that is....
