Will the new film be a sequel to Zombies Halloween? "I can’t talk about it too much right now, but it will definitely keep elements and bring in new elements. But I really want to bring it back to kind of like, the classic – because the last one got a little dark – I want to bring it back to the classic Friday night horror film that people will really like."
What happen to Lussier's film: "Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier did a script. The next day after the last one came out, we were back in production for Halloween 3D. We were about two weeks from going down to Louisiana to shoot it and for whatever reason, the studio thought we were maybe moving a little bit too quickly. I disagree. I think we had a great script and a great team and it would have been a massive hit. But right now we’re currently working on a new script for Halloween 3, so it’s all in the works right now..."
So it appears Akkad wants to bring the next film back to it's roots... It's still unclear if Scout Taylor-Compton will reprise her role as Laurie Strode, but now that Malek Akkad has confirmed that the new film will at least keep some elements of Rob Zombies flicks.. I think it's a pretty good chance that she will be cast as Laurie Strode once again..
