First off, I'd be surrpised if the script your friend in LA has is the shooting script of the film. Secondly, I don't see how Rob Zombie can be attacked for taking the project. What up and coming horror director wouldn't jump at the chance to remake Halloween if someone offered him the project? If I were Zombie, I'd be looking at it like this... It's going to get remade by someone anyways, it'll probably do well in theatres and advance my career, why WOULDN'T I take the project?
That being said, I am with the majority here that fears Zombie could replace the haunting atmosphere in the original with gallons of gore. The original Halloween is awesome because John Carpenter did so much on such a small budget. That's impossible to replicate with a big name director, a big studio backing it, and a big budget.
I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm undecided on Zombie as a director, but it could be worse... Uwe Boll could be at the helm and then we'd already KNOW for sure that the franchise is fucked.
