According to Deadline Hollywood's Nikki Finke: "The script only came in Friday, and it was the first draft that Dimension Films had seen. And The Weinstein Co. was rushing to get the film into production for a November start date… But I understand that Bob Weinstein shut down H3D pre-production 'because Bob just felt it was rushing too fast.'"

Difficult to say what the real motivations might have been, but it looks fairly confirmed that we won't be seeing another Halloween film in the very near future.

It's possible that with another director, or some miracle back-to-back scheduling, that it might drop in time for an October 2010, but that's only pure speculation for now.

I think they should push it straight down the drain before it's too late.
