Todd Farmer has apparently been fired from the project because he wouldn't work with a PG-13 rating or found footage concept. Yes, they want to lower the rating and copy Paranormal Activity.
He said this on Twitter:

That's kind of hilarious. I don't mind the working with a PG-13 rating to be honest. More effort might be put into mood and suspense if they work with that rating. But the found footage concept...really? I thought audiences were getting fatigued with that.

If that's what they are going for with this next one, then I really hope it doesn't get made. I mean the found footage angle works for documentary style horror and that is not what Halloween and Michael Myers movies are.

They have clearly been influenced by Insidious, which had a really low budget and was rated PG-13. It went on to be one of the most profitable films of the year. That movie also had the PA people behind it.
I support the idea of lowering the budget, as that makes for more profit.

So Farmer is apparently still on board, but they are likely still looking into the found footage concept.
EDIT:
Farmer was fired a month ago.

Todd Says this was the original script he wrote.BD: Give us a tease, what was your original 'Halloween 3D' story?
TF: Basically we opened at the end of Rob’s movie; the whole first act is the end of Rob’s movie, at the end of which Michael is killed. But instead of Scout stabbing Michael... Rob had these visions and things, so we had it so that she thinks she’s killing Michael, but it’s a vision and she’s actually been stabbing Loomis. And then Michael puts the mask on her and she stumbles outside (as we see in the theatrical version of 'Halloween II'), and then when she takes the mask off that’s when we’d switch to 3D. It would be flat until then. Anyway, Laurie survives and is taken to a mental institution, and then Michael returns, but it’s not Rob’s Michael that returns, it’s the Shape – he stalks, he gets the original white mask back, and the coveralls. So it’s still in Rob’s world, but with the Carpenter version of Michael. And of course we had a great role for Tom Atkins; he’d be playing the doctor of the hospital. And the whole time the TV in the rec room would be playing the Silver Shamrock theme, and at one point Atkins would walk by and yell (Farmer switches to a damn good Atkins impression) “Turn that shit off!” And I’d keep my pants on this time. Also, there was never anyone cast. Our intention was to bring his cast back, but it never got that far. Scout may have seen an outline, but no one was ever in negotiations, I’m certain no one was officially attached.LINK to whole interview

Rabbit In Red interviewed Malek Akkad and he confirmed Halloween 3 will NOT be a found footage film. He also gave his reaction to Universal taking Moustapha name of Halloween 2 BluRaywww.megaupload.com/?d=BC4X37R2

Hey I kinda like the PG-13 rating because think about it the original Halloween hardly if not had any blood in it and if I recall there was only one nudity sence which was just a quick tit flash so really the way i see it,it was not really a rated R movie and I think that this would be great if horror movies didnt have so much blood and gore if Halloween 3D sticks to hardly having any of this and being a bit low budget I think it would turn out to be a great movie....

PG-13 movies are churned out only for profit. Horror films taht display actual violence ( physical) and deaths should be R due to taht, hence why TCM and Halloween were R.

People need to keep in mind that a six year old boy kills his sister, something that the MPAA would look closely at. There is also the issue of the amount of terror being too intense for a PG-13 rating. The upcoming movie Dream House was shot with the intention of getting the rating, but the MPAA thought that it was simply too scary and gave it an R-rating instead. Tone can contribute to a rating just as much as the content. |
