Michael Myers’ knife is going back to the Steel and Stone for sharpening.
The Weinstein Company’s “Halloween 3-D”, originally set to shoot in November, has been postponed. The pic, written by Todd Farmer and set to be directed by Patrick Lussier, apparently just needs to simmer a little longer. At this stage, it’s still a bit pink inside.
Nikki Fenke reports, “So here's what happened: 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 because it has to be done by January when director Patrick Lussier starts a film for Avi Lerner. A release for Summer 2010 was planned. Sure, the rumor mill claims TWC is out of money amid all those layoffs, and TWC couldn't agree on a $2.5M budget battle with Lussier, and TWC had key crew ready to fly to Shreveport. But I understand that Bob Weinstein shut down H3D pre-production "because Bob just felt it was rushing too fast." Now Dimension plans to start the film after My Bloody Valentine 3D helmer Lussier is free’’.
