There are some unconfirmed reports emerging that Halloween 3D may be
getting pushed back from its October 26th release date. As of right now,
STYD is reporting that the film has been moved to next year. Right now
their story is unconfirmed, but the film hasn't started shooting - or
even firm casting yet. So I wouldn't necessarily expect it this year.
When
BD's Brian Collins sat down for a chat with Todd Farmer about the
status of that project back in September, the date still looked to be
October of this year, if not sooner. "Absolutely. The date has been set.
October of 2012. And even that can be pushed forward if the movie’s
ready, like the last couple." We'll see what comes of it in the next few
days. But in this town, it's usually later rather than sooner. And the
lack of momentum thus far does indicate that it might be pushed.
In
other, better, Halloween news, if you liked "Crystal Lake Memories"
then the writers of "Halloween: The Complete Authorized History" are
looking to tickle your fancy as well.
Hit the jump for the press release on the new compendium.
