Yes, Rob Zombie has inked a deal with Dimension films that he is returning to direct the “Halloween” sequel. The next “Halloween” film will simply be titled “H2”, yes that’s it. With the letter “H” and “2” both together, making it “H2”, the next movie title. Rob Zombie will write and direct, “H2” ,just like he did with the first movie. Filming will begin in March and they hope to get an October release date of 2009.
The new film will leave off right where the first movie ended except the sequel “H2” will NOT be a remake of 1981’s “Halloween 2” which also starred Jamie Lee Curtis. In “Halloween 2” it was mostly taken place in a hospital, Rob Zombie’s version of the sequel will be a totally different story. This article doesn’t give anymore details on the plot though.
No word if Tyler Mane will return as the fictional serial killer, Michael Myers, he probably will.
You can also see a teaser poster that Dimension already made for the film here at Variety:

This is fantastic news!!! I’m so happy that Rob Zombie is on board for the sequel!!! YES!!!
Congrats to Rob. He had quite a career ride in the film business. He worked very hard to get into the movie business and now he is a big name film director thanks to “Halloween”.
Remember, Rob Zombie fought hard to get “House of 1,000 Corpses” a big screen release but no studio wanted to buy it off him because of it’s graphic content, but Lionsgate finally bought the movie off Rob and released it nationwide, the film became a hit. Then he released “The Devils Rejects” which also became a hit.
I’m looking forward to the sequel. I also hope Malcolm Macdowell will return as Dr. Loomis and I’m sure he will.

for Zombie’s sake, I hope it does as well as the first one did… It’s hard to say, though. People either love his work or they hate it:http://www.everyhype.com/?utm_source=bc)

Congrats to Zombie, and condolences to the movie goers. I hope everyone learned from his “reimagining” of Halloween and doesn’t go to this one. While the idea of looking at the Halloween mythology from Michael’s point of view SOUNDED interesting, the execution wasn’t. Maybe someday on my myspace blog, I will write a review of what was so wrong with that movie so I can explain myself. Don’t really feel like leaving a long-winded comment about it here.
