Halloween 3-D Put On Hold

I know some folks out are overjoyed by the prospects of seeing a hobo Michael Myers and his white-horse returning…in 3-D! But it appears all 15 of them are going to have to wait awhile.

Deadline Hollywood reports that the Weinstein Company has indefinitely stalled Halloween 3-D (still don’t know if it’s a sequel/continuation of Rob Zombie’s two films or yet another reboot). It was intended to begin production this November for a Summer 2010 release. That ain’t happening. The blame has been placed on the lack of time to pull it off as the reason. Would-be director Patrick Lussier is set to start up another film by January. And as you know, no company would ever churn out a film just to make a release-date regardless of its quality or lack thereof.

Of course, there have been those constant rumblings that TWC is strapped for cash after a long string of flops since its formation. This comes ironically enough as they experience the biggest hit for their company with Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds.

Will we get another Halloween film? Of course. Just as Finke’s source correctly states, “We make those pics for very little money and tight marketing dollars so anything north of $25M is a huge success for us." It’s merely a question of whether it’s made under the Weinsteins or another company.

But rest assured, Michael Myers will return…again…eventually.
