  • Rob Zombie And Mr. Beaks Talk HALLOWEEN II!

    08/13/09 With the HALLOWEEN II junket just around the corner (and the film due out on August 28th), I figured now would be an opportune time to hit you with this interview I conducted with writer-director Rob Zombie at Comic Con. I still hadn't seen the film when I chatted with Zombie, so most of these questions are directed at figuring out the tone of Zombie's sequel to his love-it-or-loathe-it 2007 remake.  |  Ain't It Cool News

    01/21/09 Moviefone I'd heard a few unpleasant rumblings regarding the Sundance title Brief Interviews with Hideous Men , in addition to numerous opinions on how the source material (a collection of stories by the late David Foster Wallace) had been labeled more or less "unfilmable."  |  Cinematical.com
