Laurie Strode cast in Halloween remake!

laurie012707.jpgOne thing you should have probably guessed by the title is that the actress chosen isn't very well known. Otherwise it would have been "Her Name" cast in Halloween remake! I can tell you the new Laurie Strode is....... Scout Taylor Compton. Yeah I have no idea who she is either. After a brief IMDB lookup, it seems she was in 7 episodes of Charmed and starred in the horror movie Wicked Little Things but needless to say, this is the biggest role of her career so far. Casting an unknown is fine by me and in truth I think it's the best way to go. Jamie Lee Curtis herself was an unknown actress way back in 1978 and the audience don't need the baggage of past roles when trying to follow a character that we are so use to seeing another actress fill. So I guess that's it then. All major roles cast. I've said before but casting wise I think Rob Zombie has done a top notch job but with all the problems he has had with the public over this remake and the fact that protestors are on the set of filming.... I could see Zombie doing something with his film that goes in COMPLETELY the wrong direction just to piss all the haters off. Filming is already underway but I hear that Tyler Mane (Michael Myers) won't start shooting for a couple of weeks or so but once photo's get leaked from the set, we should start getting a better grasp of how this is going to turn out. source - bloody disgusting
