Here's a look at Michael Myers in 'Halloween 2'

Rob Zombie just announced he wrapped principal photography for his upcoming horror sequel "H2: Halloween 2," which will hit theaters Aug. 28, 2009. He also posted a new picture of Michael Myers on his MySpace blog, and you can check it out after the jump. I admit he doesn't look that bad.

"H2" kicks off immediately where the last one ended, but that's pretty much all I know about the plot at this stage. I can't say I'm very excited about this sequel because I didn't enjoy Zombie's first film, but then again, you never know. Maybe this follow-up will be a little more intriguing after all.

'Halloween 2' gets release date

The folks over at ShockTillYouDrop can confirm that Rob Zombie's "H2: Halloween 2" will open nationwide Aug. 28, 2009.

Picking the end of August for a release already paid off for the first remake of "Halloween," which started Aug. 31, 2007 and ended up delivering a $30.5 million opening weekend.

STYD also received a sneak peek at the new Michael Myers mask, which you can check out in the pic to the left. Note that this is just an outline, and definitely not the final mask.

Other than that, all we know is that the second film kicks off immediately where the last one ended. Tyler Man will also return as Michael.

Let me wrap this up with some words Zombie posted on his blog: "If you thought Michael was fucked before, you ain't seen nothing yet! He is bigger, meaner and more psycho than Dr. Loomis ever thought possible."

Confirmed: Rob Zombie directs 'Halloween 2'

We've heard a lot of rumors surrounding the sequel to Rob Zombie's 2007 remake "Halloween" lately, and here's a quick update on what's happening with that film.

According to Variety, Rob Zombie has signed on to write and direct "H2," which is expected to launch into production early next year. Release date would be in October 2009.

The trade also says the second film kicks off immediately where its predecessor ended, "following the aftermath of Michael Myers' murderous rampage through the eyes of the sister he hunted."

Zombie, who was originally not compelled to return as director, said the sequel will not resemble the original follow-up too much.

Zombie's 2007 remake grossed almost $60 million domestically. I didn't really enjoy that flick that much, so I couldn't care less about a sequel. But how about you? Are you digging Zombie is back?

Ready for more ‘Halloween’ remaking?

Rob Zombie’s 2007 remake of “Halloween” wasn’t exactly a great flick, but it made enough money for the producers to develop a sequel ($58.2 million domestically, in fact).

According to Dread Central, producer Malek Akkad announced at the recent Halloween 30 Years of Terror convention that the sequel is expected to launch into production soon.

The plan is to start shooting next March, although no director has been confirmed at this stage. However, Akkad apparently said Tyler Mane would return as Michael Myers.

That’s all we know at this point. What do you think? Do you really want more “Halloween” rebooting?
