Very Interesting ‘H2’ Casting Call
As you all know Rob Zombie is off shooting H2, the sequel to his reboot of the Halloween franchise. While camera are rolling in Georgia, apparently the production team is still out casting some major roles for the film. This one is very interesting. Read on and see if you can help speculate what’s up.
Here’s the casting call that went out:
[BOY] 8 to 11 years old, Caucasian, blond hair, blue eyes (long hair a plus), no taller than 4-foot-10. There’s a veneer of innocence about him, but he’s ultimately revealed to be very dangerous. We need a very capable young actor who is able to be both threatening and vulnerable…STRONG SUPPORTING ROLE
Ok, so I spent the past few hours with my thinking cap on and came to a few conclusions.
The first thought was that young Michael Myers might have an evil friend.
The second made a lot more sense. Have you seen recent pictures of Daeg Faerch, young Michael Myers? He’s freakin’ HUGE. My guess is that in order to have the flashback scenes that were rumored, Zombie is going to need a smaller version of Daeg.
We’ve been told Daeg is on set, so it looks like there could be a wide variety of flashbacks. I guess only time will tell.

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
