Lussier & Farmer Talk ‘Halloween 3’
During his visit to the set of director Patrick Lussier and co-scripter Todd Farmer’s Drive Angry 3-D in May, B-D reporter Chris Eggertsen tried to get something – anything – out of them regarding the status of Halloween 3 (earlier reported to be a 3-D affair). Read on to hear what they had to say.
Farmer indicated at the time that the duo would still be interested in tackling the project:
“I think there’s not many who don’t know that we did ‘Halloween 3’ and we would still, Patrick and I both, would still very much love to do ‘Halloween 3’…We have written a first draft of that and so now it’s in the capable hands of the Weinstein Company.”
The subject still seemed a little raw for Lussier, though. When I asked him about it, his answer was very short and very curt:
“I know nothing about ‘Halloween 3’,” he snapped. “My last involvement with the project was Christmas. My last conversation with the Weinsteins was at that time. Beyond that I know nothing. You know as much as I do.”
Ouch. Sounds like it might be a long time before we see this one materialize.
