Dread Central asked Malek Akkad (son of producer Moustapha) recently about the recent rumors of the Weinstein's remaking John Carpenter's classic 1978 slasher flick "Halloween", this is what he had to say:

"We have had talks with them about it and it is something we would consider, but we are focusing on getting Halloween 9 made right now. It is a touchy subject because Halloween is such a classic and it still holds up today. It's a case of why fix what isn't broken, but we never say never and it's something we are at least considering for the tenth installment but no decision has been made at this point."

Malek apparently agreed that how well Halloween 9 is received by the fans, as well as how it performs financially, would factor in the decision making process to do a remake or not.

Thanks to 'Johnny'
