Rob Zombie has tapped Danielle Harris (info) — who played Michael Myers' niece, Jamie Lloyd Carruthers, in "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" and "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers" — to take on the role of Annie Brackett in Zombie's upcoming remake of John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic "Halloween".
The casting breakdown for Rob Zombie's "Halloween" describes Annie Brackett as "Laurie Strode's best friend, cute, and curly-haired, full of teen enthusiasm and charm. Borderline bad girl (she rebels, but in a sweet way)."
"Halloween" cast so far:
Dr. Loomis - played by Malcolm McDowell
Young Michael Myers - played by Daeg Faerch
Adult Michael Myers - played by Tyler Mane
Deborah Myers - played by Sheri Moon Zombie
Mason Strode - played by Pat Skipper
Cynthia Strode - played by Dee Wallace-Stone
Annie Brackett - played by Danielle Harris
Ronnie White - played by William Forsythe
Big Joe - played by Ken Foree
Nole Kluggs - played by Lew Temple
Ismael Cruz - played by Danny Trejo
As previously reported, Zombie has started making a documentary on the production of "Halloween". Zombie wrote in an recent online posting, "Many of you have been asking if I plan on making a 'making of Halloween' documentary similar to the '30 Days In Hell' one on 'The Devil's Rejects' DVD. Well, the answer is yes. We started shooting on the first day of pre-production and we will continue up until we are finished."
Zombie also wrote that he's seen the finished mask that will be worn by "Halloween"'s killer, Michael Myers, and commented, "All I can say is 'HOLY F***.'It looks perfect. Exactly like the original. Not since 1978 has (Myers) looked so good."
"Halloween" is due in theatres on August 31, 2007. Filming begins later this month. The movie is Zombie's third feature film as a director after 2003's "House of 1000 Corpses" and 2005's "The Devil's Rejects".
As reported last week, Zombie announced that he is working on a boxed set for his previous band, WHITE ZOMBIE. A solo live album is also scheduled for release sometime early this year.

I, for one, am FUCKING STOKED about this. Stellar cast, no doubt...and if Rob's first two films are any indication (House of 1000 Corpses & The Devils Rejects), we're in for a REAL treat. Rob knows how to film a 70's horror film...like it's a 70's horror film...and that's more credit than I can give a lot of dudes.
Honestly, House & Rejects are two of the best horror films to come down the tailpipe in years, so far as I'm concerned...
I really think this remake is going to do Halloween justice - and it's certainly better than sitting through Halloween pt. 34, or whatever they're up to now.
