There is alot missing from the print going around online. Just FYI. If you liked the download the movie will be worth your money but its a bit more sad.
Director Rob Zombie spoke to MTV News about the abandoned ending that was originally planned for the "Halloween" remake, and the reason why he was forced to do re-shoots.
"The train of thought for the ending is, well, you have plans sometimes," Zombie explained. "And the weirdest thing about movies is it's all planned out, but you just don't know. Sometimes, things that you really think will work, and sometimes they're like 'eh'."
The site described the conclusion featuring a late-night showdown on the Myers lawn: "After Michael reaches into Loomis' car and pulls out Laurie Strode (a scene that remains in the film [pictured]), Sheriff Brackett (Brad Douriff) and several other policemen pull up in their cars, sirens blazing. Loomis talks to Michael, urging the cops to hold their fire. Blaming himself for Michael's madness, Loomis talks the killer into dropping the knife and releasing Laurie. But as Loomis embraces the teen, Myers takes a step forward, triggering a hail of reactionary gunfire."
"We were kind of rushed because, filming in Pasadena, it's like 11:00 and — boom! — they shut you down... the cops would step in front of the cameras," Zombie explained. "We were shut down and I thought 'Well, maybe we have it.' Then I started editing, and it didn't feel like I had the end of the movie. Luckily, I had the luxury of going back."
"Now by the end of the movie, on those final frames you're going to think 'Wow, that is Michael's sister,'" Zombie said of the finale you can witness in theaters now. "The other way, it was more like she was a victim being rescued. Now, she becomes her own person."
