Rob Zombie has just announced that Malcolm McDowell has been cast as Dr. Loomis in Zombie’s re-imagining of Halloween. Earlier this week we learned that Daeg Faerch has been cast as the young Michael Meyers at age 10. Here is what Zombie had to say about the news on his blog:
Well, here is the news you’ve all been waiting for. Who is Dr. Loomis? Well, the answer is….. the one and only MALCOLM McDOWELL ! Yes, lengendary actor Malcolm McDowell will be the new Dr. Loomis.
As many of you know A Clockwork Orange is my favorite film and I am a huge, huge fan of Malcolm. I know Malcolm will kick ass as Dr. Loomis. He is thrilled to be part of HALLOWEEN and is ready to make a new classic.
Halloween is set for an October 31, 2007 release from Dimension Films.
