So the actress who portrays Lita Ford in ‘The Runaways,’ and also as Laurie Strode in Rob Zombie’s Halloween movies blabbed via stickam about the upcoming 3D sequel to the Halloween remake films: “They called me up and they said, ‘So we’re gonna do H3 in two months, we don’t really know our director and we don’t have a script’,” she says. “I said ‘No’ because I felt like they were rushing it and feel like they were just gonna make it suck.” She continues, “I honestly think it needs to stop. But if its a great script I definitely wanna do it…but Im definitely not gonna do a movie that sucks.”

I have uploaded new event photos of Scout attended the ‘Halloween II’ Los Angeles Premiere on August 24, 2009.

Few things mess a girl up like being relentlessly hunted by their lug of a big bro. Rob Zombie knows this, so when he wrote Halloween II (out this Friday), the sequel to his grungy re-imagining of the franchise that started it all, he made sure to take the protagonist Laurie Strode, and well, fuck her up. That’s where Scout Taylor Compton comes in — she’s the actress Zombie plucked from relative obscurity to play Strode, the original scream queen. Audiences know Strode best as a babe hiding beneath a book nerd, made famous by Jamie Lee Curtis in John Carpenter’s original 1978 film. But Compton tells us Strode is now a completely different person–a manic mess, lost in the trauma of the first film and struggling to find her way out.

What’s different about the film this time around?
Laurie is definitely not a wholesome girl anymore. She’s gone through a big ordeal so she’s just trying to control it, and she’s just kind of losing it really. And she just doesn’t know how to control it.

Were you surprised when you read the script to see how much your character has changed?
I was surprised, but I was thankful because that’s honestly how I pictured Laurie Strode. If you see the ending shot of the first Halloween, that’s exactly how I pictured Laurie being in a few years. I’m glad Rob took that chance of making her that way.

There’s a video of you and Rob on YouTube and you guys seem really comfortable with each other—like old friends. What has the progression of your relationship been like, from the first film until now?
I can honestly say that we are really good friends and that was something really great to have while filming Halloween II, because there was this trust that we had for each other that you don’t find with a lot actors and directors. For the first one I was completely nervous, I didn’t know how to deal with him, he didn’t know how to deal with me, and now we are completely comfortable with each other.

Do you know what reignited his interest in the project? Because I know he wasn’t planning on doing it for a while, and then he suddenly changed his mind.
Well, I had heard a story that he went to the Scream Awards and he had heard that two French directors were going to do it and once Rob starts something, if he can continue his vision, he’s going to go for it. I know he wanted to continue his vision. That’s kind of what I heard and when I got the call about him doing it, I was definitely for it. Continue Reading »
