Malcolm McDowell talks about Halloween & Rob Zombie as a Dir

[youngkid978x]

im President John Henry Eden and i approve this message :)

[guitarscreamer32]

I bet after this he's going to put his droog's in place.

[dareallink]

hes no donald pleasance but he created his own dr loomis which is unique :)

[TheGameLover666]

real horrorshow....

[WeylandYutaniInc91]

He is such a great actor. He was great in Halloween but he was horrible in Halloween 2, I heard them making Dr. Loomis a jerk was his idea so I'm mad at him for that.

He's great in Halloween

He sucks in Halloween 2

[Duke0Forever]

I love his voiceover in Killzone 3

[mikeknight4u]

Notice how Malcolm chooses his words carefully. This was a paycheck for him. Can't believe Weinstein produced this film. Eww....

[MajBlood]

@mikeknight4u Lol it is true. McDowell is such a class act. So much respect.

[jjk696969]

rob zombie tries to copy kubrick a little too much. especially when it comes to wide angle shots

[nerdswith8guns]

Lol, it's funny how he tries to say positive things about Rob Zombie, even though he's basically trying to avoid saying he sucks.

[Razersun]

@nerdswith8guns

Agreed.

[Ninjaforhire2008]

I like how he says Robb Zombie should not do too many horror movies.

He didnt wanna come right out and say the guys bad at horror, but u can read between the lines.

I completely fucking agree with that, hes a hack.

As a true horror fan i think his movies are at best amateur.

Only someone who didnt grow up in the hayday of horror classics would even think his movies were scary in the least.

[MrArnold1972]

its interesting to note that donald pleasance was not actually first choice for the john carpenter film..but christopher lee was the first choice and then peter cushing...goes to show that english actors make for great horror actors.

[Rabidpit189]

I would love to see this man do a movie with Morgan Freeman!

[REKONBALL2]

he was such a better dr loomis than donald pleaseance!!!!!

[gustavodfl]

CRAP!

[Chynaash]

did not anyone else loved him clock work oragne? i did and i loved it. loved him on the show heroes (which got better with him then latered screwed when he lift) and anything else he's in.

[yusefalsanad1]

why is one of the most under-rated, talented actors ever comparing rob zombie to stanley kubrick, this is probably due to his dignity he has, or is it just that he loves his type of work with guys with the reputation of zombie, oh well i will never know!!!!

[KatieBarber]

great bolshy yarblockos to anyone who thinks the lovely Mr. McDowell is anything short of brilliant

I love this man - so so underrated

[WhisperingDeath90]

this new halloween was very good. i didint have high hopes for it but actually was rather good. and malcom was in it that was a plus. he has such a charismatic voice and i enjoy listening it. especially in enclave radio. i hope i could know this legendary actor and a human being in person.

[KRATOSRETURNSv2]

Really good actor.

[MunkdGuru]

Alex!

[CounterNerd]

man the voice he does to president eden in fallout 3 is just awesome!

[instereovideos]

we all love malcom mcdowell, but i always get the strangest feeling watching him now that he is really detached from what's going on around him... hasn't seen a horror film since the exorcist, thinks Rob Zombie directs something other than horror films, I swear I think the guy just stays in his house all day and night and occasionally comes out to go to a movie set.

[angrychair07]

come and take one in the yarbles if you have any yarbles!!

[superpunk]

you eunuch jelly, thou...

[sk84lifedemon]

gotta say his best film is a clockwork orange, he is amazin in da

[supertoxicman]

love this guy!

[FreakinSweet86]

Yes if YOU got shot you would die but you're not the inhuman soulless powerhouse that is Michael Myers, you can't kill evil. Plus Carpenter's Halloween is better than this streak of piss.

[vilve998]

im sorry for being such ass crack by asking but i dont know. So who is Loomis is he/she the as you might say "doctor" or some sort. havent seen H2 yet. it isnt relased in finland yet. Tell me how was it??? i really want to know. lol :D

[devmoran2]

o my brother my fave droog

[raiderfan89ify]

malcolm mcdowell was perfectly cast as dr. loomis in halloween remake, =] he had the credibility of a child pshychologist a dr. and a man who wanted to ONLY help michael myers which is very different from that of donald pleasanse.

[JMoney002]

I hope he continues to return to the franchise. The man's a freaking legend, and he even voiced Metallo!

[BentHenny]

Didn't you think Rob made Loomis out to be sort of the bad guy, because he seems in the film to trying to make money off of his time spent with Myers with the book he wrote.

[raiderfan89ify]

yea but thats only in H2, he was a very different character in the first halloween by rob zombie, he was more of a psycholigist trying to help michael, in H2 hes just more of a diva and an unlikable character acting like a steroetypical celebritie, which in my opinion didnt keep the continuity of how he was in the first halloween, like why would he be a rich and famous author? it didnt make sense to me.

[BentHenny]

Well in the Halloween 2007 he does in fact write a book before going out and looking for Michael. Did you see H2?

[raiderfan89ify]

yea but dr. loomis was more different, i know he wrote a book in the first film, but it was more about him explaining his psycholigical evaluations, he wasnt meant to be the bad guy but more of a regular guy triyn to help michael but soon discovering michael was beyond his control. and yea i saw H2, he was almost the opposite in H2.

[BentHenny]

I am going to send you a pm!

[BentHenny]

Does Loomis and Michael die in H2?

[raiderfan89ify]

lol, i dont want to spoil it for you, lol, but since youre asking, yea they both die.

[BentHenny]

But then who will be in Halloween 3?

[raiderfan89ify]

i really dont know, because at this point rob zombie will not do H3 and at this point dimmension films can do whatever they want with the franchise from this point on. but if you check out H2 and then ending pretty much shows whats next to come.

[BentHenny]

I am glad there will be a new director for Halloween 3D! I think Michael will be back.

[raiderfan89ify]

i agree, i think rob zombie should just stick to his own original ideas rather than just do remakes. michael will be back but it'll be hard to come up with an idea after being killed off. :S

[BentHenny]

How does he die in H2?

I thought he died in Halloween 07 by getting shot in the face?

[raiderfan89ify]

he got shot by sherriff bracket with a sniper, then falling on some old equipment with sharp points, and then gets stabbed to death by laurie, in halloween 07, he wasnt entirely shot in the face, but when he was shot the bullet landed on his right side of his face, so therefore it grazed off in his face instead of blowing a hole in it, just remember in halloween 07, the camera angle never shows michaels head when shot by laurie and laurie closed her eyes after pulling the trigger

[BentHenny]

Yeah, but Loomis shoots him several times in the first and he gets up and if they are bringing him back again we might as well just call him a zombie. No one can take that many shots and live.

[raiderfan89ify]

yea i understand that, in fact im getting the feeling michael myers is becoming more like jason, lol, but loomis actually shot michael in the shoulder and near his back so therefore a person can still live after being shot in those areas. just saying.

[BentHenny]

Sure they can live, but after getting shot in the back and shoulder and face your average person would not be walking around for a while.

[raiderfan89ify]

TRUE, but then again in halloween 4 on the old series, michael near the end of the film gets shot by some cops and a local angry mob with hand guns and shotguns then after he falls in the pit or huge hole in the ground the cops blow it up with grenades, and also not to mention in H2 the movie starts off where the first left off and then jumps ahead a year later, so after a year i think michaels wounds would heal up a bit after hiding himself. lol.

[BentHenny]

If I were to write the screenplay for (Halloween) it would be the most realistic one ever! I think if I got shot in the face and back and shoulder area I might actually die.

[raiderfan89ify]

true, hopefully they hire a writer who can write a screenplay with a more realistic story than the two previous ones. =]

[BentHenny]

The first Halloween ever made was the most realistic to date. God does Michael turn me on!

[vilve998]

he lost his yes there :) weird. but i dont know does he "die" in H2

[Halloween12009]

Dr Loomis is awesume. i mean Malcolm McDowell.

[Sn3kz]

Cabbages, knickers, It hasn't got A BEAK!

[laganas2008]

Eggy wegs....I would like to smash them!

[Pmdbrt]

did u know Malcolm McDowell played the voice of the president on fallout 3

[XFrankieReadX]

I Agree With leticiawestphal

He Was Soo Cute :P

It's Funny How People Age lolz

x

[kawaiitoboe]

Malcolm Mcdowell is so cool! :)

[leticiawestphal]

Malcolm was so fucking sexy when he was younger. Now he is so old !!!!!! I hate the time!

[PunkRocker666Metal]

but he didnt loose his talent ...i mean dude if i would remake A Clockwork Orange i would get HIM as Alex....totally

[korovamilkbar123]

If they made a Clockwork remake, I would probably cast him as Mr. Alexander

[stacilayne]

Getting old certainly beats the alternative (dying young). But let me tell you, as someone who has interviewed Malcolm **many** times, he is still very sexy. He's got that twinkle in his eye :)

[Surfanimal1990s]

Go see some of Malcolm's classics like Blue thunder,Caligula, A Clockwork Orange, get cray and so many other good ones,Man he was great as Dr.loomis!

[AverageSlim]

so this is the guy from fallout 3 president Eden

[MichaelMyers784LIFE]

Malcolm is such a great actor, expecially as Dr. Loomis.

[yumyums12]

wat movie was thatt i forget

[MichaelMyers784LIFE]

Rob Zombie's Halloween, and he was awesume.

[Wez961]

I hate the fact that Breet Ratner is directing the next conan movie, he destroyed the 3rd xmen film. I heard that Rob zombie was in line to do the next conan movie, now that would have been a fuckin gr8 choice. I think Rob has got the right sensibilities to make a gr* Conan movie. Not fair. Hate hollywood.

[Lolita1982]

He`s such a fine actor.

[harryp757]

this movie was fucked up

[AskariWaryaa]

Hes nephew is Alexander siddig, and they are both very similar!

[Daphuhnuh]

Wow, he has gotten such an American accent! What a pity! I loved his English accent..

[SlyVictim]

yeh, his accent was awsome in a clockwork orange

[drumdemon3]

his accent isnt american at all lol,hes totally english,hes just not doing the same silly accent like in clockwork orange which was a put on accent

[ellandroader]

Drumdemon3 - actually his accent in "Clockwork Orange" was a very broad Leeds accent. At least in my opinion anyhow.

[Triplesod]

@Daphuhnuh He hasn't got an American accent.

[lilbigman777]

Ain`t that the motherfucker from "A clockwork Orange"?.....

oh fuck me it is, MY NIGGA!!! =)

[deadwinter55]

From the back he looks a bit like Homer Simpson.

[MelindraMelon]

viejo cochino le quiere ver ahi al principio

[lovethegames]

por que dices eso? en que minuto?

pero no le digas viejo cochino a malcolm xDDDD

[futuremrsfranco]

I loooooove Malcolm McDowell!!!!

[XPrismXGreyX]

ahhh malcom!!!

i loooove you

so sexy

[cfx5000]

As good an actor as he is proclaimed to be,, he did absolutely no justice to the role of Dr. Loomis that Donald Pleasence created.

He blew it basically.

[trichloki]

Really? Because I always felt Donald Pleasence was the comic relief of the Halloween movies. Could be because his dialogue was soooo over the top and hokey. Rock on, Malcolm!

[tjlawson20]

Read some bio on him, he apparently had a bad substance abuse problem in the 80s

[evilempire96]

Yeh I heard about that as well, still he has got such a cool energy about him and still seems young at heart.

[0010110100]

gangster no1. malcom is fanstasic, rob has yet to prove himself but malcom is right he is a great director but hasnt spread his wings yet, malcom knows a good director when he see's one, as in the clip he says rob is no stanly but he has the passion to be one of the greats. i love horror and house of 1000 corpses is a fav of mine but i hope he will direct something that will prove what he is to the rest of the film industry. he diserves credit but not for what he has done...yet

[Deadman6990]

Malcolm McDowell ftw.

[airbaboons]

I think MM is trying to dodge the question by saying nice thins about Zombie, but he really wanted to say, "He doesn't compare at all to the other great directors I've worked with and I'm sort of embarrassed to be in this movie. Crap, what's happened to my life?" LOL Or he's being sincere...... >:)

[clockworkgirl21]

LOL. So true.

[mikegall]

MM is cool, but sucked as Dr. Loomis in the new Halloween. No one can touch Donald Pleasence at Dr. Loomis!

[Tedsuzan]

Malcom Macdowell has one of the best voices on the planet...I watched this video just so I could better learn how to immitate him,lol...

[fcfilms2]

Ok, for starters, to even say the names Rob Zombie and Stanely Kubrick in the same sentence.......gimme a break.

[GlassOnion952]

I think he said that because when "McDowell" and "Director" are mentioned in the same sentence you automatically think of Kubrick...when he mentioned Kubrick he was just clarifying.

[fcfilms2]

I guess, however, this film was a piece of shit. It really was, and she specifically asked how he categorizes them with some of the greats, and he isnt even in the same league of any of the greats. His music is sick, but his films not so much. And to say he has the same intensity as Kubrick, I find that majorly hard to beleive, if he was nearly as perfection oriented as kubrick was, then this movie would have actually been decent lol.

[Godzilla52]

I know Pleasence is dead I'm just saying that what if he was alive

[bigbill1991]

Malcolm the only good actor in this otherwise s--t movie.

[Godzilla52]

Mcdewl is a great actor I cant wait till he and Tyler Mane act in the sequal to Zombies Halloween though the only thing that would make Mcdewl Better with Loomis would be if Donald Pleasence came and tought him a little bit that would make it all the more entertaining

[bigbill1991]

Donald passed away in 1995 before the release of H6.

[grendelee]

FIRSTPOST! lol ust kidding. i lovee malcolm mcdowell, always have. me and the missus just watched caligula. never seem to be able to finnish it....
