Halloween UK

In a 2010 remake of the film Halloween I would not change some iconic features that are associate with the film to keep a sense of identity not only to the genre of the film but the entire franchise. I would keep the same killer but put him as part of another storyline that would be directly linked to the film of the past so audiences immediately get to grips of who the killer is and what his motivate for revenge is.

The two things I would mainly change are the characters and the settings, the characters would need to have a more 21st century look and style about them to maintain the realistic aspect of the film as audiences wont be able to identity with the protagonist like they would have 10 or 20 years ago because the times are different so how they would react to a crazy stalker would be different to times nowadays.

In addition I would have to alter the setting to give it a more up to date look that reflects how society is portrayed now, also some of the ways in which victims die will have to be updated because for audiences in 2009 the way in which victims are murdered would be almost laughable looking back to the 70s so they would have to die in ways that would realistic reflect life in these times.

I would create a character who is a pregnant teenage girl who goes on to be a protagonist in the film, she would be revealed as the daughter of Laura strode( he main female character of the original film) the storyline would revolve around the villains desire to kill the daughter and her baby as a substitute for failing to kill Laurie in the original movie. Her pregnant daughter would highlight the social issue of teenage pregnancy and the lack of a boyfriend supporting the family because their would be an absent Father so she will have to fend of the killer on her own.
