Dimension Films have put Halloween 3-D on the back-burner for now. Mainly because their front-burner is so busy cooking up car-chase revenge thriller Drive Angry (one of those films that deserves CAPITAL LETTERS - the 3-D technology of the Caxton era). So rather than serve up a half-raw Halloween threequel, they've taken it off the heat to allow Patrick Lussier to put his full creative chef's weight behind the Nicholas Cage starring vehicle (ahem).

Yes, Patrick Lussier - 3-D guru and, apparently, top gourmet cook will focus on The Cage and his car for now. Then, after that's positively roasted, he'll return to Michael Myer's next outing. Halloween II bombed in America in August and opens here next week. Needless to say, no-one gives a damn.
