Halloween III (3D)

Unreleased

Halloween 3D was to be the sequel to Rob Zombie's Halloween II, written by Todd Farmer and directed by Patrick Lussier. Although a script was written for the film, it was never produced and no director, writer, or cast member was ever known to be attached to the project.

In 2015, the film was reported to have been cancelled due to Dimension losing the rights to the series. In 2018, the IMDb page of Halloween III was removed and replaced by the new Halloween film, Halloween (2018).

Production
The Weinstein Company put Halloween 3D into production shortly after the release of Rob Zombie’s Halloween II. Rob Zombie had already stated he would not return for a third film, and the Weinsteins approached Steve Miner about directing the film in light of his work on the 1982 film Friday the 13th Part III, also in 3D. The Weinstein Company later approached Patrick Lussier (who directed the remake of My Bloody Valentine, also a 3D film), and he was officially signed on as director with his partner Todd Farmer writing the script. Lussier and Farmer contacted Scout Taylor-Compton about the production of the film and how they would be filming soon despite not even having a script yet, but Taylor-Compton declined as she felt they were rushing it, noting that she would only return if she was impressed by the script.

On September 25, 2009, Todd Farmer turned in the first draft of the script. Four days later, on September 29, 2009, production was shut down because the Weinsteins ran out of money. Filming was supposed to begin around the time Lussier and Farmer were filming Drive Angry. The production halt would give the Weinsteins a chance to take their time on production and give Lussier and Farmer time to wrap up Drive Angry, with production on Halloween 3D resuming after the completion of Drive Angry.

On April 6, 2010, Lussier revealed in an MTV interview that the fate of the film depended on Dimension Films and timing.

On June 21, 2011, it was confirmed that Halloween 3D was targeting a release on October 26, 2012, however, with no director or writer attached to the project. On March 7, 2012, the film was dropped from the release schedule as no progress on its production was made. Lussier said, "The script that we wrote I thought was good. We wanted to go back to Carpenter's roots on the original film."

In April 2014, the Weinstein Company announced that they were planning on moving forward with the film.

Various outlets reported that production of the project had been cancelled. After working on Halloween movies for 20 years, Dimension Films had finally lost the rights to the franchise.
