Rob Zombie on Recasting Young Myers in "H2"
Posted: March 6th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Actor Daeg Faerch, who played the young Michael Myers in the first Rob Zombie-directed "Halloween" film has recently revealed that he won't be returning for the sequel. "Although I was contracted to reprise the role of young Michael Myers in the upcoming H2 after filming briefly on the set in GA, I am to be recast due to my increased height."
Now, Zombie has released a statement about Faerch and his decision to recast him: "I know some of you are confused as to why Daeg is not in the film. Recasting young Michael was not something I wanted to do, but the scenes just didn't work anymore. Daeg is no longer a little boy, he is a teenager with a deep voice. Once you see the film you will understand why I made this choice. It was not an easy choice and was not made lightly. Daeg kicked ass in Halloween, but things change. I think Daeg is very, very talented and I wish him all the best."
No word yet on Faerch's replacement. Stay tuned.

Who cares this kid sucked in the first one as well as the movie. But whatever they're making another one but I am not sad this kids is not in it.

Nice grammar. And the kid did okay, and there have definitely been worse horror remakes. I wouldn't say his performance or the movie sucked. And again Blink_Pimp_182......nice grammar.

What a delight to be privy to the inner workings of such a profound and relevant artist's creative process! Oh, the choices you face for the sake of bringing joy to this dreary shell of a world, Mr. Zombie. Such trials, such trials. Thank you for having the strength it takes to be The Decider.

This good should feel blessed he doesn't have to be associated with Zombie. I feel sorry for the next...
This "good"? What exactly, is a good?

makes sense, I thought the kids did a great job in the first one but what has to be done has to be done

Why does H2 need flashbacks anyway? How do they add any tension? I think Daeg is a strong pressence in the first one, and funny as "Michelle" in Hanc*ck, but we know the backstory and we don't have to see Laurie as an infant again either. Get on with the hospital horrors.
