Production on the third instalment of the Halloween reboot has reportedly been put on hold.

Dimension Films co-chairman Bob Weinstein had previously said that the latest cinematic outing for killer Michael Myers would employ 3D technology.

My Bloody Valentine 3D helmer Patrick Lussier was recently confirmed to replace Rob Zombie as director of the movie, scheduled to open in summer 2010.

According to Deadline Hollywood, The Weinstein Company is rushing into a November production on the horror sequel to accommodate Lussier's scheduled start date for Nicolas Cage film Drive Angry in January.

"Bob just felt it was rushing too fast," a studio insider said.

It is understood that Dimension Films will begin shooting the movie after the filmmaker's schedule is freed up.
