Called It: Rob Zombie is Making Another Horror Movie
Hey, so not to pat myself on the back or anything, but remember last year when Rob Zombie said The Lords of Salem “is my last sort of horror-genre related film for a really long time,” and I called bullshit?
Well, hey, lookee what I just read on Blabbermouth:
“According to The Pulse Of Radio, Rob Zombie has revealed that he has scrapped his plan to make a hockey movie called Broad Street Bullies in favor of another movie in the genre he’s most associated with, horror. Zombie told New Zealand’s 3 News that despite working on his sports film for nearly two years, he suddenly came up with a new idea for a horror movie that his producers loved and immediately wanted to set up. Zombie explained, ‘That turned into a weird bidding war and that became the next film.’”
OH MY GOD IT IS SO HARD BEING RIGHT ALL THE TIME.
The article continues:
“Zombie did not divulge any details of the new movie’s plot, but hinted that it may be in the same vein as one of his earlier films, the fan favorite The Devil’s Rejects . He said, “I think it’s something fans of the other stuff will like. Probably fans of The Devil’s Rejects will enjoy [it] the most. It’s not connected to that film, but it’s more on that headspace.’”
The Devil’s Rejects, eh? I wonder why Zombie is name dropping that particular piece of his oeuvre?
I guess we should just be grateful he doesn’t actually own the rights to the Halloween franchise.
ANYWAY, I asked my friend Luis, who is a Rob Zombie megafan, what he thought of the news, and this is the photo he sent me:
