ZSI: ZOMBIE SCENE INVESTIGATION

So apparently Rob Zombie’s next directing gig isn’t going to be the long-gestating Tyrannosaurus Rex or previously-announced remake of The Blob, but rather… an episode of CSI: Miami. For those of who aren’t familiar with the program, it’s basically a forensic science-centric police procedural. It is also one of many shows on CBS that I do not understand why people watch.

I’d love to make fun of Zombie and say that this must mean he can’t get a feature off the ground… but there’s no evidence that this is the case. Quentin Tarantino directed an episode of the original CSI back in 2005, and whatever you wanna say about QT, you can’t say his career is hurting. And, if we’re being honest, I’d rather see Zombie do this than fuck-up The Blob.

Meanwhile, I hear that his animated film, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, is actually good. It went straight to DVD last year… anybody catch it?
