Rob Zombie Remaking The Blob



Jeez Rob enough already. How about making something original? You ripped off Texas Chainsaw Massacre for House of 1000 Corpses. Then you ripped off Natural Born Killers for Devil's Rejects. Then you "re-imaged" two Halloweens. Now this? I admit, the Halloween "re-imaging" was needed due to Michael Myers not being scary anymore. You did a decent job. Now let's see if you can truly create something original. Good luck dude.

Source Variety:

Rob Zombie, whose Halloween II opens today, will write, direct and produce a remake of the 1958 horror classic The Blob, which starred Steve McQueen.

In the original, an object from space crashes into a field, containing a red blob-like substance that absorbs the humans it contacts and grows exponentially.

"My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing -- that's the first thing I want to change," Zombie told the trade. "That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now."

Zombie will produce with Genre Co.'s Richard Saperstein and Brian Witten; original "Blob" producer Jack H. Harris; and Judith Parker Harris of Worldwide Entertainment Corp. and Andy Gould.

They are developing the project as an R-rated film that will cost around $30 million to make.

Production will begin next spring.
