Rob Zombie to Remake ‘The Blob’
He’s at it again. Cult hero Rob Zombie has been tapped to remake The Blob. Rob Zombie will write, direct and produce a remake of the 1958 horror classic that launched the career of Steve McQueen. Production will begin next spring.
Zombie’s deal to make The Blob his next film comes as Dimension opens Halloween II, the Zombie-directed sequel to his 2007 hit Halloween.
In the original Blob, an object from space crashes into a field, containing a red blob-like substance that absorbs the humans it contacts and grows exponentially. While Zombie was a fan of the original, he’s formulated a decidedly different take that he would not reveal.
“My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing — that’s the first thing I want to change,” Zombie said. “That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now.”
“I’d been looking to break out of the horror genre, and this really is a science fiction movie about a thing from outer space,” Zombie said. “I intend to make it scary, and the great thing is I have the freedom once again to take it in any crazy direction I want to.”
Zombie has begun writing. He’ll follow the release of Halloween II with a new album and tour this fall and get the script done at that time.

I will go ahead and call bullshit on this, until I hear it from another source. Im suprised he would do another remake after getting so much shit for remaking the Holloweens.
Well good.. let’s turn another classic into utter shit. Way to go Rob!
Fuck every piece of shit horror remake, they are all completely worthless
The original Halloween wasnt that classic. Hell everyone hated it until he put the piano in it.
The orginal Halloween wasnt that classic. Hell until john put in the piano sounds everyone hated it.
hahahaha. BLOB ZOMBIE
People need to stop allowing Zombie to make movies. Halloween 2 was complete shit. Way to kill a classic. Fucking hack.
I think House of 1000 Corpses and Devil’s Reject’s kicked ass. The studio was going to do H2 even if Rob didn’t . So that’s why he took it on. I’d much rather see him do his own movies though.
halloween 2 was total crap,, worst rob zombie movie
