Now that Rob Zombie has finished Halloween II and will "never" come back for another, Variety reports he has set his sights on another remake, The Blob. Zombie will write, direct, and produce a reinvention of the 1958 classic sci-fi movie, and he already knows how he will make it different.
My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing — that's the first thing I want to change. That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now.
Zombie still intends for to be scary, but wants to stay away from the horror of his Halloween movies.
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. 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.
But wouldn't Zombie find that same freedom if he tried to make a full-length feature out of his Grindhouse trailer, Werewolf Women of the SS? Considering Robert Rodriguez is making Machete, Zombie agrees that the time is right.
I feel that the Nazi movie is back. Once the trend comes back, the Nazi trends comes back, now you pervert it like crazy and you add werewolves. So, I don't know if we'll ever see that movie, but now is the time. The time is now to strike with this.
I actually did sketch out a whole story. It's so insane, it's ridiculous. It involves time travel. I would love to make that movie. Grindhouse was made like a traditional movie, they spent a lot of money. I would like to go make Werewolf in two weeks with no money.
If Zombie makes both The Blob and Werewolf, that would indeed make him too busy for another Halloween. That is, until he sees what another director wants to do with Halloween III and he gets "protective" again.
