August 28, 2009 - The Blob / project announced
Scooped on Saturday, September 5, 2009
Rob Zombie has begun writing a remake of The Blob which he will direct and produce. The $30 million dollar production will go before cameras next spring. Producing with Zombie will be Richard Saperstein, Brian Witten, Judith Parker Harris and original 1958 Blob producer Jack H. Harris.
"My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing, that's the first thing I want to change," Zombie told Variety. "That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now. I have a totally different take, one that's pretty dark."
The director of House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects and the relaunch of the Halloween horror franchise also said of his next, "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. Even more than Halloween where I had to deal with accepted iconic characters like Michael Myers and Laurie Strode. The Blob is more concept than specific storyline with characters, so I can go nuts with it. [Full story]
