Rob Zombie to Remake The Blob


Rob Zombie has been tapped to direct the anticipated remake of the 1950s horror classic, "The Blob" which originally starred legendary actor Steve McQueen. Rob Zombie will also be writing and producing the film in addition to sitting behind the camera directing. Production for the movie will commence next Spring.

"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."
