The love that Rob Zombie professed by genre cinema does not stop. Now, the singer-director's new project is to re-adapt the classic science fiction film The Blob, from 1958, a play that functioned as a platform for the actor to Steve McQueen will rise to fame.
As usual with Zombie productions, he himself will direct, write and produce the remake, which plans to start filming next spring.
In the original 1958 tape, The Blob recounted the fall of a flying saucer in the vicinity of a rural town. Inside was a not very friendly alien, who absorbed humans when he crossed paths with them.
Zombie plans to change some details, trying to modernize the original story: “My intention is not to create a huge slimy bug, that's the first thing I want to change. That jelly-like thing would be terrifying in the 50s but people would laugh now. I have a totally different idea, quite dark.
Within the short filmography of Rob Zombie, this will be his 5th film; It will be financed by Jack Harris and will have an initial budget of $ 30 million.
