We've got more interviews from the opening night of Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights, which is now ongoing through the end of the month. Beyond the break you'll find our exclusive chat with Rob Zombie from the red carpet of the Chiller Eyegore Awards where he talks about The Blob remake, along with the future of music.
We were lucky enough to catch Rob Zombie for a few minutes on the red carpet before he headed in to accept an award. We asked him about his progress writing the latest BLOG remake, which he was announced to write and direct last month.
“I’m about halfway [done],” he tells Bloody Disgusting adding that he really doesn’t know what the Blob will look like just yet. “I’m still working on it, so I cant really say… I was thinking, you know, it wasn’t going to be a big red globby thing. I don’t know what it IS going to be, it’s more like I know what I DON’T want it to be.”
He also confirms that he’d like to once again work with DP Brandon Trost, who did the cinematography for HALOWEEN II. “Yeah, I loved Brandon, he’s great.” Although, it’s so early that it’s impossible to know if he’ll be involved or not.
We also chatted briefly about the recent news circulating that Zombie’s forthcoming album will be his last. “No, Ill keep making records. I think I said something about the final CD meaning I think about in a year, they literally won’t manufacture CDs anymore.”
We also asked him what type of business model he’s interested in for the future of music distribution. “I don’t know, I don’t know what people are going to do, because once CDs are literally dead, what do you do? Have a song of the month club or something?” We also asked him as a fan, if he’s ever felt ripped off by purchasing a CD and then putting the music on an iPod. “What I do that I hate is I still buy CDs, put it on my iPod and literally forget that I bought the CD because it’s mixed in with literally 15,000-f*cking-songs. Whereas [before iPods] you had the album and listened to it a million times.”
Oh boy.... ladys and gents get ready for the most fucked up blob movie ever. Holloween 2 was so damn disturbing... and i am never disturbed by his films but that movie was really fucked... I love zombie
I have loved all of Zombies movies Halloween 1 and 2 being my fav horror movies ever. i was never a big fan of the blob but i will check it out anyway just because he is attached to it. also cant wait for the new album.
Rob Zombie is an excellent director, can't wait to see his take on the Blob. I'm also glad to hear he won't be dropping out of the music business, the new album is really good.
He said he doesn't want it to be some "globby thing". He does realize the title is "THE BLOB", right? Rob, it's a big blob of goo. Let me guess, he'll make it be a globby thing with a redneck upbringing and it says the word "fuck" a lot.
yeah, chud would be cool. but i'm pretty curious about how this'll turn out. really dug the cinematography in halloween 2. I was hoping he would do T-Rex next though.
I don't know what to think about the blob. I've never seen the original to be honest because I always thought it was a dumb idea. Well, I like RZ'S films so I'll give it a shot.
I welcome a remake of The Blob.
Hell, I don't begrudge anyone making a remake of anything. If I prefer the original, then I prefer the original. It's not like RZ is going to rip my 1988 The Blob DVD out of my hands, smack my wife on the ass and leap out the window with a rank fart.
I mean, I've heard that can happen with remakes, but I've yet to experience it.
Just lucky, I guess.
Great, there actually letting Rob Zombie destroy another classic horror. They should just change the name to REDNECK BLOB : THE HILLBILLIES VERSION starring of course worst actress of the year Sheri Moon. Rated R for the language FUCK
sounds cool to me that Rob Zombie is gonna do the remake of the Blob. the 1988 verison is awesome and i can imagine it being very cool and hardcore. i hope he takes what he did in his previous horror movies from Halloween 1 and 2, Devil's Rejects, and House of 1000 Corpses which are my favorite movies of his and go hardcore with it. make it disturbing and gory Rob Zombie!!!
LOL, KANDYKAIN has a good point. Blob visits the trailer park! This will be the first time the Blob will EVER speak in a film, and his first line ever will be "Fuck, bitch, shit, cunt, fuckiddy fucktard, shit motherfucking asshole cunt shit fuckin' fuckshitfuck!".
Yeah Zombie couldn't direct himself out of a door. He fcking sucks, soooo narrow minded.
I'm sure the blob will have a giant beard covering it, and it will spit out curse words as it devours @sshole hillbillies.
sigh.. listen.. I'm from the southern portion of this great nation, memphis, tn. I say we string his ass up and shoot em with bottle rockets. then have a good old fashioned lynching from the dragula. no hoods involved. jsut wanna help the youngsters out by not subjecting them to shitty movies. they dont deserve this. I grew up on clive barker and wes craven. these kids are growing up on zombie and platinum dunes. somebody has to stop it.. give me, seven of my closest cousines, and uncle "earl" 3 cases of beer and a length of rope.. let us show this dumb fuck what "psycho hillbilly" is all about.
