New Rob Zombie flick - "The Lords of Salem"

[LouCipherr]

Good lord, I have no idea what to make of this: Rob Zombie recently spoke to Billboard.com about his next directorial project — "The Lords Of Salem", a thriller set in contemporary Salem, where the inhabitants receive a demonic visit from a 300-year old coven of witches. Zombie will write and direct the film in conjunction with producers of the hit "Paranormal Activity". "They came to me and wanted to work together," Zombie told Billboard.com. "I didn't even have an idea at the time. They were like, 'If you want to make a movie, if you have an idea we will give you complete control over casting, the script, the final cut of the picture — everything. You never heard that. Nobody hears that. Everything's a battle, but these guys were like, 'That'll be our deal with you.' And I was like, 'Great!' " Zombie expects to being production in late March or early April. He's also hoping to involve his current band in the film's soundtrack. "I've been thinking about the music in this movie early, early on," he told Billboard.com. "We'll probably do the score this time out — not rock music, but a score. I know I want music to play a large role." "The Lords Of Salem" will be produced by Blum, Schneider, and Peli, Zombie and Zombie's producing partner, Andy Gould. Brian Kavanaugh-Jones of Automatik will executive produce. If they gave him this kinda control over Halloween and Halloween 2, this movie will be fucked 3 ways to Sunday.

Won't be getting my $12.50 that's for sure.

"And a resounding 'MEH' was heard to echo throughout the land..."

I'm making a few casting predictions... Sheri Moon Zombie Danny Trejo Danielle Harris Bill Moseley That's right, I'm just psychic like that... j.p.

Fingers crossed that he can draw up some of that mojo he had during The Devil's Rejects...

[LouCipherr]

I'm making a few casting predictions... What ever gave you the idea he'd cast those people?! Fingers crossed that he can draw up some of that mojo he had during The Devil's Rejects... I'm hoping for the best, but honestly, expecting the worst. TDR was a fantastic film, but he's done more bad flicks than good, so...

[MinionZombie]

Well I hope that this one turns out good. It seems like he didn't have complete control over the Halloween films, and it was surprising he did H2 at all considering what he said - but well, who knows ... anyway, it's good to see this will be an original project rather than another remake. Although I was really hoping he'd do T-Rex ... maybe some day for that.

[LouCipherr]

After all the news floating around, I thought the next project he helmed would be The Blob. Guess that fell through or was just pushed off 'till later. Probably a good thing though - if you're gonna screw up a movie, don't do it with a classic... oh, wait, he already did that.

What do you guys think will happen with The Blob? He keeps talking stearing away from the red jello-monster. I have some ideas for a substitute of the original slime monster, but I do not want Rob Zombie stealing ideas from me and taking credit.

[LouCipherr]

What do you guys think will happen with The Blob? The easy answer to that is: if Rob Zombie has anything to do with it, it'll get completly fucked up. Sorry dude, I could not resist.

[bassman]

He keeps talking stearing away from the red jello-monster. And replacing it with a mullet-wearing, toothless alcoholic named bubba. Bubba's got a hankerin' for some killin'.

Yeah but j.p. your going out on a limb with those names. I say none of your predictions make it in. I mean come on, what were you thinking?

[blind2d]

The Blob? But that was already remade! It's unthinkable to remake a remake! Or remake a film again! More than once! Unheard of!

[MinionZombie]

The Blob? But that was already remade! It's unthinkable to remake a remake! Or remake a film again! More than once! Unheard of! RZ's not doing The Blob re-re-make anymore though, he's onto other things (wisely, I think), lest he get trapped in the remake whirlwind like Marcus Nispel.
