Rob Zombie's remaking The Blob
Total Film News —
Not content with dragging Michael Myers's corpse out for a second spin with Halloween II, Rob Zombie has snatched the rights to re-invent jelly-like alien invasion pic The Blob. The 1958 original kick-started Steve McQueen's career with a terror-filled tale of an alien object crashing to Earth and unleashing a mass of blubbery material on a small American town that absorbs humans and grows as it goes. It's already been through one remake thanks to Chuck "Scorpion King" Russell, which largely stuck to the idea of the red gooey monster mess. Don't go thinking that the man behind a largely mask-less Michael ...
Rob Zombie Next Remaking ‘The Blob’
We Are Movie Geeks —
The one-time heavy metaller and now director of white trash-filled horror movies is, once again, going back to the remake well. According to Variety, Rob Zombie will write, direct and produce a remake of the 1958 horror classic, ‘The Blob.’
My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing — that’s the first thing I want to change. That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now.
Zombie’s words make us wonder if his next film will feature an all-CG creation, and, if that’s the case, it probably ...
Rob Zombie Continues With The Horror Remakes: Taking On 'The Blob'
:: The Playlist :: —
Rob Zombie sure loves his horror films and his horror remakes, though considering his track-record so far ("Halloween II" was totally forgettable and rote), he might want to stick to original ideas and projects (as in the more successful, "The Devil's Rejects" and "House of 1000 Corpses"). But nope. The rocker turned filmmaker is just too attracted to remakes it seems — and or remake/reboots are just easier projects to get off the ground/ the temptation is just too much to resist. Zombie is turning his "Halloween"-centric eye at a remake of the the 1958 ...
Rob Zombie To Remake THE BLOB Without ' ...a big red blobby thing' !!
Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. —
Merrick here... Quint mentioned this in his HALLOWEEN 2 review ( HERE ), but this news seemed worthy of its own article... Rob Zombie is mounting a remake of THE BLOB. "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." ...says Variety HERE . Presumably, Rob means the film will use a Blob-like creature...perhaps one that stretches and shape shifts in a scary, unpredictable, rapid fashion?...instead of the Jell-O tsunami seen in previous iterations of the concept. ...
GO AWAY, ROB ZOMBIE

(”I’ve been working on my tough-guy look in the mirror at Hot Topic”)
Dimension has hired Rob Zombie to direct a remake of The Blob, and why not? A monkey with d’cks for hands could direct a horror remake. (Plus, it’d probably be good in bed - Rawr.)
Zombie’s deal to make “The Blob” his next film comes as Dimension opens “Halloween II,” the Zombie-directed sequel to his 2007 hit “Halloween.”
In the original “Blob,” an object from space crashes into a field, containing a red blob-like substance that absorbs the ...

Cinematical
I've been patient with Rob Zombie's movies, but for some reason he seems to be exempt from that societal rule which says "Be good at your job, or at least try to improve as often as you can." I've got nothing personal against the guy, I actually do dig his music, and I'm sure he's a wonderful ...
