Rob Zombie announced one day before Halloween 2 hit theaters that he plans to remake The Blob.
Zombie said that this is his attempt to get out of the horror genre by remaking a Sci-Fi film about a thing from outer space, instead of a movie about an iconic killer.
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. I have a totally different take, one that’s pretty dark.
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. Even more than `Halloween,’ where I had to deal with accepted iconic characters like Michael Myers and Laurie Strode. `The Blob’ is more concept than specific storyline with characters, so I can go nuts with it.
Personally I'm a big fan of his music and movies and in my childhood I saw The Blob a lot of times =D Captain Spalding thinks this is a great idea:
