Rob Zombie Wants You to Take His Blob Seriously
· Having sworn off the rebooted Halloween franchise, Rob Zombie has found another deadly horror villain to revive: The Blob, which first threatened Steve McQueen's town in 1958, was remade a little nastier in 1988, and will shoot next year with a new-and-improved title character. "My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing -- that's the first thing I want to change," Zombie told Variety. "That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now." Well, Rob, it is called The Blob. Perhaps a family of homicidal, inbred redneck gelatinous masses might not be the best way to go with this one. [Variety] Robin Williams goes back to the chapel, Daniel Craig goes back to the movies, and more Hollywood Ink after the jump.
