Rob Zombie to Direct The Lords of Salem This Spring
Rob Zombie will be sitting in the director’s seat for The Lords of Salem, and a planed date to begin shooting is early this spring.
This is the third title from the Haunted Movies banner (the first, a house thriller Insidious will be released this April and the second one is a still shooting Sci-fi The Bay), a partnership between the U.K.’s Alliance Films and Paranormal Activity producers Jason Blum, Oren Peli and Steven Schneider. Announcement lined up for the European Film Market in Berlin.
The thriller takes place in a present-day Salem, Massachusetts, where the residents are disturbed by a satanic gathering of 300-year old witches. Zombie will write the script while on his upcoming concert tour, and will film next year. He originally marked the Salem several years ago, but started again when he changed his plan to direct a remake of The Blob. He made the deal with Haunted Films because he liked the autonomy.
What excited me most was Jason saying, you can have total control over the script, casting and final cut. I said I’m in.”
H2: Halloween 2 Teaser Trailer
Dimension Films has unveiled the first full trailer for Rob Zombie‘s “H2: Halloween 2,” the continuation of his rebooted horror series from 2007.
Rob Zombie’s H2 will pick up at the exact moment the first movie stopped and follow the aftermath of Michael Myers murderous rampage through the eyes of heroine Laurie Strode.
“H2: Halloween 2″ is again both written and directed by musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie. This sequel is the continuation of a “reboot” of John Carpenter‘s original Halloween series that lasted for eight films until “Halloween: Resurrection” in 2002.
Halloween Sequel “H2″ Gets a Director and Poster
Dimension Films has announced that the company will make “H2“, the sequel to Rob Zombie‘s 2007 reinvention of the horror classic Halloween.
Zombie will write and direct “H2″ with production set to begin in March with the new film picking up right as the first remake ended, following the aftermath of Michael Myers‘ murderous rampage through the eyes of the sister he hunted.
Rob Zombie said:
“I was so burned out. (But) I took a long break, made a record and I got excited again.” Now, we’ll be hauling ass, and that’s the problem making a movie called ‘Halloween’: If you come out Nov. 1 or after, nobody cares. If it was called anything else, I’d be fine.”
