Rob Zombie to Remake the Blob without the Blob

Just wanted to post this here to show how preposterous it is. From Ain't It Cool 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. Otherwise, why call this THE BLOB?

Zombie's BLOB will shoot for the $30 million (ish) budget model successfully utilized by CLOVERFIELD and DISTRICT 9.


Yeah, what a visionary Bob is to reinvent the Blob without a blob. Money say its now about a really fat redneck from a trailer park to threatens to "skull fuck" children.

And making a more contemporary version of this film than the 50's version. That has never happened ever has it? ZOMG maybe next he'll remake Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Thing, or The Day the Earth Stood Still. This guy's creativity knows no bounds.

He should really stop making movies and go back to the Backstreet Boys. That's what band he was from right? Wasn't he the fat one?

Hey! :pissed:





I will not allow you to tarnish the good† name of a boy band good enough for Weird Al Yankovic to parody for an ode to a website that I frequently use. XD

† Term used loosely. :p

It's scary cause you can't therotically stop it. It just goes on...and...on...and...on without remorse.

If he cuts the original theme or turns it into some terrible nu-metal shitfest, I'm raging.

^ It probably won't be in the movie. Cheesy 70's rock he's a fan of? Yes.

Still going to go with it being a fat hillbilly as opposed to an actual blob.

Capcom made one helluva Blob remake back in 1987:



Even makes a few sequels here & there 20 years later:
