"It's a very different film. It's much darker and more serious. It's a gritty crime movie like [the 1973 Terrence Malick film] 'Badlands'. There's nothing campy or wacky at all. Everything that was alluded to in 'Corpses' has been found out in the house...the house is raided by a SWAT team, and it all goes bad from there" - Rob Zombie.
Rob Zombie's 'Corpses' Sequel To Be Followed By Solo Album
MTV reveals that Rob Zombie is about to double his cinematic body count to 2000. His script for "House of 1000 Corpses 2" has been approved, and the horror auteur will start casting the production after the holidays:
"It's a very different film. It's much darker and more serious. It's a gritty crime movie like [the 1973 Terrence Malick film] 'Badlands'. There's nothing campy or wacky at all. Everything that was alluded to in 'Corpses' has been found out in the house...the house is raided by a SWAT team, and it all goes bad from there".
In addition to directing "House of 1000 Corpses 2," Zombie plans to start writing his next solo album early next year. Although he hasn't written any new songs, he's got a game plan.
"I really want to make a much heavier, darker record. I'm not worrying about radio or television or anything. I just want to make a really scary record".
On top of his new movie and his next record, Zombie will continue to work on his "Spookshow International" comic-book series and collaborating with writer Steve Niles on at least three new comics. He'll also relaunch his record label, Zombie-A-Go-Go, which has been dormant for several years.
