On the day in which his HALLOWEEN II hits theaters, Variety announce that Rob Zombie will remake the 1950's classic film THE BLOB.Zombie will write, direct and produce a remake of the 1958 horror classic that launched the career of one Steve McQueen, according to the trade.
In the original "Blob," an object from space crashes into a field, containing a red blob-like substance that absorbs the humans it contacts and grows exponentially. While Zombie was a fan of the original, he's formulated a decidedly different take that he would not reveal.
The remake will cost around $30 million.
Steve McQueen was great wasn't he. I have his dvd Papillion and have watched it over and over.
