Here’s a new-ish poster for Rob Zombie’s upcoming horror film, “The Lords Of Salem” that is being produced by the “Paranormal Activity” team. It’s also coming in place of “The Blob” which the musician turned filmmaker left. Zombie sounds like he’s going to have a lot of creative control.
“I didn’t even have an idea at the time. The [producers] were like, ‘If you want to make a movie, if you have an idea we will give you complete control over casting, the script, the final cut of the picture — everything,” he told Billboard in a recent interview. “You never hear that. Nobody hears that. Everything’s a battle, but these guys were like, ‘That’ll be our deal with you.’ And I was like, ‘Great!'”
Zombie says he’ll probably start production on the film next March or April and that his current band will likely compose the film’s music. “We’ll probably do the score this time out — not rock music, but a score. I know I want music to play a large role.”
Great, indeed. See you, what 2012? Maybe this will learn you from hanging out with those Weinstein Company boys so much. [RoadRunner]
