Presenting: Rob Zombie’s ‘Tyrannosaurus Rex’!
Jun 23rd, 2008 by Bryan White
I have real mixed feelings about Rob Zombie as a filmmaker. I absolutely hated the Halloween remake in spite of my wishy washy review and I’m willing to cut House of 1,000 Corpses a little slack because it was his first feature coming off a string of director spots on music videos, but I shouldn’t have liked The Devil’s Rejects as much as I did. He definitely seems to have a style and when he’s doing just that, that is Last House on the Left style mayhem starring a cast of characters seemingly abducted from the parking lot of a Lynyrd Skynyrd show back in 1975, co-starring the questionable acting chops of his wife, but it seems to click. So who knows? Maybe Tyrannosaurus Rex will be something I can appreciate. The poster, at left, already tells you a lot:
Starring Bill Moseley, Sherri Moon Zombie and Ken Foree
I must admit, even though it looks like the cover of a Chaos published comic book, I like it quite a bit. The 51% Motherfucker line tickles me. Has a real Frank Frazetta feel to it. The artist credits actually go to Alex Horley. Expect Tyrnnosaurus Rex in theaters August 28, 2009.
Did you expect anything else? Click the poster for a better look.

So far, I’ve loved all of his movies, I’ve never seen the original Halloween, so I can’t compare, but I loved what he did w/ it. And I loved House and Devil’s Rejects for what they were…. pretty much love everything… Can’t wait for this, and I really hope there is actually a Dinosaur in it!
Have we had this conversation before? The one where I give you a hard time about never having seen Halloween? If not, let’s set up a time where I can chide you about it. Shouldn’t take more than a half hour.
Also, I’m not sure if he can be trusted since Zombie seems to enjoy throwing out disinformation about his projects. Turns out he was the one spreading the rumor that he was remaking CHUD… but this may be based on the comic he did with Steve Niles called The Nail where a pro-wrestler is on the run from a satanic biker gang. I kind of like the sound that.
