More pulp violence from Rob Zombie today, with the director posting a new piece of art from his secretive, live-action film entitled Tyrannosaurus Rex on MySpace. The art is in the same style as the previously released teaser poster, and bears similarity to this cover of The Nail, the Dark Horse comic book Zombie collaborated on a few years ago. However, Zombie has emphasized to fans that his movie is not a direct adaptation. Here’s the rumored logline according to Bloody Digusting from back in February:

T-REX is about a wrestler named Tyrannosaurus Rex who is on the run from a biker gang from hell. Furthermore, the idea for the film is loosely based on the comic book Zombie did with Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) entitled THE NAIL.

/Film still hopes to see Zombie take advantage of the literal potential in the film’s title by including an homage to the JP-ripoff Carnosaur. Alas, that seems unlikely. Cool art though.

Discuss: The art. The Nail. The movie (re: not his underrated Halloween remake).

    This sounds interesting.
    Also, Halloween is one of the worst films I have ever seen.

    @ Jeffrey

    Ditto.
  • I really liked Devil's Rejects and this will hopefully follow the same track as in tone and characters. So as of now I am looking forward to learning more about this one. I am, however, getting tired of seeing his wife in everything.

    It's just a concept art piece of a guy punching someone...?

    Am I missing something? It's a sailboat, right?

    If that's the worst film you two bozos have ever seen, you need to get out of your mom's basement more often.

    What does going outside have to do with watching shitty films?

    That looks more like boxing than wrestling.
  • I found House of a 1000 Corpses to be a somewhat interesting debut, but I was blown away by Devil's Rejects when I saw it for the first time. I was under the impression that Rob Zombie was some sort of savant. After seeing Halloween he went to idiot savant with it being the worst movie I have ever seen (tied with The Passion of the Christ).

    After comparing Halloween to actually being in a car accident, there is no way I will give Zombie a second chance. I don't care if he makes another Devil's Rejects calibre film. Halloween was such an unpleasant experience I would not risk it.

    He should stick to his EMO music.
