Rob Zombie Puts Hockey Movie On Hold to Focus on New Horror Project

Rob Zombie making a new horror movie may sound obvious, given that it's what he's known for, but it was his plan to leave horror for a bit after The Lords of Salem to work on a hockey movie, called Broad Street Bullies. Horror fans that love his movies will be happy to hear that he's put that project on the back burner and has his sights set on a movie he compares to The Devil's Rejects. 

Here's what he had to say about his next movie during a recent interview:

"I'd been working on this hockey film for over two years, it took so much research and work, and I was literally sitting with someone going, 'You know, I have this other idea…'

And I said the idea and they go, 'We'll make that!' And I put together a one-line pitch, because I didn't want to go to pitch meetings and do all that. I'd call them on the phone and go, "Here's my idea, blah blah blah,' and they're like, 'We're in!' So you slave over something for years and it's still difficult, and you say some crazy thing off the top of your head and they say 'Where do we sign?'. And that turned into a weird bidding war. And that became the next film...

...I think it's something fans of the other stuff will like. Probably fans of The Devil's Rejects will enjoy the most. It's not connected to that film but it's more on that headspace".

That's all we know about the new project at this time, but we're sure that Rob Zombie will provide more details in the coming months, especially if this project is a done deal, like the interview makes it sound. We'll keep Daily Dead readers posted on any developments.
