Back in 2009, after he’d finished up with his Halloween remake, it was reported that musician-turned-filmmaker Rob Zombie would be turning his attention to another classic horror, signing on to direct a remake of 1958’s The Blob (which was itself remade in 1988). The movie never came to fruition, but now thanks to artist Alex Horley (via Bloody-Disgusting), we’ve got a look at some concept art which shows what Zombie had in mind for the film…
Zombie has previously explained why he abandoned his plans, stating that: “The Blob was going to happen. I was dealing with people on the movie, even though I was on the fence about doing anything that was considered a remake again. I really didn’t like the idea of that, but just as I went down the road further with the producers and the guys that owned the property, I didn’t feel good about the situation and I just walked away from it. My gut told me this was not a good place to be.”
