ROB ZOMBIE Approached For 'Heavy Metal'

April 8, 2009

ShockTillYouDrop.com reports that Rob Zombie was approached by David Fincher and Kevin Eastman to direct a segment of their proposed revival of the animated anthology "Heavy Metal", doing "something that could fuse his story with his music." Having some experience in animation with the still-unreleased "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" and directing a segment in MTV's "Beavis and Butthead" film, Zombie was interested, but hasn't heard anything since first being approached.

In late February, Rob Zombie began shooting his sequel to "Halloween", tentatively titled "H2". The follow-up to the rocker-turned-director's 2007 hit remake of the horror classic is due out at the end of August.

"H2" is shooting in Georgia.

Zombie said in one recent interview that the new film will focus less on serial killer Michael Myers and more on his sister, Laurie, played by Scout Taylor-Compton.

As for Zombie's next studio album, he recently completed recording for it and plans to issue the disc in either late summer or early fall, according to HardDrive Radio.
