ROB ZOMBIE's Mysterious T-Rex Skull Unveiled

March 27, 2008

According to The Pulse of Radio, Rob Zombie has posted a teaser image of a T-Rex skull surrounded by question marks at the official MySpace page of his next movie, "Tyrannosaurus Rex". The film, which is due out on August 28, 2009, is rumored to be about a semi-professional wrestler named Tyrannosaurus Rex who is being pursued by a "biker gang from hell." If that is in fact the premise, it closely resembles a comic book that Zombie co-authored a few years ago, called "The Nail". Although a film version of "The Nail" was reportedly in the works at one point, nothing ever came of it.

In other news, Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, confirmed that she will have a role in the film, just like in her husband's previous three features.

Zombie created "The Nail" with hot horror comics writer Steve Niles, author of the graphic novel "30 Days of Night". Zombie told The Pulse of Radio at the time how the partnership began. "We got together and we're like the same age, and we sort of have the same background, you know, he was in these DC hardcore bands, and somehow we just were very similar," he said. "So we started working together and, I don't know, it just worked. 'The Nail' is pretty ridiculous, it's sort of like ('70s biker horror film) 'Satan's Sadists' meets ('70s Peter Fonda horror movie) 'Race With The Devil'."

Zombie's upcoming animated film, "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto", was also based on a comic book character he created.
