ROB ZOMBIE Says 'House Of 1000 Corpses' Sequel Will Be 'A Lot More Violent'

July 29, 2003

Rob Zombie recently spoke to MTV.com about the sequel to his directorial debut, "House of 1000 Corpses", tentatively due next spring.

"[Making the movie] is totally different this time," Zombie said. "With Lions Gate [Films], they came to the rescue. And they really believe in the project. It's more like the opposite [of making the last one]. This time they are wishing me to move faster, so it's kind of funny."

"I started [writing] the sequel before I knew that I had a deal, because I just kind of function that way," Zombie explained. "It's almost done. Most of the script is completed, and if all goes well, we should start shooting in the fall."

Even though "House of 1000 Corpses" was not a box office smash, the relatively low-budget flick's (which cost a reported $7 million to produce) $12.5 million haul was enough to make the studio happy.

"The fan reaction has been amazing, and that's all you can hope for, really," Zombie said. "Without getting too specific, what I want to do with the second one, I don't want to re-create the first one and just put a '2' on the end of it. [It takes place] a week later, and [it deals with] the repercussions of what happened in the first film.

"At this point I kind of know what everybody loves, and that's all the bad characters, obviously," he added. "So it's just them going off on other things. But it's going to be totally different than anyone expects. And it will probably be a lot more violent."

Zombie's last studio album was 2001's "The Sinister Urge". He has no plans to record new material anytime soon.
