ROB ZOMBIE: There Will Be No No 'Rejects' Sequel
July 25, 2005Launch Radio Networks reports: Rob Zombie's second movie as a writer and director, "The Devil's Rejects", grossed approximately $7 million over its opening weekend, good enough for No. 8 at the box office. But no matter how well "Rejects" ultimately does, Zombie told Launch that he won't be doing a sequel. "No. It ends here," he said. "I couldn't do anything with any impact if the movie ended and you felt like it set you up for another movie. That's the main thing I hate about sequels. There is no big dramatic ending, there is no climax, because they don't want to have one. The movies never end. You just lessen the impact just to protect your franchise."
"The Devil's Rejects", which opened on Friday (July 22),is itself a loose sequel to Zombie's 2003 directorial debut, "House Of 1000 Corpses".
Zombie does have other movie projects in the works, one of which is an animated film based on his comic book character, Superbeasto. Zombie is currently headlining the second stage of Ozzfest 2005, which pulls into Holmdel, New Jersey for a two-day stand on Tuesday (July 26) and Wednesday (July 27).
The rocker-turned-filmmaker has also been working on a new album, which he hopes to finish this fall and release by early 2006.
