Well, he's no longer attached to this one:
"Following The Devil's Rejects and the Halloween films, Zombie's initial intention was to take a break from horror: plans were afoot to make the grindhouse-y Tyrannosaurus Rex ("a really violent, 1970s crime biker movie") and a new version of The Blob. Of the latter, Rob says he simply backed out. "I didn't want to do another remake," he tells us. "You just can't win. If it's too similar to the original, everybody wonders what the point was, but if it's too different, everybody complains that it's... too different! I found especially with Halloween II that everyone talked about what it wasn't and not what it was: 'you can't do that with Michael Myers; you can't do that with Loomis...' It's like people have a set of rules in their minds about how these things should function, and you can't work like that."
I wonder how long it will be before another director remakes it??
