Every topic about a remake turns into a "remakes are evil!" discussion. So before it starts, can we please stop the talk about remakes in general and just talk about Zombie's movies and the other Blob movies. Please?
From an interview with Dee Snider and Fangoria.
TIMPONE: There’s a big Internet story going around that you’re directing a remake of THE BLOB. Any truth to that?
ZOMBIE: Yeah, that’s true. Someone came to me, and it was a budget way beyond anything I’ve ever worked with, and said, “You can do anything you want,” which of course are always the magic words to me. Because I’m gonna do it anyway, so they might as well just prepare themselves. What I love about it is that it’s cool, it’s a science fiction movie, it’s something different.
TIMPONE: How will it be different than the first two BLOBs?
ZOMBIE: Whatever they did, I want to do the exact opposite. I’m not really a fan of either of those movies.
TIMPONE: The ’80s remake, too?
ZOMBIE: I don’t even remember it. I remember that Kevin Dillon was in it, that’s all.
