Horror director Rob Zombie is moving on from Halloween remakes to remake The Blob.

Variety reports that funding is in place to make an R-rated $30 million film, and Zombie will complete the script while he’s on tour with his new album this fall. Producers are confident that a distribution deal will be made before the production begins in Spring 2010.

The original film tells the story of people of a small town who refuse to listen to a group of teenagers who witnessed a mysterious creature from another planet land on earth. The ever-growing giant blob of jelly absorbs the humans it contacts and destroys the town.

I must say, I’m very curious to see his take on a movie like the blob. It’s hard to make a gelatinous mass seem scary, although the original did frighten me as a child.
