After making a sequel to "Halloween", Rob Zombie is developing "The Blob", a remake to 1958 horror classic of the same name. Variety reported the director/musician, who has been known as an expert in making horror films, has been attached to write, direct as well as produce the new science fiction movie.

Though it is a remake, Zombie promised his film will be much different than the original because he will remove the gigantic Jello creature. "My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing - that's the first thing I want to change. That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now," he explained.
