Zombie Inks 2-Pic Deal with Dimension

Posted by support@reallyscary.com (ReallyScary.com) on August 29, 2007 Variety reports Dimension Films has inked a two-picture deal with writer-director Rob Zombie. Andy Gould, Zombie's longtime manager and producing partner, has boarded both projects as producer.

Pact comes as Dimension and distrib partner MGM prepare to release Zombie's Halloween nationwide this weekend. Per the terms of the two-pic deal, Zombie will write and direct both titles, although Dimension didn't release any further details about the projects, including whether they would be horror films.

Zombie also directed the upcoming animated pic The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, featuring Paul Giamatti in the lead voice role. He also helmed one of the fake trailers, Werewolf Women of the S.S., featuring Nicolas Cage, that was part of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse.
