Rob Zombie's Devils' Rejects Deemed "Too Intense"
Band Photo: Rob Zombie (?)
Launch Radio Networks is reporting that Rob Zombie is about two weeks away from completing work on his second directorial effort, "The Devil's Rejects", and he says the movie is more violent and more psychologically intense than his first film, 2003's "House of 1000 Corpses". In fact, Zombie had to submit the movie to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) eight times, making cuts each time, before it would grant the film an R rating. But Zombie told Launch it wasn't the movie's physical violence that bothered the ratings board. "There was a couple of scenes in particular they just could not get over," he explained. "And, you know, I would talk to them and I'd go, 'Well, what can I cut?' There's no nudity, there's no bad language, there's no violence, there's no nothing.' They're like, 'Yeah, but the tone is too intense.' That literally is like someone watching a comedy and telling you it's too funny, make it less funny."
Zombie says he and the ratings board eventually came to a compromise to get the film its R rating.
"The Devil's Rejects", which stars Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Sheri Moon Zombie, opens in theatres on July 22.
Rob Zombie is also working on a new studio album, although he does not have a firm release date for the record. Zombie will, however, headline the second stage at this summer's Ozzfest, which begins on July 15 in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

The first movie was awesome. Acctually one of my/my girlfriend's favorites. Can't wait to see the new one!
For the brandedcfh420 guy...when you saw him how far from the stage were you? Cause what I've noticed...if you're kinda far back, things will look off time from what you hear because the sound has to travel and sh**. I was just wondering.
\m/ \m/ rock on fellas!

what an interesting dude that rob zombie. cant wait for devils rejects, loved 1000 corpses. not so much a fan of the singing though. white zombie was much better than the solo career. Has anyone listened to scum of the earth? i havent had the chance and would like to know what they sound like.

Zombie doesn't lypsynch, and that pause of breath thing? One, Voiceless is right, two, the cords from the mic to the amp are long and it does take a moment for it(I've seen this happen), kinda like when you say something on the phone, by the time you're done saying it, the person on the other end just starts to hear the beginning of what you said.

I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO SEE AND HEAR THIS...THERE WERE PLENTY OF OTHERS. LOOK, WHITE ZOMBIE IS GREAT MUSIC, AND HOUSEOF 1000 CORPSES KICKED MAJOR A$$, CANT WAIT FOR DEVILS REJECTS, BUT I WILL FOREVER SAY THAT HE WAS LIP-SYNCING. AS MUCH AS HE DANCED AROUND ON STAGE, AND I WAS CLOSE, THERE WAS NO WAY TO BE SAYING THE WORDS AND BE BREATHING IN AS HEAVY AS HE WAS DOING..SORRY...NOT TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE MAD, BUT I SAW AND HEARD WHAT I DID....HES A BETTER DIRECTOR THAN "ROCK STAR"....

If he had to keep resubmitting it this movie should be GGGGRRRREEEEAAAATTTT !!!!!! I thought the last movie was more funny than anything else.This was a little bit of a letdown because.When I want to see a horror movie I expect to be startled if not scared.So sitting their laughing was not exactly what I had in mind.I still liked it though.Perhaps this one will be more what the doctor orderd.
