According to Variety, 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.

Per the terms of the 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.

"We are excited about his fresh take on 'Halloween' and are thrilled to be expanding our relationship with him on future projects," Dimension head Bob Weinstein said. "We admire Rob for all the roles he plays, both as a director and writer."

Zombie said the two-picture deal with Dimension is a "natural step in the evolution of my film career."

Gould, with Spectacle Entertainment Group, produced Zombie's two previous features, "The Devil's Rejects" and "House of 1000 Corpses".

Zombie also directed the upcoming animated picture "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".
