Rob Zombie's best movie, and it's not even close, is "The Devil’s Rejects." Although it was a sequel to 2003 subpar "House of 1000 Corpses," the film was a beast of its own and I haven't been shy here at WoR in my enthusiasm about a potential rumored sequel. Last January we were told that a Devil’s Rejects sequel was in the works, and now, we know a little more about the project. Not only is it happening, but it's filming as we speak, with the title "3 From Hell. Zombie confirmed it all on Instagram that Sheri Moon Zombie and Bill Moseley coming back in their respective roles.
Now, curiously, we're all wondering how exactly Zombie plans to make Baby and Otis return for in this sequel, but the title does suggest they might just be sent from purgatory.I don't mind the supernatural element, but what made "The Devil's Rejects" so good was how it felt so real and grounded in a world where evil does exist. Zombie's last film was the disappointing 31 in 2016, but a much-welcome return to familiar territory is just what the doctor ordered.
Rob Zombie‘s currently filming "3 From Hell," a direct sequel to "The Devil's Rejects" has now cast Danny Trejo, who will reprise his role as Rondo from the original film. Now, all we need is Diamond Dallas Page‘s Billy Ray Snapper and we're set for an epic adventure.
"3 From Hell" is set for release later this year.
