The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto

Emperor Morphetine · The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto

Another odd film coming soon- this time it's Rob Zombie's turn to crank the weirdness up! It's all based upon his original comic series featuring Mexican luchador hero El Superbeasto and his sidekick/sister Suzi X as they battle Dr Satan in Monsterland. I wish I could say I was making this up but its all true and what's more there are some big-name actors lined up for voice parts- Paul Giamatti is Dr Satan, Geoffrey Lewis is Lenny and Rosario Dawson is Velvet Von Black, amongst others. And apparently he's had various animators working with him to finish the project, which he's been working on for around three years. And now it's been confirmed for a September 22 'straight to video' release, with Zombie saying "[The Haunted World of El Superbeasto] is finished and in the can at this point, but its release has been delayed because of ownership and legal issues within the company that made the movie, Starz Media." In that same interview, Rob Zombie described the film as ""Awesome...this little tiny half-a-million dollar direct-to-video movie that expanded into this $10 million animated extravaganza. And it's awesome, but I don't have a release date yet. It's like an R-rated adult/monster/sex comedy. There's nothing really like it that I can think of. People always say like Ralph Bakshi's stuff, but...it's [more] like if SpongeBob and Scooby-Doo were filthy."

Sounds like a bit of a stylistic departure after his work on more mainstream horror movies like 'House of 1000 Corpses', 'The Devil's Rejects' and his remake of 'Halloween'- inidentally he has now signed up to direct a sequel which will be released later in the year.

What if SpongeBob and Scooby-Doo were filthy???

i don't know but i really want to see it

i hope there is some sexy female cartoon characters in it

.........don't look at me strangely now

we've all fancied cartoon ladies in the past...after all who didn't lust after Teela in He-man? or Jessica Rabbit or the Cadbury's Caramel bunny...or from scooby doo..... Daphine or Velma (those specs would be steamed up

) or for that matter who hasn't thought about rummaging in Betty Rubble's....erm..... rubble?? ahem

i think i have thought too much about this
erm back to the film ....it looks good definitely will be watching out for it now

It does sound like it could be interesting- seems he's focusing more on films now after his years with White Zombie and subsequent solo career, though I think he'll actually be making some original music for this film's soundtrack, unlike his previous ones where he's used other artists work and had other composers doing the main scores.
