# Artsy Horror Films Rob Zombie's “Tyrannosaurus Rex” to Heads Into Production By Alissa July | Published 2009-02-16 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-rob-zombie-film-to-be-released-this-august References: [imdb](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185408/) & [bloody-disgusting](http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/11345) For those of us who cannot resist a great [artsy horror flick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-halloween-event), Rob Zombie, the musician/ screenwriter/ director/ producer/ [clothing designer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1) is a household name. If you loved “House of 1,000 Corpses” like me, and loved “The Devil’s Rejects” even more, like me (and yeah, “Halloween” was okay), beware! Rob Zombie is gearing up to direct a new movie, “Tyrannosaurus Rex." It will not be the sequel to “Halloween,” and thankfully will feature Zombie’s wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, as is his custom. “Tyrannosaurus Rex” is supposed to go into production this August 2009. Rumors suggest it will be about a biker gang from hell, based on a comic book Zombie created with Steve Niles called *The Nail*. However, in a MySpace post, Zombie claims he hasn’t told anyone what the film is about yet. The teaser poster is eclectically mysterious. It features a burly tattooed man wearing only ripped bell bottoms and wielding two guns. An obvious portrayal of Sheri Moon’s character kneels to his left (she’s pretty much naked, as usual, but who’s complaining?). With a [fiery T-Rex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urwerk-ur101-trex), a 70’s inspired floor pattern and a pick-up truck in the background, the film seems to have potential. Any other thoughts about the plot line? Take a peek at the poster and feel free to comment below! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artsy Horror Films:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with musicians, screenwriters, and directors to create unique and visually stunning horror movies with artistic elements. - **Biker Gang Movies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the untapped potential of biker gang-themed movies by incorporating elements of horror and supernatural themes. - **Comic Book Adaptations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Capitalize on the popularity of comic books by adapting them into compelling and visually striking films that cater to a niche audience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Film and Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace unconventional storytelling techniques, experimental visuals, and unique collaborations to redefine the horror genre within the film industry. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with renowned artists, musicians, and filmmakers to launch exclusive clothing lines inspired by artsy horror films, targeting a niche market of horror enthusiasts. - **Publishing and Comics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Foster partnerships between comic book creators and filmmakers to adapt graphic novels into visually captivating horror movies, attracting a dedicated fan base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [80s-Based Horror Trilogies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxxxine.md) - [Horror Movie-Inspired Popcorn Buckets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-coffin.md) - [Year-Round Horror-Inspired Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-horror-unleashed.md) - [Horror-Themed QSR Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-in-the-box-feeding-time.md) - [Spooky Scream King Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macabre-spirits.md) - [Horror-Themed Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-stays-club.md) - [Gruesome Horror Film Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-bubbles-soap.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horrific-crocs.md) - [Grotesque Halloween Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-pizza-campaign.md)
