Movies Online Exclusive Interview with Rob Zombie

Movies Online's THE DUDE, was recently able to score an exclusive interview with the man himself.. Rob Zombie.  

So without wasting anymore of your time.. here's the intro (as well as a taste of the interview).. it's hilarious, as well as informative.

Hey folks out there in the internet movie fan land! It's your favorite and mine, The Dude here, with another one of my fascinating interviews. This time, the victim is none other than Rob Zombie, noted musician and filmmaker, whose second feature The Devil's Rejects comes out on DVD this week in a regular theatrical cut as well as a 2 disc Unrated Director's Cut, which I know you movie fans will be picking up because it really will be far superior.

I'm a big fan of the flick (Search the archives for my review) as well as a fan of the man's music from back in my awkward years as a high school student. I know, it's tough to believe that I was ever awkward, but it's true. 

Enough of my rambling, let's hear what Rob Zombie has to say. (Told in typical fashion by The Dude). Thanks to some of you readers who emailed in some questions, and without further ado, ye interview. A quick disclaimer. This interview is about a horror, thriller flick and some of the language is profane and not suitable for the young uns. So consider this interview rated R.

(Phone Rings a minute, then someone picks up)

The Dude: ROB ZOMBIE YOU ARE A GOD AMONG MEN AND I DON'T DESERVE TO SPEAK WITH YOU BUT THANK YOU!! I BOW BEFORE YOU!!!

Other Line: I think you have the wrong number.

The Dude: Oh, this isn't 323-(Number deleted)

Other Line: No, this is 323-(Number deleted, but it was different.

The Dude: Oh. My bad. I thought this was Rob Zombie.

Other Line: It's not, sorry.

The Dude: Well, have you seen Devil's Rejects? That movie kicks a supreme amount of ass.

Other Line: Please don't call me again.

(At this point, I hang up and dial the correct number. Moments later, I am connected with the man. After a few moments of me gushing over how much the movie kicked ass, I regain my focus and begin the interview)

The Dude: So, I'm a big fan, I think the movie is fantastic. I believe in my review I said "It has balls!"

Rob Zombie: Thank you.

The Dude: Do you find there has been a lot of resistance to your filmmaking career because of your musical background? I mean, sometimes filmmakers look down their noses at people who have been in other fields who suddenly feel that they can make a movie...

Rob Zombie: Yeah, I know what you're saying. I think that it was the case definitely with the first film (House of 1000 Corpses), and maybe even with the second film until people actually SAW the second film. But the response to Devil's Rejects has been so positive, that vibe has now gone away. People responded to the creative aspects of Rejects so strongly, that any kind of studio executive or even other filmmakers don't feel that I'm just "dabbling" in their world.
