Writer-director Rob Zombie's much-anticipated third (and final?) chapter in his Firefly Family saga, THREE FROM HELL started out in 2003 with HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES and then seemingly ended with 2007's THE DEVIL'S REJECTS. And today we have word that a trailer is headed our way sooner rather than later. Zombie himself took to Facebook to let us all know:
A THREE FROM HELL UPDATE. As you now may have heard we finally received our R Rating. This was a very long process and threw us a couple of months behind schedule. It's a drag to be sure, but that the way it goes. Anyway, that is the reason you haven't seen a trailer yet. We are currently working on a trailer and hope to get it out in the world ASAP. I know it seems like you've been waiting forever, well I've been working on this film every day for the last two years so trust me I know how you feel. Actually, my first conversations with Lionsgate about doing this movie began over three years ago. It's been a long and wild ride but it's all been worth it. I'm sure you will agree once you get to see 3 From Hell in all its bloody glory splashed across the big screen. Hang in there.
Zombie also shared two new images with us as well. The first features Danny Trejo as Rondo Chavez (see above) and the second features good old Sid Haig as Captain Spaulding (see below). The flick has officially been slapped with an R-rating for "strong sadistic violence, language throughout, sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use." The last time we saw the Firefly Family was in THE DEVIL'S REJECTS which began:
After a raid on the rural home of the psychopathic Firefly family, two members of the clan, Otis (Bill Moseley) and Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), manage to flee the scene. Heading to a remote desert motel, the killers reunite with Baby's father, Capt. Spaulding (Sid Haig), who is equally demented and intent on maintaining their murder spree. While the trio continues to torment and kill various victims, the vengeful Sheriff Wydell (William Forsythe) slowly closes in on them.
While we don't know much about what THREE FROM HELL is about specifically, we do know that Baby Firefly (Sheri Moon Zombie), Otis B. Driftwood (Bill Moseley), and Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) will be returning along with THE DEVIL'S REJECTS co-stars Danny Trejo as Rondo and Daniel Roebuck as Morris Green. Plus new additions Clint Howard, Richard Brake, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Emilio Rivera, David Ury, Dee Wallace, Pancho Moler, Austin Stoker, Tom Papa, Dot-Marie Jones, Richard Edson, Richard Riehle, Kevin Jackson, Billy Blair, Steven Michael Quezada, Bill Oberst Jr., Sylvia Jefferies, and Sean Whalen. And let's not forget the series of "bizarre cameos" Zombie promised including Barry Bostwick and Chaz Bono.
THREE FROM HELL is "almost finished." Lionsgate and Saban Films expect to release the flick in the early fall — September vicinity.
