Having switched distribution companies, moving over to Saban Films from Alchemy, Rob Zombie's latest directorial effort 31 is getting closer and closer to be being released into the world. Zombie has said that a trailer for the movie will be hitting the internet next Tuesday, June 14th, and ahead of that exciting step forward the musician/filmmaker has unveiled 31's new teaser poster, which can be seen below.
31 stars Sheri Moon Zombie, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Pancho Moler, Lew Temple, Malcolm McDowell, Meg Foster, Judy Geeson, Jane Carr, Ginger Lynn, Daniel Roebuck, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, Tracy Walter, E.G. Daily, Torsten Voges, David Ury, Bari Suzuki, Devin Sidell, and Kevin Jackson, with Richard Brake as Doom-Head, a character Zombie has predicted will be the "next great villain of horror".
The story
follows five carnival workers who are kidnapped the night before Halloween and held hostage in a large secret compound known as Murder World. Once there, they have 12 hours to survive a terrifying game called 31 in which “The Heads” – murderous maniacs dressed as clowns – are released to hunt them down and kill them.
Our own Chris Bumbray was lucky enough to see 31 at Sundance and gave the film a 7/10 review.
