Rob Zombie has his eyes set on his next film and it will indeed find him moving away from the horror genre. He will direct a feature based on the final years of late comedian/actor Groucho Marx. In particular, the film will center on Steve Stoliar‘s memoir, ‘Raised Eyebrows: My Years Inside Groucho’s House‘. Stoliar served as a personal secretary to Marx during his declining years. Zombie told Deadline of his plans:
“I have been a huge Groucho Marx fan ever since I was a child and have read countless book on the comic legend, but after reading the book Raised Eyebrows, a totally new perspective on Groucho’s life emerged. I immediately saw this project as Groucho’s Sunset Boulevard and knew I had to bring it to the big screen. It is a sad, funny and very dark tale of a one of Hollywood’s greatest stars final years.”
Zombie‘s current project however is the upcoming horror film “31“, which is currently in post-production.
