Clint Howard Playing Clown “Mr. Baggy Britches” In Rob Zombie’s ‘3 From Hell’!
Just yesterday, Rob Zombie teased the introduction of a new clown, “Mr. Baggy Britches”, in his now-filming 3 From Hell. I thought he looked a lot like Irwin Keyes‘ House of 1,000 Corpses character, Ravelli, who was seen in the opening of the film taking down a duo of local robbers alongside Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig). On the other hand, John Squires felt he looked more like Clint Howard, who appeared in Zombie’s Halloween, The Lords of Salem and even El Superbeasto. Squires has won that gentleman’s bet with Zombie confirming this morning that Howard will be portraying “Mr. Baggy Britches” in the House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects sequel, which also boasts the return of Otis (Bill Moseley) and Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie). Yes, there will be two killer clowns in 3 From Hell…
Also starring is Austin Stoker (Assault on Precinct 13), Dee Wallace (E.T., The Howling, and Cujo), Jeff Daniel Phillips (Uncle Seymour Coffins in Zombie’s Halloween 2). Zombie also added another regular to his 3 From Hell cast, revealing the addition of Daniel Roebuck, who will be reprising his The Devil’s Rejects role of Morris Green, Ruggsville’s favorite TV personality.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
