Captain Spaulding in Prison in First Shot of Sid Haig from Rob Zombie’s ‘3 from Hell’!
Just last night, Rob Zombie shared the very first photos of Bill Moseley and Sheri Moon Zombie from his upcoming 3 from Hell, a sequel to The Devil’s Rejects, with the photos seeming to suggest that Otis and Baby actually didn’t die in the shootout seen at the end of Rejects, but rather were taken into custody and put on trial.
What about Captain Spaulding, you ask? Well, he’s in prison right alongside them, as Zombie just shared our first photo of Sid Haig in 3 from Hell this morning!
Zombie also shared our first look at Jeff Daniel Phillips (The Lords of Salem) as Warden Virgil Dallas Harper. Check out both new sneak peeks below.
The cast also includes Danny Trejo, Clint Howard, Daniel Roebuck, David Ury, Pancho Moler, Sean Whalen, Kevin Jackson, Austin Stoker, Dee Wallace, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Richard Brake, Bill Oberst Jr., Richard Riehle, Dot-Marie Jones and Tom Papa.
Hollywood is serious about landing the next Backrooms. Hot on the heels of a Siren Head feature announcement, Deadline reports that a new movie based on viral YouTube series The Mandela Catalogue is in development.
It also has some Hollywood heavy hitters behind it.
Amblin Entertainment’s Steven Spielberg, United Artists’ Scott Stuber (Frankenstein), and Amazon MGM Studios are set to produce, emerging victorious after a highly competitive 11-studio bidding war.
Launched in 2021, the YouTube series is set in the fictional Mandela County, Wisconsin which is “invaded by shape-shifting, nearly immortal creatures called Alternates. The Alternates are led by a false depiction of the Archangel Gabriel and their aim is to wipe out the human race by psychologically torturing them to the point of suicide. The Alternates are known for manipulating AV media, TVs, computers and GPS systems.”
The movie will be directed by the series’ creator, Alex Kister, based on a screenplay he adapted with Tyler Clifton.
The Mandela Catalogue has racked up an impressive 100 million views across its official episodes alone, solidifying it as one of the largest original analog horror franchises on YouTube.
Spielberg and Holly Bario are producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside Aaron B. Koontz for Paper Street Pictures and Stuber and Nick Nesbitt for United Artists. Kister and Clifton are also producing. Annie McCreery will oversee the project for United Artists. Maria Fortese will oversee for Amblin.
