This won’t be the primary time that The Blob has undergone a remake. In 1988, a model of the basic movie was launched to theaters. The Chuck Russell-directed endeavor starred Shawnee Smith (of the Saw franchise fame), Kevin Dillon, and Donovan Leitch. Though it’s now thought of one of many best horror/sci-fi remakes of all time, the movie was a field workplace flop, solely incomes a paltry $8.2 million in ticket gross sales towards a $10 million finances.

In 2009, musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie introduced he was going to supply his personal model of The Blob, however his remake by no means got here to fruition. Zombie quietly dropped the venture and went ahead as a substitute with Lords of Salem (2012).
