Ok here is the story... originally slated to come out spring 2000 from Universal. Rob Zombie is the director. Universal execs screened it and said tone down the gore or they wouldn't release it, Zombie said no way and got the rights back to the movie. He was shopping around for a distributor and 2001 MGM was interested, they watched it and that fell through. Lions Gate finally picked it up last year (Lions Gate is like Miramax in its early years) its scheduled to come out very soon There is an updated trailer but I can't remember the date it said.. May? How do I know all this stuff? I'm a projectionist and I've been following the movie since the very first Universal trailer during xmas of 1999 got quite a few complaints. I'm interested in watching it but if its just all gory like Mrfrog said then it probably wouldn't be worth it, if I wanted to see gore I would watch dead alive or story of ricky or something.
