Rob Zombie dispels the rumour that he's directing the new Motley Crue film

by Ciaran Thompson

Rob Zombie’s previous films include House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil Rejects and two remakes of the classic horror film Halloween. Yesterday it was reported he would be directing a new Motley Crue film, but he has now confirmed to Undercover.fm that he has nothing to do with the project.

“I don’t know where that [rumor] came from,” he said regarding the story that was originally published on Billboard, which used a quote from drummer Tommy Lee saying Zombie was on board to direct the screen adaptation of the band’s memoir The Dirt.

Motley Crue released The Dirt – Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band in 2002. It was put together by Neil Strauss and documented the band’s antics in the ’80s and ’90s. [Gibson]
