Rob Zombie Talks Broad Street Bullies Era Philadelphia Flyers Project

You may remember Rob Zombie from such musical misadventures as Dragula and Living Dead Girl or such terrifying and unsettling films as Halloween and Devil's Rejects; but now he is taking on legendary sports franchises.

The multi-talented artist has just finished a script focusing on the 1970's Philadelphia known as the "Broadstreet Bullies". They were just as hated as the Yankees of the 90's or Patriots of this past decade but would punch you in the mouth if you said so, which they did constantly during their two Stanley Cup runs in 1974 and 1975.

COMINGSOON.NET has the exclusive.

"That [script] is finished. I just finished it. That was an epic battle because that was the first time I had to really research something. There's no fiction in it, it's all true. It was a year of research, my God, I read every f--king book and, obviously, the game ends with game 6 against the Bruins when they win the cup. I must have watched game 6 a thousand f--king times until I had it memorized. It's a pretty epic script. I was just in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago and all of those guys still go to every game. I was sitting in the box with Joe Watson and Bernie Parent. The Broadstreet Bullies still reign there. I got to get that movie right or they'll take me out and hang me."

"We had so many offers for it but we haven't taken one yet. It's funny because everybody was like 'Oh, a hockey movie, nobody's going to want it.' But as soon as we announced it, everyone came out of the woodwork. Everybody wanted to get involved. Nothing against horror movies and I don't mean this to sound any way, but no agent wants to put their client in a horror movie, nobody would take them seriously. But suddenly, with this type of movie, everyone is coming forward, which I wasn't prepared for."
