Rob Zombie's The Munster's Movie Will Release On Netflix
Rob Zombie's The Munsters movie will release on Netflix. Known for House of 1000 Corpses and the Halloween reboots, Zombie is directing and producing the new movie off a script he wrote himself. The Munsters serves as a prequel to the 1960s family sitcom of the same name, and it features a new cast as the titular family, with Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman, Sheri Moon Zombie as Lily, and Daniel Roebuck as The Count/Grandpa. Zombie is an ardent fan of the original comedy series, and he has been planning to adapt it for the big screen for the past 20 years, although it was only in 2021 that he officially began work on the movie. The Munsters had been filming in Budapest since last November, and earlier this month, it wrapped up production.
Throughout the development process, Zombie kept The Munsters fans in the loop about the film by sharing frequent updates on Instagram. On July 13, he finally shared a surprisingly colorful trailer for The Munsters, revealing the authentic plot elements, as well as a replicated Mockingbird Lane Mansion. The response to the trailer, however, was largely mixed, with some criticizing the style and the direction, while others defended the movie's faithfulness to the campy and dramatic tone of the source material. Initially, it was suggested that Universal was scouting a September release window for the movie, and now there is an update about the same.
