I really shouldn't admit that I'm really anticipating this...

I think the fact that 2005 is slow for good movies, this one seems to shine.

Although History of Violence is looking good...

and critics have been saying the ending is one of the best in cinematic history.
which critics, and was the approval rating cos they recruited the pre-screening with his own fan club?

I can't find links to this right now (if I remember it was a sticky on the messageboards at http://www.d13satellite.com/devilsrejects/board/index.php?), and I don't have time to read through the 30 pages of threads right now. I'll try later, or take my word on it

You make it sound like a robot... and usually, scientists are proud of robots and people are amazed at the accomplishment.

old trailer is MUCH better than the new, but that's pretty common

Comic-Con 2005: The Devil's Rejects Panel
Devilish? Yes. Rejected? No.
 
The Devil's Rejects, the sequel to Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, was supported in full force by several of the cast here at San Diego Comic-Con. Writer-director Zombie led and dominated the discussion, though also on hand were cast members, Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, Ken Foree, Leslie Easterbrook, Priscilla Barnes, William Forsythe, and Matthew McGrory.

The first nine minutes of the film were screened, kicking off the panel. Censored for language as it was, it was still clear what we were witnessing was a film heavily influenced by horror and crime films of the 70s, with all of the gunfire and mayhem one would expect from Zombie.

The majority of House's cast return, though a notable exception is Karen Black, who was replaced by Easterbrook. According to Zombie, a deal with Black couldn't be reached and the film was going to happen whether certain cast members returned or not. As Haig mentioned, they did this second film "because it was fun and because there were a lot of live bodies left."

Zombie's music does not appear on the soundtrack for the film because, as he said, the film "takes place in 1978 and I did not." Composing music for the film was handled by Tyler Bates, lately of the Dawn of the Dead remake.

On the subject of the difficulties they had in bringing this film to the screen versus House, Zombie praised Lions Gate for being hands off in their approach to letting him do his film. The primary issue they had, it seems, was with the MPAA: it took eight edits to bring the film down from an NC-17 to an R. For those who might wish an unrated "director's cut" to hit DVD at some point in the future, don't hold your breath. Zombie cites a lack of time and energy to go back and make the unused footage ready for being included, and also implied that whatever audiences picture in their minds as missing from the film is probably better than what was actually left out.
