ROB ZOMBIE's New Film 31To Premiere At 2016 Sundance Film Festival

Rob Zombie has announced that his new film, 31, will have it’s world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival in January.

“Welcome to my next film. It is called 31. It is the story of five random people kidnapped on the five days leading up to Halloween and held hostage in a place called Murder World,” Rob Zombie recently stated. “While trapped inside this man-made Hell they must fight to survive playing the most violent game known to man… a game called 31.

“31 has no rules. 31 has no boundaries. It is ever so simple. Do whatever you can do to kill your opponent before they kill you. Keep this up for 12 hours and freedom is yours. Who are the opponents? Well… a group of vile, filthy, blood-thirsty clowns known as The Heads. They come in all shapes and sizes and each grows nastier than the last.

“What kind of film is this you ask? It is a fast paced, mean dirty film for those who like it rough. Get ready for a sick piece of celluloid! This is some hardcore business for the blood-thirsty gore hounds.”

In an interview with Kory Grow of RollingStone.com, Rob Zombie admits to being uneasy at first with the idea of crowdfunding this movie. But that went away once he realized it was a quid-pro-quo tradeoff. The director has launched a campaign to fund his next movie 31, offering the sorts of rewards he knows his fans want. “People have come up to me over the years and asked, ‘How can I get these props?’ ‘How can I come to the set?’ So I realized a crowdfunding campaign is not a guy on a street corner with a hat asking for money.”
