The reboot of the horror family at 1313 Mockingbird lane stars Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman Munster, Sherri Moon Zombie as Lily, and Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa. Of course, it has been directed and written by Rob Zombie. The movie which will be in color and not black and white like the original television show has raised some eyebrows.
Zombie tells Entertainment Weekly,
“I knew that if I went in and demanded ‘This movie’s going to be in black and white or forget it!’ we would not be talking about the Munsters right now, because it would have never happened. I guaran-f—ing-tee it. But what I did do is I made the colors sort of hyper-real. I noticed when the actors were in their makeup and they were just walking around, getting lunch or whatever, they looked like cartoon characters come to life. They were just so insanely colorful. I was like, I have to light the movie in the same fashion. It really seemed at all times like a live action cartoon, which was really exciting.”
The movie will be released this fall.
