The first official poster artwork for Rob Zombie's highly-anticipated fourth upcoming feature film Tyrannosaurus Rex has been unveiled. While Zombie has been relatively silent about the details on his forthcoming project other that stating that the film will have "nothing to do with dinosaurs," there are several things one could gleam from looking at the movie's poster which was done by artist Alex Horley. Let's analyze, shall we?

  • Based on the fact that Rob Zombie has casted his wife and actor Sheri Moon Zombie in all three of the three movies the rock musician turned filmmaker has directed (and due to the fact that the half-naked big breasted blonde woman wielding a revolver on the poster resembles Mrs. Zombie to a great degree) it's probably a safe to assume that Sheri Moon will star in Tyrannosaurus Rex.

  • Tyrannosaurus Rex will hit theaters sometime in 2009 as printed on the poster.

  • While it's unlikely that this will be a "horror film," Zombie always incorporates horror elements in all of his projects and is aware that much of his fanbase is from the horror community. You can be sure that this will be a movie that is created with the tastes of horror fans in mind.

  • The poster reflects some of the imagery used in Rob's previous film "The Devil's Rejects." There's a revolver, a shotgun, and AK - 47, and a handgun in the painting, so you can expect to see lots of action and bloodshed caused by gunfire.

  • Again, Zombie has said that there will be no Dinosaurs in his movie, but there is a clear image of what looks to be a mushroom cloud from an explosion in the shape of a T-Rex behind the film's three characters. It looks at though the character in center of the three who's dual-wielding firearms is the main character, and if that's the case, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the largest carnivorous dinosaur there ever was, possibly has something to do with the handle-bar mustached character's personality.

  • In our book, there's only one actor who could play the angry long-haired dude and that's Danny Trejo. Thoughts?

This poster kicks too much ass! The cloudy T-Rex head at the top doesn't entirely rule out the presence of dinosaurs, as Zombie previously claimed there would NOT be. BTW, there's no doubt in my mind that is Mr. Trejo!

Oh, and as longs as Zombie brings back Sid Haig and Bill Moseley I could care less if the film has actual dinosaurs. Groovy colors though maaaaaan!

If that is Danny Trejo this movie will become an instant clssic for me. The fact that Rob Zombie is directing also makes me think I will like it.

Zombie likes his westerns...So you'll see some of that here.

Hell yeah. I've been saying since the first time I saw Danny Trejo that he's the scariest looking actor in the history of Hollywood (in a good way) and someone needs to give this crazy Mexican a leading role already. Looks like this could be it!

Danny Trejo is starring in "Machete" next year. Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino stuff...Pretty excited for that.

Looks badass! I agree with blood bather about the possibility of featuring dinos isn't entirely ruled out. Sometimes filmmakers say one thing when they know damn well that the truth is the opposite of what they're sayin.

Hate me if you must but I think Zombie is one of the most overrated directors ever. I'll probably see it any way, especially if that is Trejo.

I think you're right that it's safe to say that Sheri Moon must be the big boobied blond in the poster. I hope so, she is gorgeous!

I absolutely love Rob Zombie, he is one of my favorite directors of my time. To me, none of his movies have failed. I even liked his Halloween remake wayyy better than the original, and I'm not ashamed to say it. As for the movie poster.. Sherri Moon, Danny Trejo, and... Ken Foree? (I can only hope). BTW what ever happened to El Superbeasto?

yet another "homage" film from rob zombie. Is this guy ever going to do anything new and/or original? Totally over hyped director. I actually paid to see his previous features in the theatre, what a rip off. Sorry but this guy is the worst director since eli roth. Why is it totally hack directors get so famous in the horror genre? There's all kinds of great horror coming out from France but I doubt most people (including myself) know the names of most of em.
