Deadline broke some news last night that took a lot of people by surprise.  Rob Zombie noted for his horror movies like House of 1000 Corpses and Halloween is set to direct a movie about Groucho Marx.  Yes you read that right.  The horror director is branching out to the biopic.  

Zombie acquired the rights to Steve Stoliar's book "Raised Eyebrows" about the final years of Groucho Marx.  Zombie said he has been a life long fan of the funny man and based on the description of the book it sounds like it will make for an interesting transition out of the horror genre.  Zombie describes the story at "It is a sad, funny and very dark tale of a one of Hollywood’s greatest stars final years.” The book is an autobiographical story about how Stoliar became Marx's personal assistant in the comedians waning years and sometimes your dream job isn't always what you thought it would be.  The movie will be written by Oren Moverman who previously cowrote the screenplay to the Bob Dylan movie I'm Not There.  


What do you think? Will Zombie be a good fit for this project? Let us know.
