Rob Zombie Discusses how Kubrick, Polanski, and Ken Russell Helped Influence ‘THE LORDS OF SALEM’

It’s been exactly one month ago today since we first wrote about the trailer for The Lords of Salem leaking online via an audience member who witnessed it at a live concert.  So, why have we not seen an official trailer yet?  Watching the bootleg reveals the obvious sound issues and out of focus imagery that really prevents us from getting a clear look at the film.  Thankfully, some of the scenes can be seen giving us a peek at what Rob Zombie has in store for us.  When Andy and I discussed it on the podcast that week, I had mentioned that some of the imagery seemed to remind me of The Devils and Lair of the White Worm; two films from the late British director Ken Russell.  Artisan News recently caught up with the rocker turned director and got some info on what helped influence the visuals in The Lords of Salem.

 

“All the shots are very symmetrical and composed…  it just has this really grand approach to it. Which is really what I wanted to do. I couldn’t find a lot of movies that really had the look of what I was going for. All of the Stanley Kubrick films have that look and then the vibe of a lot of Roman Polanski’s films and then kind of the weirdness of Ken Russell’s movies, you know… If Ken Russell directed The Shining.”

 

The full video that lasts a little over three minutes can be seen below where Zombie talks a little more about his approach to the film and how the story came about.  One frustrating thing worth noting is that the clip ends with the announcer stating that the film will be released in late 2012 to early 2013.  I truly hope this might just be a case of reciting false information.  I’m not sure if I can wait till 2013 to see this film.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. The battle between these two worlds has finally ceased with his current position as Managing Editor for DestroyTheBrain.com. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.

    Caught LOS back in sep. at TIFF, he pretty much stole the worm on a cross scene from ‘lair of the white worm’. I’d say ken russel and Kubric are accurate comparisons.
