Here’s why:
“I’ve always thought I’d like to make another movie, because I love the characters, and I have an idea I think is solid for a third one – an idea that would make sense. The problem is, I don’t own the characters now. They’re owned by Lionsgate, and they just don’t have any desire to do anything. So it isn’t me not doing it because I don’t want to; I don’t have the ability to get it done.”
The Devil’s Rejects, a follow-up to House of 1,000 Corpses, opened in the summer of 2005 and grossed an estimated $17 million for Lionsgate. Given the studio has been shifting gears away from fare like that and becoming more of “the house of Hunger Games,” it’s unlikely Lionsgate will be seeking more Firefly adventures.
Over the weekend, Zombie screened the film in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery as part of a Johnny Ramone Tribute Show.
