VIDEO The trailer for The Munsters hasn’t even come out yet, and fans of the original series are rushing to “get down” with Rob Zombie

By Michael Meyers

The trailer for Rob Zombie’s The Munsters was recently released, and some fans of the classic series seem to be less than convinced that the upcoming series will be what it should be.

Scheduled for a September 2022 release, the film is intended to be a prequel of sorts, but also a revival of the 1960s TV series of the same name, which ran for two seasons.

Rob Zombie’s new series follows the origin story of Herman and Lily Munster, as well as their ongoing love story. In the reboot, Sheri Moon Zombie stars as Lily, while Jeff Daniel Phillips can be seen as Herman. What’s more, Daniel Roebuck stars as the grandfather.

Rob Zombie and his wife, big fans of the original The Munsters series.

Rob Zombie has already made a name for himself in the horror film world, most notably for the Firefly trilogy and the 2007 reboot of Halloween. Despite the fact that Zombie and his wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, are big fans of the original The Munsters TV series, fans immediately expressed concern when they heard about Rob’s new idea, since the director already has a few flops under his belt.

Read:  HBO is facing a class action lawsuit over allegations that it provided Facebook with a history of unsolicited subscriber views. According to Variety, HBO is accused of providing Facebook with customer lists, allowing the social network to correlate viewing habits with their profiles. He also claims that HBO knows that Facebook can combine data because HBO is a major advertiser on Facebook, and Facebook can then use that information to redirect ads to its subscribers. Because HBO never received proper customer consent to do so, it is alleged that it violated the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), according to the lawsuit. HBO, like other sites, discloses to users that it (and its partners) use cookies to deliver personalized ads. However, VPPA requires separate consent from users to share their video viewing history. "A standard privacy policy will not be enough," he said. Other streaming providers have been hit by similar situations, and TikTok recently agreed to pay $ 92 million for a (partial) violation of the VPPA. In another case, however, a judge ruled in 2015 that Hulu did not knowingly share Facebook data, which could determine a person's viewing history. The law firm involved in the HBO lawsuit previously won a $ 50 million deal with Hearst after alleging that it violated Michigan's privacy laws by selling subscriber data.

However, when Zombie officially released the trailer for The Munsters, fan reactions were quick to follow, many of them met with skepticism. Fans of the original series alike have expressed concern about the style and direction The Munsters reboot seems to be taking, stating that the film seems made “cheap and even a parody of the source material.

On the other hand, Zombie continues to maintain that The Munsters is one of his pet projects, insinuating that it would be one of his masterpieces.

Naturally, we’re about to find out who’s right, come September.
