   Bill Zebub is always writing, shooting, and editing movies.  Below are some of the movies that are in active development. 

 

VIXEN OF VIRTUE: This is Bill Zebub's first superhero movie, well, super "heroine" actually.  Bill Zebub has absolutely no interest in comics or superhero stories, but this is a genre that seems extra vulnerable to the kinds of absurd ideas that Bill Zebub dreams up. 

 

ASSHOLE : The title will surely have to change, but this is Bill Zebub's hidden-camera and/or public pranks volume.  Bill Zebub actually started with public pranks, hidden camera, and other material that seems to have taken off for some people.  The reason why Bill Zebub stopped filming this kind of stuff was because he considered skits and movies to be far more challenging.  This collection of bizarre antics has "fun" as the motivator, not money.  So don't expect this to be on TV or in the movies.  But you might see this stuff at parties.

 

 FRANKENSTEIN'S CREATURE OF SORROW: Bill Zebub considers "Frankenstein" to be the most heart-wrenching story ever written.  He never understood why no movie has ever been true to the essence of the book.  Even the movie that is called "MARY SHELLEY's" Frankenstein, with Robert DeNiro, was only 5% of the story, at best.

   Bill Zebub was smart enough not to attempt making this movie before he had acquired enough skill.  He has flirted with emotionally-charged scenes in movies like "Night of the Pumpkin" and has been rewarded with compliments from viewers. 

   He has studied the story for years and has developed many unique interpretations. These will be discussed in a director's commentary after the movie has been finished (some of Bill Zebub's concepts have been stolen by unscrupulous writers/TV shows, so he tries to keep ideas secret until they have been copyrighted - he will reveal some of the thieves in an upcoming documentary)

   One thing that can be revealed is that the story will be set in modern times.  Bill Zebub believes that if Mary Shelley were alive today, she would have set the story in modern times.  This will not ruin the rich dialogue.  Almost every word, culled with the choicest art, will be preserved.  The reason why the characters will speak so poetically is because they will all be foreigners.  You may have noticed that people who learn English in other countries speak with almost no slang for a couple of years, before they are tainted by natives.  They learn Oxford English abroad, and they speak in pristine grammar for a few years. 

    Ida Barklund, from "Rap Sucks" has been offered the role of Elizabeth.  She is from Sweden.  Ida is the first actress whom Bill has met who perfectly captures all of Elizabeth's qualities. 

   If you only know Frankenstein from Hollywood then you have missed the most powerful tale ever written.  The monster was not a retarded, mute, zombie.  He was agile and eloquent.  He learned French, the German.  He read Milton's "Paradise Lost". Goethe's "Sorrows of Young Werther", and works of Plutarch.  Have you ever heard him, in a movie, say, "Accursed creator!  Why did you form a monster so hideous that even YOU turn from me in disgust?"  The poor creature could not understand why it was endowed with feelings if it was made so ugly.  (but of course, the aim was to make a beautiful species - but something went wrong).

   This movie will be made purely for art.  Bill Zebub hopes to use this movie as a sort of demo, to show what can be done with the story, and then to re-make it with a proper budget.  It is a departure from anything he has ever done. 

 

THE REAVING OF ISABELLE: The base script was finished in 2003 and was to star Isabelle Stephen and Catherine Daly, but there was an event at the Canadian border that put the movie on hold (both actresses are Canadian - one of them no longer wished to come to America because of it).  Bill Zebub would have had to shoot in Canada - something that he was not prepared to do at the time.

   In 2005 Bill Zebub attempted to bring the script to the screen when he shot for five full days, back-to-back.  The shooting was plagued with disaster, and perhaps only 20% of the story was filmed.  The other material that was shot was a sudden re-write that was done overnight while the actresses were sleeping,  It was released in a limited edition, and later re-edited (cut down to one hour) and offered as a limited edition re-edit.

   The story is one that Bill Zebub had promised to re-visit.  Since those early days he has discovered what can and can't be depicted on screen (and what should and shouldn't be seen). 

   The story needs to be indie because there should be no compromise about the sadness of the characters.  If any portion of that intensity were to be lessened then there would be no point in telling the tale.

   It seems that the tendency in American movies is to depict hardship with some sort of bubblegum ending, or an ending that is inspiring.  This is rather weak-minded.  Heroic triumph is a rare thing, but it is shown as something common and attainable by all.  It is more mature to show tragedy, as a warning, and as a way to make people stop crying over frivilous annoyances.  There are events for which real tears should flow.   This movie will show such events.

  

HOLOCAUST CANNIBAL:

This was originally just a joke title, but after Bill Zebub talked to fans of cannibal movies, he realized that he could make something called "Holocaust Cannibal" work very nicely. 

   Yes, it is set in a concentration camp during World War 2, but the story doesn't push the buttons that you think it does. 

   It has the criteria for a cannibal movie, but it's comedy-horror.  More info to come.

 

JESUS, THE DAUGHTER OF GOD (Quantum Leap of Faith): This is the story of a gogo dancer who quantum-leaps into the body of Jesus.  Viewers will see her, but the people around her will see Jesus.

   Although this seems like a high-tech movie, the effects are going to be just barely what will be needed for the story.  The movie is about the irreverant content and oddball humor.  "Irreverant" doesn't mean "mindless" - the humor has meaning and depth.

 

SESAME STREET MONSTRITY (A.K.A. Nightmare on Elmo's Street): This parody is about muppets who no longer feel the need to maintain the illusion that they can live side-by-side with humans.  Muppets that have "monster" in their names were never feared because they displayed friendly or harmless characteristics.  But they ARE monsters.  Cloth-based life forms cannot be subservient to carbon-based life forms too much longer. 

 

THE EARLY SKITS OF BILL ZEBUB:  This limited edition DVD will contain not only skits, but also some of the public stunts that Bill Zebub liked to film in the early days.  This footage is probably only of interest to die-hard fans of Bill Zebub. 

    When Bill Zebub shot this footage, he had no idea that he would ever make movies that are sold in stores, or mentioned in magazines.  This was done purely for enjoyment and to revel in creativity.  Over time he made collections of skits available on VHS (dubbed from one VCR to another) and sold them on consignment in local shops. 

   This collection will contain the 8mm footage, the VHS camera stuff (wow, what an upgrade), and then the digital miniDV stuff.  Each DVD will be hand-numbered by Bill Zebub.  If you are a long-time fan of his work, Email him to let him know what footage you think should DEFINITELY be contained in this release.

 

THE CHEESIEST SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE EVER MADE: Bill Zebub had wanted to make this movie after he finished making "The Worst Horror Movie Ever Made" but he had to commit to other projects.  It looks like 2011 will be the year when he finally gets to have fun making this aburd movie.

   If you like seeing the strings that hold a flying saucer model in the air then you may be the kind of person who will enjoy this extremely fun-to-make movie.  Lots of cheesiness is planned, like cardboard robots, pretentious dialogue, pompous symbolism, huge amounts of nudity, and fictionalized reality - the new genre will be called "SCIENCELESS FICTION"

 

RAPED BY A RAPIST: This isn't what the titles sounds like. It's a spoof about the making of a sleaze movie.  In 2006 Bill Zebub shot a comedy about the making of a horror movie, and this was titled "ASSMONSTER" - a title that gave a lot of would-be viewers the wrong idea, but that didn't stop the movie from playing at the Fantasia Film Festival as well as the Hollywood Film Festival. 

No, this isn't the same story applied to a different genre.  Or is it?

 

THE SNOWMAN WALKS OUT OF WINTER: : This is an art house concept about a mentally ill woman who sees visions in a mirror - of a snowman who cannot deal with the melting away of his mate and who has declared war upon the seasons.

 

FANZINE EDITOR: This movie is loosely based on the rise of Bill Zebub's magazine, "The Grimoire of Exalted Deeds."  Some may say that it glorifies the retardation.  In somre respects this is true, but Bill Zebub is more interested in aspects of fanzines that will never be known again.  Consider it to be an interesting look at an era that has changed, filled with comedic moments that may seem preposterous, but those who were there know them to be true.

 

SURREAL SICKO: The reaction to the surreal re-edit of JESUS CHRISTL: SERIAL RAPIST has prompted Bill Zebub to re-examine other lost movies from the past, and in doing so, an idea sprung which is currently being developed.  It is hoped that this movie will be released by May 2012 at the latest, and possibly by March 2012.

 

DIRTBAGS:  This is the same edit as "Evil Never Felt So Good" which is currrently out of print.  The re-release will have at least 90 minutes of bonus footage, including an interview with PETER STEELE (different than the bonus interview in RAP SUCKS). 

 

LOVE ME OR I WLL KILL YOU: Bill Zebub does not like to depict serial killers as alpha males, as was best shown in BREAKING HER WILL.  This time around the story centers on a killer who forces his victims to speak and act according to scripts that were written by him.  More cannot be revealed at this time.  To watch this movie is to enter madness.

Bands being selected for EXTREME METAL RETARDATION - Monday, February 06, 2012

 

Bill Zebub is trying to decide which bands to feature for METAL RETARDATION 2 (also known as EXTREME METAL RETARDATION).  So far, he has interviewed Arkona, Dimmu Borgir, Enslaved,  and Sharlee D'angelo (Mercyful Fate, Arch Enemy), and there are active plans to interview Turisas, Belphegor, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Huntress.  It may also be possible to add Opeth to that list, but that is not currently in the forecast. 

This offering of interviewing craziness will also include a chapter of non-retarded material, but this idea may possibly be considered retarded.  Bill Zebub may also add an out-of-print movie, like METALHEADS, as a bonus.  This also may be considered retarded.

More bands will be considered/added.   Keep your fingers upside-down crossed!

 
SURREAL SICKO almost completed - Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Within a week "Surreal Sicko" will be mastered, and the street date should fall some time around May.  This is the last of the "mood" horrors, at least for a while.  As with "Jesus Christ" Serial Rapist" this movie has no dialogue - it is completely experiental and shows horrific scenes in a beatiful way, combining unusual visuals with captivating audio.  Nothing is as it seems. 

 

Bill Zebub has been working on a non-horror experimental movie called "The Snowman Walks Out of Winter" and will continue to film it while he will work on other projects.  There is no expected deadline, other than "some time before the end of the year"

 

 

 
JESUS, THE DAUGHTER OF GOD begins active production - Tuesday, December 27, 2011

Bill Zebub will be filming this movie while he tackles other projects.  Most of this movie will be shot greenscreen, but don't expect 300, ha ha.  It's a fun movie that differs from "Jesus, the Total Douchebag" in a lot of ways.

 
DIRTBAGS re-release has been mastered - Wednesday, December 07, 2011

You may see the new artwork for the release of Dirtbags by clicking DIRTBAGS - the DVD will become available in April, but some retailers may get units in March.

 
Dirtbags Re-Issue has begun - Monday, November 28, 2011

Dirtbags is being re-released in March 2012.  Today, work began on the bonus material, chiefly the Peter Steele interview, which clocks in at 41 minutes.

 
Antfarm Dickhole DVD has been mastered - Sunday, August 07, 2011

 

The DVD master has been completed for Antfarm Dickhole, and will be sent off for replication tomorrow.  The retail version will contain ASSMONSTER as a bonus movie. There will be a limitied run of 1,000 DVD's that are just for the actors and actresses, and this will not contain the ASSMONSTER movie - instead, these versions will have bloopers and out-takes.

The reason why there will be no bloopers and out-takes in the retail version is because the material has been acquired for a documentary titled "King of the B Movies" (which is about Bill Zebub and his movies).

Street date for the retail version is in early November.

 
ANTFARM DICKHOLE has been completed - Monday, August 01, 2011

ANTFARM DICKHOLE wrapped up today.  There were two scenes in the original script that were not shot.  They are funny scenes, but they had to be removed. 

 
Production notes - Friday, July 15, 2011

   ANTFARM DICKHOLE has only three more scenes left to be shot.  Bill Zebub has begun the editing process.  He is going to consult with a distributor to see if it would be wise to prepare for a shop-friendly version of the film that would bear a less vulgar name, like "Ants in the Pants" or "Human Antfarm."  Bill Zebub will propose that the alternate title also be an alternate edit, with different bonus features as well.  The less vulgar title would wait 3-6 months before hitting the streets, in case retail outlets overlook the name of the movie in favor of offering their customers a hilarious movie. 

   JESUS CHRIST THE TOTAL DOUCHEBAG has begun active productions, with three scenes shot, and two more due by the end of July.  August will see minimal filming for this movie because of the oppressive summer heat, and also because the priority will be EDITING ANTFARM DICKHOLE and CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.
