'Tyrannosaursus Rex' Concept Art Sadly Dinosplosion-Less


From iwatchstuff, Being a consummate artist and showman, Rob Zombie has remained tight-lipped on the plot of his next film, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and has denied the rumor it will be based on his comic, The Nail. In all likelihood, he's doing us a favor: if he were to tell us his raw, unrefined genius without first filtering it through the imperfections of film, it would probably blow our minds and/or sound like his music. So instead, he's started posting concept art to acclimate us to whatever Tyrannosaurus Rex may be.

The last peek he gave us came was this poster, which implied the movie would be about some badass '70s gang shooting people from a psychedelic bus while the shape of a dinosaur exploded behind them, which seems like a sound idea. Now there's this seemingly unrelated concept art, and I don't know what to think. In addition to being about dinosaur explosions, it's also like if Rob Zombie made a George Bellows painting more "X-treme"? I have no idea.

I found this on slashfilm,

“T-REX is about a wrestler named Tyrannosaurus Rex who is on the run from a biker gang from hell. Furthermore, the idea for the film is loosely based on the comic book Zombie did with Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) entitled THE NAIL.“
