Writer-director Rob Zombie is hard at work finishing up his new Firefly Family fright flick3 from Hell, and the man is all over Instagram posting pics as he works on the film’s final stage of post-production, sound-mixing. In fact, it looks like Zombie is posting a new pic from the flick for every single day of the process. So far the new looks include Sheri Moon Zombie as Vera-Ellen “Baby” Firefly, Richard Brake as Winslow Foxworth Coltrane, and Jeffrey Daniel Phillips as Warden Virgil Dallas Harper. Along withStrange Days,Super Mario Bros.,Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, andDo the Right Thingactor Richard Edson andBattle for the Planet of the ApesandAssault on Precinct 13actor Austin Stoker in currently unnamed roles.
Not only that, butRob Zombielet us all know via these new posts that sound-mixing for3 from Hellis being handled by a triple Academy Award winner who has mixed everything fromStar WarstoInglourious Basterds! After a bit of digging, I can only assume Zombie is talking about Michael Minkler who, yes, worked on Quentin Tarantino’sInglourious Basterdsand George Lucas’s originalStar Warsback in 1977. The three Academy Awards Minkler has won that Zombie mentions were for Bill Condon’sDreamgirls, Rob Marshall’sChicago, and Ridley Scott’sBlack Hawk Down. So, yeah, I think it’s safe to sayThree from Hellis being worked on by Michael Minkler.
In addition to the cast named above, Rob Zombie’s3 from Hellalso stars Sid Haig as Captain Spaulding,Bill Moseley as Otis B. Driftwood, Danny Trejo as Rondo, Dee Wallace as Greta, Daniel Roebuck as Morris Green, Pancho Moler as Sebastian, and Bill Oberst Jr. as Tony Commando. They are joined by Wade Williams, Emilio Rivera, David Ury, Tom Papa, and Clint Howard as Mr. Baggy Britches. Kevin Jackson also stars as Gerard James alongside Sylvia Jefferies as Heather Starship Galen, Billy Blair as Garbage Man, Duane Whitaker as Dr. Bankhead, and Jan Hoag as Betty Lou. Dot-Marie Jones, Sean Whalen, and Richard Riehle have unspecified roles.

The other two films include 2003’sHouse of 1000 Corpsesstarring Haig, Moseley, and Moon alongside Karen Black, Rainn Wilson, Walton Goggins, and Tom Towles.
