T-Rex = The Nail?

So we’ve all heard about Rob Zombie’s TYRANNOSAURUS REX. We’ve also known that it wasn’t about dinosaurs, but other than that, zilch. Well, Bloody Disgusting’s claiming they’ve got it figured out.

Supposedly, the film will be based on THE NAIL, a graphic-novel created by Zombie and Steve Niles (30 Days of Night). It sounds a bit like THE DEVIL’S REJECTS meets RACE WITH THE DEVIL (maybe it should be called “The Devil?”).

Here’s the synopsis they lay down: Hunted in one of the most desolate regions of America, preyed upon by an evil that does not sleep, Rex Hauser is The Nail – and it’s time he took a stand. A semi-pro wrestler, Hauser has been touring the country performing at small-time arenas until the fateful night he and his family run afoul of a bloodthirsty gang of Satanic bikers stalking the North Dakota Badlands. Now he’s a lone man fighting for the survival of his loved ones in a no-holds-barred standoff against the forces of Hell itself!

Hopefully we’ll get confirmation on this soon. As for now, you Zombie fans can find temporary comfort in the idea the rocker-turned-director is returning to the badlands of the road for more mayhem (and plentiful profanity, most likely).
