After four days of shooting, Rob Zombie has released the first picture from LORDS OF SALEM. This behind the scenes picture features Zombie with star Maria Conchita Alonso and Bruce Davidson. Now you’re probably thinking, ‘wait Bruce Davidson wasn’t one of the casting announcements’ and you’d be correct, he wasn’t.
Zombie simply placed the caption Here’s a pic from Day 3 of shooting on THE LORDS OF SALEM. RZ, Maria Conchita Alonso and Bruce Davidson. More on Bruce’s involvement later. That certainly seems like Davidson has some kind of role in the film, and we’ll be sure to find out sooner rather than later. He feels like a good fit for the Zombie-verse, and I am looking forward to hearing more about his role.
Heidi, a blonde rock chick, DJs at a local radio station, and together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster) forms part of the “Big H Radio Team”.
A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, “a gift from the Lords”. She assumes it’s a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords’ record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.
Later Whitey plays the Lords’ record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with listeners.
The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H Team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon Heidi and her cohorts find that the gig is far from the rock spectacle they’re expecting: the original Lords of Salem are returning, and they’re out for BLOOD.
The specular cast includes Ken Foree, Billy Drago, Richard Lynch, John Five, Lisa Marie, Maria Conchita Alonso, Dee Wallace, Sheri Moon Zombie, Meg Foster, Ernest Thomas, Barbara Crampton and Jeff Daniel Phillips.
Maria Conchita Alonso, not afraid to rock the see through dress!
