But three weeks out from shooting, I got a call from Sid Haig.
Im like, holy sh, this is a serious business.
Because Sid, hes big and burly, and now hes tiny as a skeleton.
So, I was like, oh man.
I kind of realized, yeah, hes in rough shape.
So, at that point I was kind of fed.
I created this charter Foxy for Richard Brake.
I had just worked with Richard on a movie called31and I knew he would fit the vibe.
He was on another movie in Spain shooting.
He flew right from that movie to L.A. and started working instantly.
But at the end of the day, it all worked out great.
Zombie was still determined that genre favorite Haig appear in the film.
I knew it wassoimportant he be part of the movie, says Zombie.
Lionsgate was fine with me sort of sneaking him in one day to shoot as much as I could.
It was on me to confirm that nothing went wrong.
So I got him in, I shot everything I could shoot.
Dee Wallace, I love this is like the fourth time weve worked together, says Zombie.
I knew she would be great playing against punch in as the evil, wicked prison guard.
When I first sent her the script she was like, I dont know if I can do this.
Then she called me back the next day and she was like, Im in.
Shes alwaysnicein movies and I wanted her to be super shty in this movie.
And she was great.
Its probably the end, he says.
End of the road.
