Paul Cashmere of Australia's Undercover News reports that filmmaker Eddie Martin is working on a movie about AC/DC legend Bon Scott.

The yet-to-be titled movie is in its early stages. "We've been working heavily on it for a couple of months. It's early days," Martin tells Undercover News. "We are in the writing process. We've been meeting with Gaby, Mary, Irene and THE VALENTINES crew, people like Vince Lovegrove, Bon's early friends." (Irene was Bon's former wife).

Eddie says he is still looking for people from the era who knew Bon. "It is at research stage," he says.

Rob Zombie Rumored to Direct Halloween 2

The Pulse of Radio reports that Rob Zombie is rumored to be directing the sequel to his hit 2007 remake of "Halloween", according to Shock Till You Drop. A source told the horror movie web site that following the departure of French directors Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo from the project, Zombie had agreed to step in again as director. A representative for Zombie had no comment on the matter, while the film's producers, Trancas International, planned to issue a press release regarding the movie before the end of this week.

"Halloween", a "re-imagining" of the 1978 horror classic, was Zombie's third film as a director and biggest hit yet, grossing $31 million in its opening weekend, more than his two previous films combined.

Zombie's next film was supposed to be "Tyrannosaurus Rex", about an aging wrestler battling a vicious motorcycle gang. But Zombie himself recently stated that he had not even written the script for the film yet.

More recently, Zombie has been recording his fourth studio album for a 2009 release and issued the song "War Zone" on the soundtrack of the new movie "Punisher: War Zone". The long-awaited boxed set from his previous band, WHITE ZOMBIE, called "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie", came out last week.

John Carpenter filmed his 1978 indie chiller on a $325,000 budget. The film made roughly $47 million at the domestic box office, and still ranks among the most impressive budget-to-box office ratios in history. Zombie's studio-approved "Halloween" cost about $20 million.

The three-disc unrated collector's edition DVD of Rob Zombie's "Halloween" hit stores nationwide on October 7. According to Rob, "The set contains an all-new four-and-a-half-hour documentary about the making of the film!"
