ROB ZOMBIE, ANTHRAX's Frank Bello To Hit Toronto International Film Festival
August 14, 2012, 12 years ago
ROB ZOMBIE and ANHRAX's Frank Bello are luminaries in the hard rock world. Everyone knows who they are. There's no question about their sphere of influence, either. However, the twosome are about to separately invade and enter the Toronto International Film Festival, which takes place September 3rd - 16th, for similar yet different film endeavors.
Rob Zombie's sixth feature film, The Lords Of Salem, will get its worldwide premiere at the festival. Zombie wrote, directed and produced it in tandem with the producers of the Paranormal Activity franchise. Filmed in Los Angeles and Salem, MA, The Lords Of Salem stars Patricia Quinn, Maria Conchita Alonso, Clint Howard, Dee Wallace and Billy Drago, and is, according to Zombie, "probably the bleakest of all my films, a long, slow decent into the bowels of Hell."
Anthrax bassist Frank Bello makes his feature film debut in the supporting role of punk rock legend Richard Hell in the biopic Greetings From Tim Buckley. The film stars Penn Badgley, Imogene Poots, William Sadler and UK pop star KATE NASH. Bello auditioned for the role on a Thursday, was cast on Friday and reported to the set the following Monday, the morning after Anthrax's big Yankee Stadium concert last September with The Big Four (METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH, Anthrax.)
