Rob Zombie will write, direct and produce “Broad Street Bullies,” a film about the mid-1970's Stanley Cup winning Flyers, reports Deadline.com. Zombie, the former White Zombie
musician who became a successful horror filmmaker with “House Of 1000
Corpses” and “Halloween,” tells the website that he has the rights to
the Flyers story and the full support of the Flyers organization. “The backdrop of the turbulent year
of 1974 is perfect for this ‘stranger than fiction’ sports tale,” Zombie
told Deadline.com’s Mike Fleming. “The great Rob Zombie making a drama
feature film about the Broad Street Bullies is exciting and thrilling
for all of us! I look forward to seeing it,” said Flyers great and team
exec Bobby Clarke when contacted by Deadline.com. Last year HBO debuted an
hourlong documentary film also using the "Broad Street Bullies" name.
