Rob Zombie continues to keep fans updated on the progress for his upcoming reboot of “The Munsters.” Earlier this year, Zombie announced that legendary horror actress Cassandra Peterson, best known as “Elvira Mistress of the Dark,” had been cast in the film as real estate agent Barbara Carr. He also announced that Jorge Garcia, most well known for playing Hugo Reyes in the ABC drama series, “Lost,” would star as Floop, Dr. Wolfgang’s assistant and Herman Munster’s best friend. Dee Wallace is also part of the cast starring as the host of “Good Morning Transylvania.” Zombie announced earlier this week that Pat Priest will star as Marilyn Munster. Priest portrayed Marilyn on the 1960s series after original actress, Beverley Owen, left after 13 episodes. “So many of you have been asking…. “What about Marilyn?” Well, here she is! PAT PRIEST is now officially part of the new MUNSTERS movie. For once the rumors are true.”

The original Eddie Munster, Butch Patrick, also shared new details on the movie’s length in an interview with the 20TIMinutes podcast. “This movie is going to kill in a really good way. It’s a very long movie, it’s like 2 hours and 38 minutes … but I’ve seen footage and I’ve seen where he’s going with it and it’s going to be great, it really is.”

A release date has yet to be announced, but it appears the film is coming soon. It will also be rated “PG.” Jeff Daniel Phillips is playing Herman Munster and Sheri Moon Zombie is playing Lily Munster, with Daniel Roebuck co-starring as Grandpa Munster. Richard Brake (“31”, “3 from Hell”) is playing Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang. Catherine Schell (“Space: 1999,” “The Return of the Pink Panther)” is playing “Zoya Krupp the gypsy queen.” Zombie is directing the film for Universal Home Entertainment, and it’s been speculated that “The Munsters” may be a Peacock exclusive.
