Zombie is keeping fans updated regarding the movie's development. Earlier this week, the director dropped the first look at Lily Munster's werewolf brother named Lester (played by Tomas Boykin).
"The Munsters" is a reboot of a popular 1960 sitcom of the same name. The series originally aired on the CBS network, with the first episode dropping on Sept. 24, 1964.
Considering the original sitcom, it featured a family of four that was quite different. The father named Herman looked like Frankenstein's monster, while Lily and Grandpa were vampires. Herman and Lily shared a son, who looked like a werewolf.
As far as the upcoming reboot is concerned, Zombie has not revealed any details about its release date. Besides directing, he also penned the reboot. The first announcement of the project was made in March last year and the filming began in July.
On the personal front, Zombie is married to actress Sheri Moon Zombie, who is playing Lily in the movie.
