The final days of legendary comedian Groucho Marx are set to be brought to the big screen by rock star and horror director Rob Zombie.
The film will be based on Steve Stoliar's memoir Raised Eyebrows: My Years Inside Groucho’s House, which tells the tale of Stoliar's two years living with Marx before the comedian died of pneumonia in 1977.
The film will be adapted for screen by Oren Moverman, who wrote new Brian Wilson biopic Love & Mercy.
Speaking to Deadline, Zombie said that he had been a huge Marx fan since childhood and that he "saw this project as Groucho’s Sunset Boulevard and knew I had to bring it to the big screen. It is a sad, funny and very dark tale of a one of Hollywood’s greatest star’s final years."
Zombie is currently working on 31, a horror film where five people are kidnapped on Halloween and placed in a lethal funhouse called Murder World where they are stalked by murderous clowns.
