New Photo From Rob Zombie's THE MUNSTERS Features Igor Played by Hobbit Actor Sylvester McCoy
Rob Zombie has released a new photo from his upcoming film adaptation of The Munsters, and it gives us a first look at the character Igor. Igor is played by Doctor Who and Hobbit actor Sylvester McCoy, and the character is described as "the faithful servant of the family."
I’m not really familiar with an Igor character from the original series, so maybe this is a new character being added to the story? There was a film made in 1981 titled, The Munsters' Revenge, that introduced Cousin Igor. Maybe this character is a version of that Igor, maybe not.
Sylvester McCoy joins the cast of Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman Munster, Sheri Moon Zombie as Lily Munster, and Dan Roebuck as Grandpa Munster.
The film follows a family of benign monsters who relocate from Transylvania to the American suburbs. I’m curious to see what Zombie delivers with this, but it looks like he’s managed nail the tone and style. He is a huge fan and is obviously looking to capture and honor the original 1960s series.
