(Very minor spoilers after the jump.)<\/p>\n<p>\n<!--more-->Zombie signed on for <i>Miami<\/i> after a friend convinced him to give it a shot. &#8220;It is a bit of an odd pairing,&#8221; Zombie admitted to the <i>Star-Telegram<\/i>. &#8220;Five years ago, <b>Marco Black<\/b>, who was the first assistant director on <i>House of 1000 Corpses<\/i> and <i>The Devil&#8217;s Rejects<\/i>, went to work on <i>CSI<\/i> as a first [assistant director]. Now he&#8217;s one of the producers. Every year he would call and say, &#8216;You&#8217;ve got to direct an episode.&#8217; I could never fit their schedule into my schedule until this year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen he found the time to do an episode of <i>Miami<\/i>, Zombie wanted to make sure it didn&#8217;t go too far outside of the box. &#8220;I wanted to bring my vibe to the show, but I wanted to keep it true to <i>CSI<\/i> because obviously it has a huge fan base and a formula that people love,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;So there were little things where I deferred to someone on the show. Like, someone would ask: &#8216;OK, this person was stabbed. How much blood should we use?&#8217; I would go: &#8216;Oh, I don&#8217;t know. As much as you can for TV, I guess.&#8217; I was actually sort of amazed at some of the things I could get away with.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rocker-turned-director Rob Zombie put his own unique spin on the upcoming CSI: Miami episode &#8220;LA&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2907],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-csi-m"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rachel","author_link":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/author\/rachel\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/categories\/csi-m\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CSI: Miami<\/a>","tag_info":"CSI: Miami","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9169"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9172,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9169\/revisions\/9172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
