Well, this is surprising...

In a move that very few saw coming – Alchemy (formerly Millennium Entertainment) has acquired the rights to Rob Zombie’s upcoming feature, 31. Alchemy isn’t exactly known as a home for genre titles, especially genre titles that claim to be as “intense” as 31. Fear not though, as Zombie himself has said he is “thrilled to work with a company sharing the same vision for my film 31 as I have. Alchemy has committed to bringing the most intense experience possible to the screen.” So – take that for what it’s worth.
