Bruce Release Date and Sequel News!

Source:ShockTillYouDrop.com
June 25, 2008


ShockTillYouDrop.com attended the Saturn Awards on Tuesday night in Universal City, California and caught up with Dark Horse Comics' Mike Richardson, who told us that Bruce Campbell's My Name is Bruce will hit theaters this October.

"Some people maybe thought the film fell out or that there was something wrong with it," Richardson says, touching on Bruce's slow journey getting before wide audiences. It was roughly a year ago that it screened to CineVegas film fest attendees. "We did our shoot, put it in the can and the studio that financed it liked it so much they gave us more money to do a second shoot. We beefed it up so it could go into the theaters."

But that's not all! Richardson said that a sequel, titled My Name is Still Bruce, is in the works as well. Dark Horse Entertainment and Image Entertainment will distribute both films.

In the first film, directed by Campbell from a script by Mark Verheiden, Campbell is mistaken for his character Ash from the "Evil Dead" trilogy and forced to fight a real monster in a small town in Oregon.

sweet. I love this concept.

This is a concept only Bruce could pull off. I just know it's going to be horrible, but for all the right reasons, and I can't wait!

I can't wait to see this movie, as for a sequel I'll believe it when I see Bubba Nosferatu.

I still think that they should do a new Evil dead movie. You can have a group of teens going to the old cabin in the woods for a little getaway. On there way they stop at s-mart for some supplies. Thats where they meet s-mart manager ASH, who warns them to "stay away from that cabin". Of course the teens go anyway. Much carnage ensues. In the end, when everything looks bleak for the few survivors who remain, CRASH...ASH smashes through the wall of the cabin in his signature oldsmobile to save the day (like grandpa in the lost boys).

As much as I want to see Bubba Nosferatu, it's not going to happen. Sorry Darknightwatchmen. Apparently, Bruce didn't want to do it and the director lost interest or something along those lines.

I can't wait to see this movie. I've been waiting a while for it, so this is great news as is the info regarding a sequel.

Exactly my point, talk of a sequel this early (before the first has even been released after spending a year in limbo) is a pointless tease...

Bring it on! Bruce by far is the best B movie monster hero. I will pay to see this in the theatre.

I agree, the sequel announcement is a little not exciting, but this movie does sound like it will be a lot of fun. I am in a minority here, I am sure, but I didn't care for Bubba Hotep, so I hope it is a triffle better than that.

Count me in! I'll be there opening weekend.

Finally! I hope everyone who is a Bruce Campbell fan will hit the movies for the opening weekend. I would like nothing better then to see Bruce finally get hit break and Hollywood to realize he has a huge fanbase. GO BRUCE!!!

I've been waiting for this flick for a long time! However, it just says October. I'll feel better when we have an actual, firm release date. Fingers (and toes!) still crossed.
