Campbell’s The Name

Now it’s not huge news, but I couldn’t help myself. I mean, come on, it’s Bruce Campbell. The Chin. I don’t think it’s possible to not like the man. So when I read some minor news on MY NAME IS BRUCE (which he is directing and starring in), I can’t keep it from the rest of the Campbell fans out there.

In case you haven’t heard about it (where the hell have you been?!) Bruce Campbell will be starring in a fim titled MY NAME IS BRUCE. In the film, Bruce will be playing himself when he comes upon a small town in Oregon that’s being terrorized by the Guan-Di (the chinese god of war). The town thinks Bruce is his EVIL DEAD alter ego Ash and he’s forced to help the town with their problem.

Now I don’t know about you, but that spells all kinds of fun! Now the man behind the script of MY NAME IS BRUCE, Mark Verheiden recently updated his blog with the following:

“Work continues apace on finishing MY NAME IS BRUCE the motion picture. Trust me, we’re all itching to get ‘er threaded up and throbbing inside your eager brain-pans. I’ve heard some of composer Joe (EVIL DEAD 2) LoDuca’s soundtrack music, and it’s pitch perfect. The terrifying Guan-Di monster is getting more monsterous by the day and the sound more soundariffic, but like fine wine, MNIB will not be released before its time. This is not because of any second thoughts, and in fact we (Bruce Campbell, Dark Horse honcho Mike Richardson and moi) are still gathering to palaver over a sequel. Nope. This post production stuff just takes time…”

So there you have it, the news is Joe LoDuca will be returning to create that pulse-pounding, tense music we loved in EVIL DEAD 2. And the possibility of a sequel? Groovy! Now this one is looking like it’s going straight to DVD with Image Entertainment doing the releasing. According to Bruce-Campbell.com, MY NAME IS BRUCE should be out this fall, which gives it another 3 months. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
