My Name is Bruce

Dont know how true this is:

check out AICN ,they have the following report posted :

It seems that Bruce Campbell may have a new film in the works. Here is what AICN has to say:

In the intro he said in the fall he's going to start shooting a movie where he plays himself and a monster starts killing people in this small town where he is staying and somebody has the idea to get the guy from the Evil Dead movies to fight the monster, but even more people die when he shows up since he's never used a chainsaw or a shotgun.

that would completely own. Bruce is one of the few people in the horror genre who could play himself and make a movie just as entertaining if not more so than if he were just playing a character in a generic movie.

Agreed. The plot is genius, as silly as it sounds.

sounds fun but would it be any good if bruce wasnt in it? most probably not

of course it wouldn't be good if another actor was playing the role of Bruce Campbell.................that's just dumb. The entire point would be the self-parody on Bruce's part, lampooning his status as a cult horror icon............

it's hard to do self-parody without the "self" part.

i dig it, hope they are making it

I was at the San Diego Comic Convention over the last four days, and had the great opportunity to attend the Bruce Campbell Discussion Panel. It was great, awesome, funny guy. Didn't mention this movie though.

Also said there will not be a Freddy vs Jason vs Ash movie ever, and said Ashton Kutcher is going to be starring in the evil dead remake, and said there most likely won't be an evil Dead 4.

When he said that Ashton Kutcher was going to be in the Evil Dead remake, the audience booed. Bruces response was "Ah, come on, don't you want to see him get raped by a tree?" Too which everyone cheered.

He also gave his opinion on the recent "remake" trend and how shitty it is, and just gave an all around funny performance. It was like he was doing stand up.

BOO! Ashton Kutcher SHOULD be raped by a tree. He did ok in Butterfly Affect but that is no justification to have him replace Bruce Campbell.

Well, they don't know if he'll actually play Ash, it's very possible that the character may not even be in the remake at all.

They would be much better off with just a part 4.

Bruce Campbell to play Bruce Campbell?

It's not quite "Evil Dead 4" (you can hammer on about that one as long as you like - there's more chance of Naomi Watts offering to do my dishes) but Bruce Campbell's doing something that should float your boat 'near' just as much.

"In the Fall I’m going to start a new film for Dark Horse comics, a cool company set in Portland, they’re making movies now. It’s an untitled Bruce Campbell movie where I play myself", the legendary B-superstar tells Kotaku. "It’s about a small town that is having problems with a monster and nothing’s working so somebody suggests let’s get the Evil Dead guy. Unfortunately, in reality I don’t own a gun, I’ve never used a chainsaw and more die then before I got there."

It's the nearest we're going to get to the chainsaw-wielding chap from the Sam Raimi helmed "Evil Dead" series. Campbell again rules out a fourth chapter.

"As far as Evil Dead (yawn) 4. Sam Raimi is too busy making wheel-barrels of money right now", he says.

Plot Outline: B Movie Legend Bruce 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.

One of the best plots I have ever heard.

tohsw00t

I heard about this like a year ago; and I can't wait.

I heard about this like a year ago; and I can't wait.

probably read it here. There's an old ass thread about this somewhere.......

I recall a thread on it here as well. The title changed from "They Call Me Bruce" I think.

I love Bruce Campbell and am really looking forward to this.

I searched like hell and couldn't find it.

If you guys find it, post it and we can get a merge.

Only Bruce Campbell can play Bruce Campbell pimp
