Their living-legend status has equipped them to asexually reproduce new adventures. This is the serialized pulp story template. Yeah, and The Lone Ranger died when you saw him and Silver fly off the cliff during the last commercial break. And writer-director Don Coscarelli envisions different actors playing Elvis for each sequel.īut didn’t Elvis die at the end of Bubba Ho-tep?

Yep, Bubba Insert Classic Horror Creature Here is a trilogy. Giamatti is fucking in, as they say, to play Colonel Tom Parker. Campbell left over creative differences and writer changes. Who the hell can bring the same classy B-movie gravitas to the role of the King? Who else can possibly bring a legendary Horror hero pedigree to the table other than the chinned-one? You either loved Bubba Ho-tep or you hated it.īruce Campbell has parted ways with the project? Pump the fucking brakes. You already know if you’re going to like this or not. Premise: Elvis shoots a film in Louisiana when he runs afoul a coven of she-vampires.Ībout: The sequel to 2004’s Bubba Ho-tep. If I may quote Anakin Skywalker: “Yipeeee!” So let’s start it off with a little vampire action, shall we? Take it away Roger… And hey, we should have a couple of script links as well. And finally a black list entry from 2006 that should get supporters of films like “The Squid And The Whale” and “Rachel Getting Married” excited (if they’re not too hopped up on anti-depressents that is).

I also have a dark psychological supernatural thriller that may be starring two gorgeous actresses. Anyway, the good news is I’ve already read this week’s scripts, and while I’ve ranked a certain upcoming action-comedy-romance a strong ‘worth the read’, there is a 1.75 million dollar comedy spec from a few years back that was absolutely dreadful. It’s a reminder that I can be a bit too critical at times (not that I’ll change). I like when Roger reviews scripts because he always sees the best in them. Tell a friend! It’s Roger Balfour capitalizing on all the vampire mania with a review of Bubba Ho-Tep’s sequel: Hubba Bubba Something’s In The Tubba! Or something like that.
