Cinema Suicide

I seem to get a lot of people asking me when this movie was supposed to come out and my usual answer was, “I don’t fucking know! Stop asking me!” But now I can stop being an asshole and commit to this. My Name Is Bruce is finally getting a theatrical run according to Shock Til You Drop, who got the goods from Dark Horse Comics’ Mike Richardson (also a producer on this film) said:

“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.”

So there you go. Reshoots have delayed the release, but it sounds like they’re the good kind of reshoots, so don’t despair. Early reports were that the movie, about a town besieged by real monsters kidnaps the real Bruce Campbell thinking that he has the right stuff to fight them because he was in Evil Dead. Hijinx ensue, lots of innocent people die. Sounds like a lot of fun.

You can expect it to hit theaters this October. Also, keep your eyes open, Richardson says that a sequel, titled My Name Is Still Bruce is already in the works.
