Bubba Ho-Tep

[Mangamax]

Seen anything about this?
Bruce Cambell plays a 70 year old Elvis (initially with zimmer frame), brought out of the retirement home he's in for the last 30 years, to battle an evil mummy.
There's already talk of another one, which would be a prequel set in the seventies, have Elvis in his black jumpsuit phase, battling vampires and it'd be called Bubba Nosferatu.

Yup, I heard about this a while back. I thought he was in an insane asylum though that may have changed...

Also heard theres a black guy in it who thinks he's JFK.

"Y'know Kennedy isn't black...

And Elvis isn't alive!"

[Trout]

That sounds fabulous!

With Bruce Campbell too?

It warrants my first-ever use of the following phrase:

I'M THERE!

AFAIK they haven't been able to find a distributor as yet - this has been doing the rounds for about a year now.

Is it out yet?

I remember seeing this advertised yonks ago but there was no word of when it was commong.

I thought it looked fantastic and the early reviews agreed.

Bruce campbell is ace.

There's a short interview with Brucey baby about it in the latest Empire - not worth buying the mag for it though, just read it in Smiths.

Best sound clips from the trailer:

'Jack, President Kennedy was a white man'
'They dyed me this colour!'


'Don't make me use my stuff on ya baby'

[Last of the V8's]

Directed by the genius that created the Phantasm movie series Don Coscarelli.

Ahhh. Phantasm... shite, but enjoyable.

Jamie's right about the ditributor, a real shame!

Sounds great doesn't it?
