I went to an exclusive Austin engagement of the new Bruce Campbell movie, The Man With the Screaming Brain. He wrote, directed, and starred in it, and was on hand to sign my copy of Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way. He also gave a hilarious Q&A about the movie and the current state of his career. The movie was shot for “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in Bulgaria, where he had to feed packs of wild dogs outside of his production house every morning to clear the way for the cast and crew.
He also mentioned that his next project was a movie for Dark Horse (straight to DVD) about a town with monster problems. The townsfolk decide that what they need is the guy from the Evil Dead movies. Of course, they go and get him only to discover that he’s an actor, not a chainsaw-wielding maniac, and, presumably, hilarity ensues.
