With all the crap movies being remade or sequelized, it's actyally refreshing to want to see a sequel. Bubba Ho-Tep was so original and so out there I can't wait to see where Coscarelli takes this next chapter!

I guess if the King of B movies doesn't want to do it, the Prince of Bad Horror and Sci-fi is a good replacement. Oddly enough, I actually think Perlman can pull this off. Lets pray this gets made before the world ends in 2012 ;)

I'll probably skip this one. The first one was good enough for me.

Fuck yeah, I'm in!!! Bring on more Bubba! :)

This is either a good idea or a really really bad one... I guess we'll see.

I'm sure it'll be good and I'm excited for a sequel but... RON PERLMAN?!/!?!! He doesn't look anything like The King. I mean he is a really good actor and I loved Hellboy 1 and 2, the Mutant Chronicles, and Outlander, and I really really wanna see I Sell the dead... but for him to take on what Bruce did in Ho-Tep... I mean come on man. But I am excited to see what role Paul will be in, and does anyone one know when El Superbeasto comes out? I wanna hear him as Doc. Satan.

Is anybody else pissed off at Bruce Campbell for not wanting to make this movie. If he's skipping out on this because he feels secure with Burn Notice (which sucks ass) he's a fucking idiot. As much as we all promote him to be in movies, because we enjoy watching him; it's betrayal. I think this movie would've helped him get back into making more movies. Fuck Burn Notice. Bruce fucked up by turning this role down. I don't understand. It's not like people are breaking down his door; wanting him to make movies. It doesn't make sense.

Bukowski Have you even stopped to consider why Bruce really might have turned it down? Lets look at this example. Thomas Jane loved being the Punisher. He fought and fought for there to be a sequel. Then the script finally came around, he heard about the direction it wanted to go on...and realized this wasn't something he wanted to be apart of. He didn't want to make that type of movie so he pulled out. Bruce enjoyed being Elvis. He felt it was an honor to work with Ossie Davis, and enjoyed the movie. He knows even non Bruce campbell fans liked the movie. He even said in the beginning he wanted to do a sequel. Maybe he turned it down because he didn't like the script, maybe he is busy with Burn Notice, but I'm sure bruce has his reasons. From the man who made "My name is Bruce" for the fans, he's not turning his back on us. Further more, you should be ashamed of yourself. Have you even ever sat down and watched Burn Notice? Its action packed, Bruce plays the perfect character as Sam Axe, and its a hell of a good show. This show has made Bruce campbell more popular, and its not cause he's a sell out, its cause he's damn good in it. More fans are coming up to him now saying hey you're the burn notice guy instead of the Evil dead guy. He likes it. You can't limit a guy's career just to one genre. To limit him to only horror is a disappointment. Hell Bruce campbell was the only good thing about Spiderman 3, and it had nothing to do with horror. Lay off of Bruce. He's still the man, and he always will be. And lay off of Burn Notice. Since all you did was say it "sucked ass" you obviously havn't watched it. Jeffery Donovan has gone to stardom because of that show, and Bruce's done great on it. USA has a goldmine here. And finally, since I'm in such a fantastical mood, see how well I made my point? Whether you agree or didn't agree doesn't matter to me, other commenters will read it. But how many times did I type FUCK? once...right there...to make a point. Calm down, shut up, and just let things be. Oh and as for the article itself, I think Ron Pearlman can pull this off. No one else could.

I like Perlman in some things. I am not convinced this is the right guy for the role, but I would be open to checking it out. I would rather see Campbell reprise the role, but I see his agent, CLMike, informed us all as to where Mr. Campbell's priorities lie. Yeah dude, nice rant! When are you and Bruce getting married? That being said, I would rather see a new 'Phantasm' film than a 'Bubba' film any day of the week.

I agree with Bukowski, "Burn Notice" is absolutely horrible.

Campbell pulled out because he claimed he didn't want to fall out with Coscarelli regarding the way the script was shaping up. He'd only just started making Burn Notice when the decision was taken so I hugely doubt it had any baring on it. You do however then have to ask the question of how a script can be good enough to snare Paul Giamatti yet not please the guy who made Terminal Invasion? I love Bruce but that doesn't add up for a second. On the Perlman front, I'm a big fan, but as Elvis? He'll act it out of the park but visually he's just about the most distinctive actor out there, and he sure as hell doesn't look like the king. I'm intigued as to how they're going to pull it off. Anyone got any suggestions as to who would have been better?

Bukowski Thompson- I don't see a reason for there to be another Ho-Tep movie. Perhaps Bruce feels the same. Montgomery- If I were casting this movie, I'd try to think of the best person to play Elvis. Not the best person to imitate Campbell playing Elvis. The best person I have seen play Elvis was Michael St. Gerard (Hairspray '88, Elvis the early years),but I hear He's a big time Bible thumper now. If not him than Kurt Russell played a pretty good Elvis. Don't know if he'd do it for what he'd be paid, but I kind of get the feeling he would. Seems like the kind of thing he would be into doing.

i might have been skeptical except for the pictures BD used for this story. perlman does look suspiciously similar to campbell in his full-elvis makeup.

Perlman, Giamatti and Coscarelli: Come on! It's gonna fucking ROCK!

CLMike, didn't Thomas Jane not make Punisher Warzone because he wanted to make The Mist instead. Thats what he said on the Scream awards last year.

I can not believe they got this guy to replace Bruce Campbell.Whats next,will Sam Raimi replace Bruce if he ever does a evil dead 4 with someone else.
