I still don’t know why the fuck Bruce Campbell bowed out of playing Elvis in the upcoming BUBBA NOSFERATU, the sequel to BUBBA HO-TEP, but hell, if you’re gonna get someone else, Perlman’s a damn good choice. I’m sure with makeup, they’ll get him lookin’ like Elvis, but I’m mostly stoked about the choice due to sheer overall talent. Ron Perlman is a fantastically talented character actor who really has the ability to take a role and run with it. I look forward to what he does with the roll.
Also staring Paul Giamatti
The boys over at Shock Till You Drop got their hands on the cover art for the upcoming, UNCUT release of Phantasm IV: Oblivion on dvd August 26th. According to them:
“The DVD boasts a brand new anamorphic transfer, a never-before-seen retrospective featurette and a newly recorded commentary by writer/producer/director Don Coscarelli, Reggie “The Ice Cream Man” Bannister and the “Tall Man” himself – Angus Scrimm! This release presents the uncut version of the film, reinstating scenes that were deleted prior to its original North American theatrical release.”
Sounds pretty cool. Save your pennies, this fall promises to be pretty damn sweet for dvd releases. Now feast your eyes on the cover art.
