'My Name Is Bruce' Gets Release Date... and Sequel!
Highly anticipated film to hit theaters in October
While it's not exactly comics-related (though Dark Horse Entertainment will serve as distributor), it's still big news for just about every comics fan I know: Yes, Bruce Campbell's next film, My Name Is Bruce, finally has a release date!
ShockTillYouDrop.com, who spoke with Dark Horse president Mike Richardson during the Saturn Awards last week, has reported the film is due out in October. Directed by Campbell himself, and featuring a script by Mark Verheiden, the film's plot involves the real-life Bruce Campbell being mistaken for the character he played in his Evil Dead films and forced to fight a demon in order to save a town.
The film was first screened almost a year ago, but a string of delays caused many to doubt whether it would ever be seen in theaters.
But that's not all, according to the movie website:
Richardson said that a sequel, titled My Name is Still Bruce, is in the works as well. Dark Horse Entertainment and Image Entertainment will distribute both films.
Groovy.
(Sorry, I couldn't help it.)

Just came back from the film about an hour ago. It was hilarious. Bruce was there and had a great Q and A session afterwards. He's doing a tour of the movie, so check his website to see if he's near you.
Also, fun note. My Name is Bruce opened the same week as Changeling, staring the lead of Burn Notice. Bruce's film pwned Changeling at the box offices.
