This sounds awesome! So it seems the cult 2009 horror-comedy MY NAME IS BRUCE – starring the one and only Bruce Campbell – is getting a belated sequel called BRUCE VS. FRANKENSTEIN! Not only that, but apparently Campbell wants this to be a sort of "EXPENDABLES" for older horror stars, such as NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET's Robert Englund and FRIDAY THE 13TH's Kane Hodder!

Here's what he had to say about the project in an interview promoting his upcoming book THE COOL SIDE OF MY PILLOW:

With Bruce vs Frankenstein, I talked with Mike Richardson, who is my partner on this and we’re going to start with a graphic novel. So, I am going to adapt the screenplay. We’re going to put that out first so people in the industry can get a better sense of it. Mike has been selling a lot of projects to Netflix and he said that’s kind of the way to go with his material and fantasy stuff so he suggested we do that first. We’ll get a great artist, sell it in comic book form, people can totally see it and as a director, it’s kind of like doing storyboards.

t’s a tremendous amount of extra prep that I can do just by going through it because I actually have to think about pages, panels, and descriptions. It’s a format that’s not my normal format. Screenplay format, I can fart, I got that down. This is different from the way it looks on the page so it will be a very interesting translation process.

I want to get so many horror movie stars that people can’t possibly not see the movie. I want to give them other stuff to do. I want to have Kane Hodder be very particular about what he eats. I want Robert Englund to be a tough guy, like he knows taekwondo or something. I want to find out the hidden sides of all these people. Some will play themselves, some will play alternate characters as well. I may approach Kane Hodder to play Frankenstein. He could be Kane Hodder himself fighting himself as Frankenstein. It could be crazy.

Sounds cool to me! If we can't get an official ASH VS. FREDDY VS. JASON movie, this might be the next best thing!

While there's currently no official start or release date for BRUCE VS. FRANKENSTEIN, you can next see (or, actually hear) Bruce on Netflix's animated series THE LAST KIDS ON EARTH, and is producing – alongside friend Sam Raimi – the new EVIL DEAD RISE film, which supposedly takes place in a skyscraper!

So what do you guys think? Fans of MY NAME IS BRUCE? If so, how do you feel about the proposed sequel? Either way, sound off below!
