Bruce Campbell keeps Paul Giamatti Waiting For Bubba Ho-Tep Sequel

Paul Giamatti is one hot actor right now, but it seems that his name alone can’t greenlight this particular movie. It seems that the production company are waiting on b-movie legend Bruce Campbell. I hear you screaming Why?! Well it’s because the film is Bubba Nosferatu, a prequel to the cult comedy Bubba Ho-Tep.

Giamatti, talking to Rotten Tomatoes has said, “I would really like to do that […] Did you ever see Bubba Ho-Tep? Great movie. And that director [Don Coscarelli], I love that guy’s movies. All the Phantasm movies and stuff. But we are trying to do it.”

The announcement of a sequel was meant to be an end of credits joke after Bubba Ho-Tep but the film is now a possibility due to positive feedback from fans. The film seems like a fantastic idea but the only thing holding it back is Bruce. Campbell is yet to sign on, but I’m sure he can’t be that busy!

Giamitti continued, “Bruce Campbell was waffling around about whether he wants to play Elvis or not again. So that’s the problem. You gotta have Elvis and you really want him playing Elvis, so hopefully we can get him to do it. If not, I’m sure they will try and find somebody else but I think it’s contingent on whether he’ll do it or not. It’s a great script, a completely insane script. I would love to do that because I love [Bubba Ho-Tep]. It’s a great movie.”
