I just loved Bubba Ho-Tep. To this day it is totally beyond me how an excellent film like Bubba Ho-Tep could NOT get a distributor to give it a wide release, and yet a crap fest like “Supercross” could. No intelligent life on this planet… let’s move on.
Fortunately, the world of DVD gives films a second chance at life, and Bubba got a big cult following that way (Man, the bonus feature on the DVD of Bruce Campbell doing the commentary track AS ELVIS was amazing!)… enough to so spawn a sequel!!!! And it shall be called: “Bubba Nosferatu and the Curse of the She-Vampires“. JOY!!!
Two great items of casting news. First of all Bruce Campbell is back at Elvis (could they really do it without him? And second… it looks like they’ve snagged Paul Giamatti to play Colonel Parker!! Can it get any better than this? I submit that it can NOT!!
Man, with the foul mood the Simpsons “trailer” put me in, this is just what I needed to hear. Suddenly it’s sunny outside and the birds are singing once again.
Campbell is a stud and Elvis is the King. Why is this the first time I’ve heard of this!??!? Heck, I’ve even been to Graceland twice!
I just qued Bubba Ho-Tep on my Blockbuster online account! Thanks for the tip!
Man I can never get enough of Bruce Campbell. I loved Bubba, and man I’m sooooooo looking forward to this sequel.
JeffGrey! What the —-? I was going to watch that movie very soon! How could you?
Careful with spoilers guys.

I’m glad it’s a prequel. For a while, I was like, (EDITED BY JOHN FOR SPOILER CONTENT) How can they make a sequel?
I agree that this is really old news. Good news, but old.
This is going to be so much fun.
LOL! Great post, John.
Totally agree with you on this one. With Giamatti’s involvement, my excitement level for this project has just shot through the roof.
So glad they are making a sequal to such an excellent movie.
I hope this gets even more confirmed in the press, and we get more info soon.
Hell yes!! The problem is, I read about this almost 8 months ago and as far as I know, nothing has moved forward on this project.
Though a couple people have said they’ve seen clips. Supposedly, Elvis is way younger and more energetic.
Cambell claims it will be “a PREQUEL”
So this is exciting as hell. Have been excited for some time and now am re-energized with the prequel news.
