Campbell Goes Back To The Drawing Board For ‘My Name Is Bruce’ Sequel

Published

on

With all the Evil Dead talk going on these past few days, it’s kind of hard to think of Bruce Campbell in regards to anything else. But, I guess that’s why the original My Name Is Bruce was made to begin with. I don’t know which Campbell aficionados liked the flick – it was poorly written and he played himself as the most unlikable anti-hero ever – but there must be a fan base out there because sequel talks started almost immediately. Campbell recently sat down with Vulture to explain what the hold up is with My Name Is Bruce 2, which was supposed to start production during his next Burn Notice break.

“Well, the script sucked. We’ve got to start all over again. Your script is your blueprint. If your blueprint is off, your building is going to be, too. In the old days, I wouldn’t have even known what a bad script was. But now I have a better idea and I know that you actually can’t fix a bad script. With a great script, you can get a lousy actor and he’ll still be good in it. But a lousy script, you can get Laurence Olivier and it’ll still suck. So we’re working on it. We don’t want to piss people off. You make a sequel, people have expectations.

A bad script, eh? Too bad they didn’t realize that before they went into production on the first one. I love Bruce, so I sincerely hope he gets it right this time.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
