‘My Name is Bruce’ Action Figure!
You haven;t even seen the movie yet, but I know you still want to get your mitts on Dark Horse Comics’ Bruce Campbell action figure, as seen in their upcoming feature film, My Name Is Bruce. The fully articulated doll is formed from a 3-D scan of Campbell himself. Besides a custom fabric miniature version of his actual Hawaiian shirt, which was loaned to us by Mr. Campbell, proving that he’s the kind of partner who would “give you the shirt off his back,” an array of movie-specific accessories are included. Two of these are miniature “angel” and “devil” versions of Mr. Campbell. They attach to his shoulders using hidden magnets. Additionally, we have: Shemps Olde Tyme Whiskey, A Bruce collectible toy in melted package, refreshing Lemon Drink bottle, A miniature Chins book and a big honkin’ gun with price tag still attached.

‘Manhunter: The Final Cut’ Trailer – Michael Mann’s 4K Restoration Arrives in Theaters This Month
Michael Mann‘s adaptation of Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon is receiving a stunning new 4k restoration in celebration of the film’s 40th anniversary this year, and a new trailer gives a look at the gorgeous release.
Manhunter: The Final Cut will open in select US theaters on July 24
The film will also release theatrically in the UK on September 25 and on home entertainment later this year.
In Manhunter, “FBI criminal profiler Will Graham (William L. Petersen) is called out of early retirement to assist on a serial murder case involving a killer known as the “Tooth Fairy” (Tom Noonan). Graham enlists the help of imprisoned serial killer — and cannibal — Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox), who is the reason Graham took an early retirement. Soon, Graham and the FBI are entangled in a deadly cat-and-mouse game between the Tooth Fairy, Lecter, and an interfering journalist (Stephen Lang).“
It marks the first on-screen appearance of the cannibalistic killer that Anthony Hopkins would later popularize in The Silence of the Lambs, though Brian Cox’s iteration has even less screentime.
It’s the talents of the late Tom Noonan as the unsettling Francis Dollarhyde that makes this serial killer thriller so creepy. Three-time Oscar nominee Joan Allen (The Contender, 2000) also stars as his blind love interest.
Mann guided this 4K scan of the original 35mm negative, with a few shots from an interpositive , that was conformed and digitally restored at L’Immagine Ritrovata in Bologna. Both the theatrical version and the UHD HDR & SDR video color gradings were performed by Stefan Sonnenfeld at Company 3 in Los Angeles with the director. Sound restoration was done at Audio Mechanics from an original 35mm magnetic 6-track printmaster to release a new 5.1 mix by Luke Schwartzweller at Fox. Technical coordination and deliveries were managed by L’Immagine Ritrovata. This project was supervised by Becca Mann and the StudioCanal team, Jean-Pierre Boiget, and Delphine Roussel.
This new 4K Final Cut, overseen by Mann, “enhances the film’s depth, visual clarity and sound, offering audiences the ultimate immersive version,” per the press release.
