All hail the king, baby! Exclusive pic of Bruce Campbell from MY NAME IS BRUCE!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an AICN Exclusive, thanks to Dark Horse, of a group shot from MY NAME IS BRUCE, starring the one and only Bruce Campbell as himself. This movie looks all sorts of badass. It's about Bruce Campbell being mistaken for his heroic one-handed character, Ash, from the Evil Dead flicks and ends up being recruited to fight a monster in Oregon. Feels like GALAXY QUEST but with Bruce "Fucking" Campbell. Directed by the man himself and coming out in February. Where do I sign up for the wait list? Enjoy the pic!

We need a dude with an eye patch in this photo. Captain Panaka rules!!!!
-
This movie is going to be great... for any who don't know the plot: Monsters invade a small town and some genius finds out Bruce Campbells nearby and figures he MUST be like Ash from the ED movies, so they get him to come fend off the badguys. Hilarity ensues. Can't wait for this movie. It's seriously gonna be awesome I'd say. Especially with Ted Raimi playing the big baddie!
-
Who wedged Captain Panaka's eye out anyway?
-
i want to be like "yesssss" inside, but something is making me feel more like "noooooo". i really didnt care for bubba hotep (i thought it had some nice moments, but lacked overall) and i couldnt even watch the whole thing of screaming brain... i dunno, i need to be impressed by this or i think ill officially have lost my bruce campbell wood for good.
-
As a long time fan of The Evil Dead, I am hoping for a very entertaining piece of meta melarkey from this My Name Is Bruce. I notice Danny Hicks is in the picture above (Bobby Jooooooe!) and on IMDB I see Ellen Sandweiss is listed as playing Cheryl. That part in the first Evil Dead, when she's guessing the cards, is one of the first shitmypants moments in films I remember from when I was a kid. I am really, really, really hoping this one turns out well. Don't let us down, Bruce Campbell.
-
Just tell me where and when I can see it!!
-
It makes me feel "yessssss" inside!
-
Groooovy!
-
Still too close to They Call Me Bruce (anyone remember that one?) for my liking, but yeah, anyway, hopefully this'll be a whole big mess of goofy fun, and not just a whole big mess. The potential is there, and the fans are willing. We'll see.
-
Bruce knows it too. So does Dark Horse, that's why they live here.
-
he was looking kinda bloated with his shorter 'hair-do' in MAN WITH THE SCREAMING BRAIN. Don't let yourself go Bruce!
-
the lesson, as always...never trust the working title
-
Now dont get me wrong,I Loovve Bruce just as much as the next guy but im not counting on this to be good at all.Man with the screaming brain was so terrable and could of been so good its better to count this as a maybe movie,but not likely.
-
His movies are great fun most of the time, his autobiog was enormously entertaining and his other book, "How To Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way" has the greatest title of any book ever, but isn't this self-deprecating thing going just a bit too far? I find the charm of the whole thing wearing off a bit.
-
I was cruising the IMDB for information on this My Name Is Bruce, and I saw a listing for Bubba Nosferatu & The Curse Of The She-Vampires, which I think is one of the best titles for a film ever. Apparently, Paul Giamatti will be playing Colonel Tom Parker in this one. Does anyone know if there's any truth to this? That IMDB is an unreliable bugger.
-
You make a fair point, but I'm assuming he's aiming for self-effacing rather than self-serving. That seems to fit with his sense of humour. That said, I'm hoping they do a Harlem Nights style opening credit sequence - Bruce Campbell presents, a Bruce Campbell production of, a film by Bruce Campbell, MY NAME IS BRUCE!, starring Bruce Campbell.
-
And who could forget his great hit song "She called me Bruce!"?
-
for films like this and Bubba-Ho-Tep. Bruce is a guy who knows exactly what is cool about him, and why we love him. Thankyou God (if you even existed) and thankyou Bruce, or Ash!
-
But why does Bruce look like Erik Estrada?
-
They both look like Jughead from the Archie comics
-
Until I remember how bad The Man With The Screaming Brain was. Bruce is awesome but that movie, which he also wrote and directed, was all kinds of awful. And not "good" bad. It was 'Tornado!' bad.
-
Brain indeed was pretty bad. It did have it's moments of greatness though...usually the ED2-ish possessed slapstick moments, like the bar fight.
-
and i have no doubt this will be amazing! This is what Bruce knows best - Evil dead crossed with his geek image. It can't fail!

Imagine if this was directed by Edgar Wright!
by Talkbacker with no name
That would be far too much for my brain to take! But let's not forget Bruce has learnt a few tricks from Rami in regards to camera moves and style!
-
sure do hope it's better than "Man with the Screaming Brain"
-
I love Bruce Campbell of old, but his movies suck now, way too cheesey.
-
There. I said it. Why does shit like this have to happen?
-
Dec. 12, 2006, 6:58 a.m. CST
Dazzler69, what movies are you talking about?
by Talkbacker with no name
The ones he has acted in recently or are you referring to 'the man with a screaming brain'? Too Cheesy?! Campbell is the king of cheese! You not seen evil dead? :)
-
So who wants to bet on which character in the pic will say the magic word? My bet is the kid. Maybe the poindexter with the shotgun. Bruce himself is too obvious.
-
but that pic is supposed to be something special? looks like Bruce's NA meeting just let out.
-
Let's hear your suggestions? My pick is 'Icebreaker.' Bruce with a shaved head, as a bad guy terrorist! Awesome!
-
And Danny Hicks on the left?
-
2006- "I Am Not Ash" by Bruce Campbell" 2016- "I Am Ash" by Bruce (Hail to The King) Campbell.
-
. . . Campbell hasn't been in one good flick that didn't involve Raimi, The Coens, or Elvis in a rest home.
-
Ellen Sandweiss is in the movie as her Evil Dead character! Even more awesome! In case you forgot, her character, Cheryl, is the one who gets in a nasty fight with some foliage... ewww.
-
The guy to the left of Bruce with the checked shirt and the shotgun pointing skywards - isn't that the actor who played the hick guy from Evil Dead II?
-
(circa 1994)
-
...is the Blacksmith from AOD! I'm sure of it!!!
-
doesnt everyone just think of that?
-
Someone shot a load in Captain Panaka's eye. So he renamed himself Captain Typho.
-
His first flick, the man with the screaming brain was HORRIBLE. I hope he's able to hire some writers for this one, otherwise I"ll turn it off in 15 mins. AND I LOVE BRUCE! But his solo shit has sucked ass so far.
-
was definately the weakest of the whole evil dead series...i mean i know that the second one begins crazy and kind of pisses you off about rights wars..but...at least it was worth watching...army of darnkess just lost the flare of the other 2..not as scary or funny...hmm
-
...that it'll be a direct-to-video release. Looks good, but c'mon - Bruce Campbell directs Bruce Campbell as Bruce Campbell? Does he do the music and foley work, too?
-
Oh, I'm sorry. They've already cast the role of Reed Richards.
-
What is it with geeks and Bruce Campbell? I did enjoy the Evil Dead movies, but they werent exactly the greatest things ever. Honestly as far as horror movies go there are ALOT better. Still there fun because there so damn corny. They are mostly good because of how laughably bad the acting and effects and writing and everything was. Again, the movies are ok-good, I would say they are all about a 7 out of 10, but thats about it. Get off his weewee, the guy really isnt all that.
-
The premise of this movie sounds like my wettest geek dreams come true. All hail Mighty Bruce!!
-
Puddy and Bruce need to work together! Voice work alone would be fantastic! "As you can see, this is my face. I didn't paint my face, I painted my chest. Yeah, that's right. High five". Funny stuff.
-
This isn't a sequel to "They Call Me Bruce"? Seriously, I dig his neo-coolness.
-
Campbell plays the Roddy McDowell character,Peter Vincent, from Firght Night.Peter Vincent: I am Peter Vincent, vampire killer!
-
[Charley turns to a now believing, now terrified Peter Vincent for help fighting vampires] Peter Vincent: That's just a character I played in a movie! Peter Vincent's not even my real name! Peter Vincent: Apparently your generation doesn't want to see vampire killers anymore, nor vampires either. All they want to see slashers running around in ski masks, hacking up young virgins.
-
MOST pleased.
-
i think he can pull this off, def gonna see it
-
This needs to be in a theater, stat!
-
Weren't we promised a DIE HARD 4 trailer this week?!
-
kickin' ass . . . in a Hawaian shirt. "hey, wait a minute. i never even met these assholes."
-
i have a dvd of They Call Me Bruce?, but My Name Is Bruce is bound to be better as there is a good chance of some smarty chainsaw action. and please could some geeky-type make a fanboy trailer for Die Hard 4 so all these fans of the other, lesser Bruce have something to wank over and keep them quiet.
-
yea baby your shoes are untied
-
came to my mind too...<p>someone mentioned good Bruce Campbell movies and they forget the wonderful SKY HIGH...which had voicework by Patrick Warburton and funny funny scenes with Bruce and Kevin McDonald and Dave Foley
-
Screaming brain was horrible - unwatchable. And to think that Sci-Fi had all of these promos for it. It looked like it was shot with an 8mm camera. I do like the idea of this and it has the opportunity to be really funny. Keeping the fingers crossed.
-
No, the sequel to "They Call Me Bruce" is "They Still Call Me Bruce". I, however, think "My Name Is Bruce" will be better than those two combined. Is it possible?!
-
Or was that Hair High? Damn.
-
I guess I need to see that flick.
-
But why do I sense direct to video / Sci Fi Channel "exclusive premiere?" I don't get it. Evil Dead movies have become huge. Bubba Ho-Tep had a surprisingly successful theatrical run. He's got two well recieved books. Yet the guy still runs around conventions saying "it's sooo hard making movies, nobody wants to give me money!" I'm not being a troll. I swear. I just feel that Bruce -could- pull off a Bubba Ho-Tep style release if he had the patience / desire like Coscarelli did. But he seems happy with crummy Sci Fi channel movies. The guy is capable of so much more badassery. Also, his putting down the audience at Q&A's is really starting to get old. Of all the actors making the convention rounds, Campbell is one of the most disrespectful, saying things like "you're an idiot" and "forget you, next question." He's still better than Karen Black though, at least he didn't show up drunk and flash the audience a beaver. An old, stringy furred beaver no less.
-
if you haven't seen Sky High yet, you need to check it out, good movie, clean and yet funny with some funny performances from Bruce McDonald, Foley...Kurt is great too as is Lynda Carter...
-
Running Time, hands down. The baddest motherfucking little heist pic ever. Great direction from Josh Becker.
-
Hmmm, that's a tough one. I liked Bubb-Ho-Tep, but maybe I could nominate The Hudsucker's Proxy, even though he had about a minute of screen time. An underrated Cohen Brother's flick.
-
I was watching Butch Cassidy & The Sun Dance Kid last night and I saw something very startling. There's a bank robbing montage in Boliva and I swear that on the wanted poster you'll see a drawn picture of Redford and Swayze! Check it out guys and tell me I'm not insane! X
-
A traveler runs into a trio from the new Anderson film "THE DARJEELING LIMITED". Here is the link: http://jessechappelle.blogspot .com/2006/12/what-you-find-in- rajasthan.html
-
And you know it.
-
Has he had chin reduction surgery or is it just the lighting?
-
don't forget the 3rd one, Bruce Is Still My Name. a shame that, as that would have been an ace name for a sequel to My Name Is Bruce. as for the best non-ED Campbell film, i shall forever have a soft spot for Crime Wave, but it's hard to Argue with Bubba Ho-Tep. surprised that no one has mentioned Spider-Man, he was pretty cool in both.
-
...where Campbell has a decent sized role? Probably either Sundown or Maniac Cop, both pure schlocky b-movie goodness. He was also cheesy fun in Waxwork 2, Escape From L.A. and, of course, Bubbu Ho-Tep.<p>As far as his best non Evil Dead or Raimi/Cohen related performance goes, probably that guest shot he did on Homicide. He was pretty good in the very much over-rated Running Time too, from what I recall. I would have rated his guest spot on American Gothic here as well, but I just remembered, that was Raimi produced too, so...
-
because he makes his real money as Raimis doorman. Runnig Time is a good flick, they run it on IFC every once in a while. About the posted pic, whats with the kid having a lightsaber?

Sadly that's NOT John Herd it's one of the damn McCains
by JethroBodine
If you see either McCain brother in a promo for a movie do NOT waste your time with the movie. Seeing that they are involved is a guaranteed sign of a stinker. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for campy Bruce Campbell movies, but if a McCain brother is in it then you know that the budget for this film was less than what you would ordinarily spend for a carton of Marlboros. Who are these mysterious McCain brothers you ask? They are WEATHER MEN. That's it, that's all, they do the weather, and sports, and some crappy morning interview show in Oklahoma. That's it. They have got NO acting chops at all. Bruce I want to laugh with ya, but adding the McCains to your picture will have me laughing at ya. More on the McCains.... http://www.mccainbrothers.com/

Bruce Campbell OWNS! Hail to the King, baby!!!
-
...Beyond. The perfect chin for Batman.
-
but it's probably campbell's real middle name...
-
Harry's not kidding-- its actually REALLY good.
-
Dec. 12, 2006, 3:54 p.m. CST
wow, he would be awesome as Bruce Wayne in Bat Beyond
by iamnicksaicnsn
Make it happen WB!
-
...the guy to Bruce's left with the shotgun & red flannel is the guy who plays Jake the redneck in Evil Dead 2. Good to see him getting work.
-
know where in oregon?
-
Aging is a terrible thing folks. This premise seems sad, but I guess will see.
-
(Or is it just me?)
-
Fuckin Great stuff. Long Live the Bruce!!! (the Evil Dead at the movies "expierences" were an awesome part of cinemas past as well as my own.

-
Ha! I think it's funny that for the most part the only one in the image NOT holding a shotgun is Bruce. I love it and it takes place in Oregon. I just moved to Oregon two months ago from Connecticut. Bruce is great and he fighting monster in my new home.
-
eeeee vv vv ii ll ee vv vv ii ll eeeee vv vv ii ll ee vvv ii ll eeeee vv ii lllllll DEAD
-
Bruce!
-
C'mon, you know he would rock as Maxwell. Get the guy who played Arthur in the TICK live-action series for Ralph Hinkley and throw in some little green guys and some scenarios and you're golden!
-
now?
-
...Or so I was told when I saw a bit of this movie a while back. I enjoyed what I saw of it, and it sure seemed like the kind of thing fans of Bruce, guns, violence, mayhem, monsters and ancient Asian demigods will enjoy.
-
Geez, never thought I would hear someone say that on here about The King. And yeah he is holding pistols, that is my point. I think it's funny that he is the one without the shotgun. You know... his boomstick. By the way did anyone see Evil Dead the musical. How was it? I moved out of the NYC metro area before I heard there was a musical. Hopefully it was still be around when my fiance and I head back to CT/NY for a week in the summer.
-
Cute.
-
Although I love Bruce, I would rather see John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) as Bill Maxwell. Your suggestion for Ralph was cool. My friends and I always said it would be Owen Wilson if they did it.
-
Why is everyone in this pic so friggin' clean? Everyone's supposed to be fightin' zombies, monsters or whatever but they all look like the cast of some damn town hall repertory community theater in Dayton, Ohio!
-
I just don't get it. And most people don't. Horrible line delivery, acting, etc. It may have been cool tongue in cheek back in the Evil Dead days, but it is OLD. It's fine if YOU enjoy it. I enjoy the work of plenty bad actors I'm sure, but this endless ra ra ra of Bruce Campbell is seriously one of the greatest mysteries known to man. I'm glad it's not on a larger scale. I'm glad the general audience doesn't feel the same way about him as you guys do. Why? Because then he would actually act in somewhat commendable movies, and I'd see more of him. I've seen him in Q/As, seen him on Dinner for Five, etc. and he comes off as a very arrogant and self centered guy. It's cool, I get it Bruce, you're a B-movie guy that's been in a couple of cult movies. Stop pretending you are some God in independant cinema, because that is not the case at all. Heck, even Sam Raimi, your meal ticket, gives you nothing but bit parts in Spider-Man movies. Parts that are a complete distraction from the movie. Annoying. Hey, there's Bruce Campbell. We get it. That schtick (sp?) was old ten years ago. So many more actors deserve these kudos. People like Michael Biehn (who actually has proven talent) or all of the actors in John Carpenter movies, etc. But Campbell? I dont know where my distaste comes from:) I guess I just don't understand the mystery. He's not a good actor. At least, he hasn't proven to be as of yet. There's a hundred actors out there that work in small level movies more deserving of the kudos. It's funny seeing TBers bitch about Transformers, or hell, even movies like Godzilla and what not, and then you turn around and praise Bruce Campbell movies. But hey, to each his own. Enjoy.
-
Bow fucking down to Evil Dead 2. Why are you here? You don't even deserve Evil Dead 2. You're not fit to speak about, much less think about, Bruce Campbell. Fuck yourself. You're a sorry, retarded asshole. You are not worthy. You just don't get it, and you have no hope to ever discover it. Emoticons are for preteen girls. Go hate somewhere else.
-
Bruce has ED1 + 2 and nothing else. He is a cult icon, which is fine, but it's a "one-note-joke" kind of thing. Sorry, folks, ED:AoD ain't all that.
-
beyond Evil Dead 2. "He is a cult icon, which is fine..." I'll bet Bruce is real fucking glad he's got your approval, numbnuts. You and moto oughta go out on a date.
-
Yeah sure, Campbell is a bit of an arrogant prick. I mean c'mon, he wrote a book called "Making love, the Bruce Campbell way" and a movie titled "My name is Bruce!". Those are indeed the markings of a slightly arrogant person. But you know what? That's what we like about him. That's what's so fun about the Ash character: he's an idiot. An arrogant selfcentered idiot who can fuck up a cup of coffee. And that's what Bruce Campbell does too. Wether he genuinly is that way or not is besides the point. Sure, he'll never be a Depp or a Cage actor-wise, but as a personality he's a thousand times more fun. You ever heard a dvd commentary track by Johnny Depp? He's fucking boring! Listen to the commentary tracks on all the Evil Dead's by Campbell and you'll shit your pants laughing. I don't care if it's all an act or not. I just think almost everything he does is pretty fucking funny.
-
It is too soon for the Bruce Campbell backlash. This is the film any fan of Bruce has been waiting for. This is the geek culmination of Mr Campbell's entire career, the pinnacle of Campbellosity, a fantabulous grab bag of Campbellessness. My Name Is Bruce could be the Snakes On A Plane that Snakes On A Plane was too damn chicken to be, although there are, as far as I know, no actual snakes or planes in it. We should be crossing our sweaty little fingers and praying to the Kandarian Gods that this slice of grand cinematic nonsense is THE BEST FILM EVER MADE. Of course, it could also be shit, in which case... fuck Bruce Campbell.
-
Please.
-
I like him only in Army of Darkness, Sky High, Tv appearance on Charmed, Hercules and Zena appearances and the Spider-man cameos. You think he would work with his strenghs and would have chained out more Evil Dead movies into more of a serial.
-
Didn't mean to imply that your well-aimed jizz festooning the Ash poster on your closet door was misplaced. I admire the man-love Bruce inspires among the internet community. More power to him. However, some of us think he's a cornball bad actor and not really that pumped to see him do The Bruce Thing (c). I didn't bad-mouth your Ash action figure collection, just that Bruce riding that ED2 wave this long after is pretty silly of him. But, hey, you might be right - look at the Trek luminaries like Shatner. Anyway, entitled to my opinion, and all that, blah blah blah. Take the candy cane out of your ass and have a happy holiday.
-
... yes, it's people like you with zero intelligent responses like that that give AICN such a good name (enter extreme sarcasm)... keep up the good work:)
-
Not an easy feat since I'm not even that old yet. Also, this movie looks to be great. I love that BC is such a sarcastic prick but at the same time doesn't take himself too seriously.
-
Take your impotent, jealous hate elsewhere. Is that all you got? Your lives suck and you know it. You'd have nothing but effusive ass-kissing for Campbell if you met him in real life and you know it.
-
okay... you got me again. You got us all. Enjoy
-
I obviously do. And I shall. Puto.
-
I Have known about this one for a while, because my uncle is in the movie. He plays some guy that gets shot by bruce cambell and yells out something like "the Fake shot me!" Don't remember the exact line but it was posted be something like that. I can't wait to see it
