My Name Is Bruce In Theaters
It has been WAY too long since we have heard anything about Bruce Campbells My Name Is Bruce. Personally I thought he was too busy raking in the cash from Burn Notice but it looks like finally there is some movement in the camp and some pretty exciting news.
STYD attended the Saturn Awards where they spoke with Dark Horse Comics’ Mike Richardson, “Some people maybe thought the film fell out or that there was something wrong with it,” Richardson told the site. “We did our shoot, put it in the can and the studio that financed it liked it so much they gave us more money to do a second shoot. We beefed it up so it could go into the theaters.”
So the film looks to be hitting theaters sometime this October from Dark Horse Entertainment and Image Entertainment. He also let it slip that a sequel is already in talks, My Name Is Still Bruce. In the first film a small town is attacked by Demons. So they do what any small town would call upon a demon slayer, Ash. Only Ash is only in the movies but that doesn’t stop them from contacting Bruce Campbell!

Patients are dying in sick and twisted ways and those who survive are becoming raging, homicidal lunatics.

New Blindness Poster is Here
From PosterGeek and Impawards comes a brand new foreign poster for Fernando Meirelle’s Blindness. It looks like a really good movie but of course only time will tell. The release date so far is set for October 3rd but we will see how long that lasts.
The Box Release Date Bumped
According to Collider Richard Kellys The Box has been bumped, yet again. This from from March 20th 2009 to September 2009. The other word is that their will not be anything at comic con for the movie either. Not good signs when you consider the movie has been completed for some time now.
Three New Hammer Films
Since Hammer made its triumphant return they haven’t done much in terms of feature films. They are finished up the Beyond the Rave series on MySpace and also have a remake of Let the Right One In coming up in the future. But other than that they haven’t mentioned what they have up their sleeves.
However, Variety revealed that they have in production three brand new films, The Wakewood, The Resident and The Quiet Ones. All that was mentioned about The Wakewood is that David Keating is attached to direct. “The Resident” is a chiller directed by Antti Jokinen that is described as being in the tradition of “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”. “The Quiet Ones” is based on the supposedly true story of a group of Canadian hippie scientists in the 1970s who attempt to create a ghost.
