I thought Bubba Ho-tep was superb, and I've been salivating at the thought of a sequel for positively ages now. I heard some news before about the possibilities, but now there's some more gossip to make me think it might be close to becoming a reality.

From Bits of Newscomes the few slipped lines from the Screenwriter and Director of the original, Don Coscarelli:

"It’s going to star Bruce Campbell again, and he's going to put on the old sequined jump suit," says Coscarelli. "It looks like it could be pretty interesting."

I'll leave out the second comment for fear you might catch a little spoiler for the first film. If you haven't seen this I thoroughly recommend it, and you can see the Filmstalker review which gives it full marks.

It's a wonderfully bizarre tale that manages to look into how we treat the elderly, and how life isn't helped by sitting back and letting it pass. It's hard to believe a tale of two men lying, fading away in a home for the elderly can produce such a wonderful film, but when one believes he's Elvis and the other believes he's JFK and they join forces to kill a soul sucking mummy...well...you can see it now can't you?

I can't wait to see this, but there's only one downside. Ossie Davis, who played the man who believed he was JFK, has sadly passed away. One can only hope that they do this film justice and give a fitting rememberance to such a fine actor.
