Bruce Campbell wants to make all-star horror movie

Despite Bruce Campbell being busy starring as Sam Axe in USA’s spy TV series Burn Notice, he still has plans to go back to his film roots and make an all-star horror flick, doing for horror what The Expendables did for action movies.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times promoting the Blu-Ray release of his acting debut Evil Dead, Campbell said he had hopes of making a sequel to My Name is Bruce, called Bruce vs Frankenstein and fill it with “so many horror movie stars that people can’t possibly not see the movie” – he means himself too.

Being the busy man that he is, Campbell isn’t sure if or when this project, that he likens to It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World could come about but the horror icons he has in mind will not only blow your mind in numbers but with what they’re doing, he plans to cast them against type: “I want to have Kane Hodder be very particular about what he eats. I want Robert Englund to be a tough guy, like he knows tae kwon do or something. I want to find out the hidden sides of all these people. Some will play themselves, some will play alternate characters as well. I may approach Kane Hodder to play Frankenstein. He could be Kane Hodder himself fighting himself as Frankenstein.”

He went on to say, “It could be crazy. It’s a silly concocted story that we hope to do maybe in a year or so...There’s a script, it just kind of blows right now, so no one’s really seeing it. We gotta work on it. Definitely shoot in Oregon all on a stage. It’s like the 300 of horror comedies. We want to make it a whole world. Someone’s gotta take Frank down for good.”

So what horror icons should be included? Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface); Hellraiser’s Doug Bradley (Pinhead); Halloween’s Tony Moran (Michael Myers); Friday the 13th’s Ari Lehman (Jason Voorhees); It’s Tim Curry (Pennywise); Nightmare on Elm Street’s Robert Englund (Fred Krueger); Dracula’s Christopher Lee, the list goes on.

What about more recent horror icons? The Ring, Saw, The Strangers, Scream, Paranormal Activity? Who do you think shouldn’t be missed?
