Ron Perlman Uncovers the Truth About Bubba Nosferatu

Ron Perlman, speaking with Fangoria Radio, gave the world an update on his long-gestating follow-up to Don Coscarelli's Bubba Ho-Tep. In the new film Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires, Perlman will be replacing Bruce Campbell as Elvis in what is sure to be an over-the-top adventure unlike anything we've ever seen.

Perlman hopes to shoot the film in the fall, stating, "Well, I have this window that's about to open. I'll be done shooting Sons of Anarchy in September, and we're hoping to get into production on Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires in my hiatus between seasons two and three. I just spoke to Paul Giamatti (set to play Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker) and Don Coscarelli this morning, and we're just moving the ball down the field, trying to get her done."

Also reported in the same story is that Don Coscarelli's favorite actor, and star of his Phantasm films, Angus Scrimm has joined the cast as a Boris Karloff-like horror star who Elvis meets on the set of a vampire movie.

About starring in the film, Perlman stated, "Elvis is so iconic because there was never anyone like him and never since. Elvis created an entire new place for that image. He's so iconic, he's mythic. I'm very titillated to see what it's gonna be like to be inside the white jumpsuit." The sequel currently has a proposed release date of 2011.

Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires is in development and stars Ron Perlman, Paul Giamatti. The film is directed by Don Coscarelli.

    It is about time Don Coscarelli was allowed to make this film and with stars of this caliber. He is a really great director and PHANTASM is probably one of the most intelligent horror films ever.

    The fact that he is bringing Angus Scrimm aka The Tall Man to the party makes this even better.

    All we need is Reggie Bannister and that will put this film over the top.

    Best,

    I have been waiting for Bruce Campbell to be in this sequel, now it's going to be Ron Pearlman. I think Pearlman is good and does qualify for the horror B movie kind of guy, but I wish it was still going to be Bruce. He was hilarious in the first one. I bought the original, but I don't think I'll get this one. Hope it works out for them though. Funniest line in the movie -Bruce/Elivis: "In her mind I was so sexually non-theatening, that to her is was just like a house cat catching a peak. For a moment, I felt my pecker stand up and quiver like a pidgen having a heart attack. Then it just lied down still and quiet". RIP Ossie Davis.

    Ron Perlman is the man. He's right up there in the ranks of horror icons, such as Bruce Campbell, Tom Atkins, and Robert Englund.
