Ron Perlman: 'Bubba Nosferatu' Is Getting Close

Written by bigpicture on

From: getthebigpicture.net

When Bruce Campbell portrayed a still-living Elvis in Bubba Ho-Tep, it was a rite of passage for one of the coolest guys in the business. You could see him playing Elvis many years earlier without the benefit of the sequined jumpsuit. But he decided not to return to director Don Coscareli's sequel, which is scheduled to follow the original in 2011, some nine years after Elvis and a black JFK first came into our lives from their retirement home.

So who do you get to play a perfect Bruce Campbell role if Campbell isn't available? Well, I wouldn't immediated think Hellboy, but yes, Ron Perlman has signed on for Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires, and he says there's a good chance it could start filming soon.

“I’ll be done shooting [the cable series] Sons of Anarchy in September, and we’re hoping to get into production on Bubba in my hiatus between seasons two and three," Perlman tells Fangoria. "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.”
