FEARnet Gets Coscarelli Talking
FEARnet?s Joe McCabe spoke with Don Coscarelli for this FEARnet exclusive! See what Coscarelli has to say about a possible Phantasm sequel and the latest news on the highly anticipated Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires sequel to Bubba Ho-Tep. This is just a teaser of what?s to come, expect the full interview early next week.
Regarding a Phantasm sequel:
?One would think that after making four movies of Phantasm, it would be enough for one lifetime. That being said, I love working with these actors. I?m definitely interested in another one. I?d actually thought that part 4 pretty well wrapped it all up, but I?ve been notified by fans that there are still a few loose ends that need to be explained. We actually have a script that I like a lot. It?s something that I really hope to do some time in the near future. I?m a little tied up right now, because I?ve been working on the Bubba Ho Tep sequel, which looks like it?s really coming together now. I know Angus [Scrimm] has just been cast in a few movies, so he?ll be busy for the next few months. I don?t know if it?s gonna happen right away, but it?s definitely something we?re interested in talking about.?
On Bubba Nosferatu:
?The screenplay is finished. It?s great. I?m very happy with it. It expands the storyline of the character. It gives plenty of opportunities for Elvis to continue kicking undead ass. And it also explores more young Elvis than the original did. We cover both periods of his life. But focus a little more on 1973 and some really crazy events that went down in Elvis?s career at that time.
?So the script is done. We have a lot of interest in the funding. And I?m just nailing down this week how it?s going to be made. So I fully anticipate shooting it this year. That?s my goal. It will be called Bubba Nosferatu with the subtitle Curse of the She- Vampires. There will be many she-vampires, so it?s gonna be fun. It?s definitely cool.?
