Horror Legend Campbell Plans Expendables Horror

Horror favourite Bruce Campbell seems to think that Sly Stallone was obviously onto something with The Expendables – and it got him thinking about a horror version.

The present star of TV series Burn Notice, Campbell is best known as the blood-splattered hero of the beloved Evil Dead movies, as well as any number of other cult projects.

Now, the actor and sometime-director fancies following Stallone’s lead by staging an Expendables-style horror that unites all the greats in the same movie for the first time.

“I want to have Kane Hodder (who played Jason Voorhees) to be very particular about what he eats,” he tells the LA Times. “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.”

In fact this is far from a daydream with Campbell saying that there’s even a script going around, which he says is not quite ready yet.

“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.”

Campbell would seemingly be one of few men to be able to pull this off., so here’s hoping he makes it happen.
