Phantasm a No GoBy Rafe Telsch: 2005-10-27 00:00:00
Don Coscarelli is the man horror genre fans want to keep up with. He’s got not one, not two, but three cult successes under his belt, with fans waiting anxiously for additional chapters to come whenever Coscarelli gets the itch (and the funding) to make more. Well, Icons of Fright caught up with Coscarelli at the NYC Horror Film Festival and got word on two of those franchises.
First of all, Coscarelli put to rest the rumors of a new Phantasm trilogy. While the possibility of more “Tall Man” did at one point exist, word got out before the deal was finalized. For reasons unknown, the deal is now off, so no more silver spheres to haunt fans for now. On the more recent front, Coscarelli states he still wants to do a sequel to Bubba Ho Tep and that Bruce Campbell is “rarin’ to go again”. This is interesting since Bruce has been saying the contrary during recent promotional tours for The Man with the Screaming Brain. The studio that financed Bubba Ho Tep is no more, so some money will have to exchange hands before a sequel could become possible anyway. Personally, I’m writing this up to an ambitious writer/director who doesn’t have a project yet, but wants to keep that spark of hope alive with the fans. No news on the Beastmaster front, but hey, news on two out of three franchises is pretty good.
