Bruce Campbell on Cult Stardom and Being His Own Director
Playing with himself
One of the issues My Name Is Bruce raises is that, as new generations of fans discover his movies, Campbell is starting to find some of their moms pretty attractive. It weirds him out a bit in the movie, but less so in real life. “It’s great,” he says, “because it gives you something to look at at conventions, y’know?” Unfortunately, it’s usually just the dads who show up. “I do have to say, it’s unnerving — I’m 50 now — to see a 50-year-old guy come up to the table, ’cause I go, ‘Oh ... you’re me!’ For one of my Sci Fi Channel movies, the channel sent me the breakdowns of all the demographics, and the key demographic they were going for in the slot they put it in was 50 years old, because they figure, that’s the perfect man, who’s sitting home on a Saturday night. If he was younger, he’d be out, but now he goes, ‘Forget it, I’m not going anywhere, you guys have fun.’ I’m appearing in a movie for guys like me. Demographics can play head games.”
My Name Is Bruce opens on December 19 at the Nuart. For a review, see Opening This Week.
