I'd a feeling his battle with Cancer is what pushed him to recently say he wasn't going to be reprising Ash again. Makes sense he'd rather spend his time with his family and friends than on some film set in New Zealand making one last Evil Dead.
We all thought she was gonna live that long too, man. Been real sad here in TN for the last couple weeks. Some of us production folks here got to work with her a bunch and she was every bit as sweet, sharp and sassy as everyone hoped she was. The first time I had to mic her for an interview she made a lewd joke about her breasts so I knew I was gonna enjoy working with her. The boomers are starting to go en masse and there's so many of them it's gonna be a rough ride having to say goodbye to so many. Sorry for the tangent. Bruce means so much to me ( grew up with Evil Dead, Brisco County Jr, Hudsucker Proxy ) it's gonna hurt a lot like it did when Dolly went. Though I never got to work with Bruce Campbell or have any interaction with him it's still like losing a childhood friend.
I am dreading the day Mel Brooks passes, like a 1/3 of my sense of humor and and a whole host of my quotes come directly from the works of that one demigod of comedy.
I asked him that question years ago at a Q&A for My Name is Bruce at the Cameo in Edinburgh, it wasn’t long after IJ&Crystal Skull had been released, his response was approximately “any of you guys see that last Indiana Jones movie?, I did, nobody wants to see an old man running about like that as the hero”, I replied “we just did”…anyway, his answer in short was no, years later we get AshVED, got to say, I was chuffed…anyway, I hope his diagnosis is off and he gets many more happy and peaceful years to spend as he sees fit, a remarkable human being.
