3 More Questions with
Bruce Campbell
Only one "3 Questions"
installment with fan-favorite character actor Bruce Campbell
just wouldn't be enough, would it? That's why CINESCAPE is happy
to present part two of our discussion with Bruce, who's currently
hard at work
in New Zealand on his new adventure series, Jack of All Trades.
And he seems to be taking the show's title to heart--along with
starring in and
co-producing Jack, Campbell is writing a book about low-budget
filmmaking, Confessions of a B-movie Actor, and
directing a short documentary on die-hard genre fans called Fanalysis.
Here's Campbell's update on all his projects:
Cinescape: Does Jack of
All Trades' half-hour format mean that the shooting schedule
is a little less hectic than the schedules for Xena and
Hercules, shows which you frequently appeared on as a
guest-star and director?
Bruce Campbell: No, it's exactly the same heavy load
on a day-to-day basis, we just finish our season sooner, which
is all part of my master plan to actually have a life. I'll be
in New Zealand 6 months out of the year, then I can wander the
earth as I see fit after that. The normal TV schedule is nine
months, so I'm getting off easy this time.
When can fans expect to see
your documentary, Fanalysis? Will it be released theatrically
or straight to video?
It's being edited right now and
will be done later this year. I hope to release it with my book
this fall, but that can't be confirmed yet. It'll be about a
half hour long, so when it's done, I'll have to see who wants
it.
How is your book, Confessions
of a B-movie Actor, coming along? When do you expect it
to come out? How do you find the time to write?
I just turned in a second draft
of the book. Now, we'll edit it down and go through the tech
process. It's due through St. Martin's press this fall. As far
as the time to write the darned thing, I've just had to use my
time well over a very long period.
Let's break the rules a bit
and ask you a fourth question: We're dying to know whatever happened
to Roc Sandstorm? Does he have any projects in the works?
Roc isn't me--that has been falsely
attributed to me via the Internet. I'm sure he's a swell guy.
