MY NAME IS BRUCE SYNOPSIS

My Name is Bruce is the heroic struggle of a small mining town (Gold Lick, Oregon) to rid itself of a vengeful monster. Guan-di (Jamie Peck), the Chinese god of war and protector of the dead, has been unleashed by cemetery desecrating teenagers to protect the graves of Chinese miners lost in a deadly cave-in of yesteryear. The deadly demon's mission is to eradicate all those who transgressed against the tomb (relatives included), which is virtually the entire population of Gold Lick. The inbred community has to find a solution so Jeff (Taylor Sharpe), the sole survivor of a deadly Guan-Di encounter, takes it upon himself to kidnap his idol, Bruce Campbell (Bruce Campbell), star of countless B-movie horror films, and recruit him to be their local saviour.

But Jeff's scheme goes horribly wrong when his hero, known more for fighting directors than mythical warriors, haphazardly leads the town in battle against Guan-Di. Confronted by a monster that's not a guy in a rubber suit, and with the blood of innocents on his hands, Bruce abandons the harsh reality of Gold Lick for the sanctity of his former, artificial life.

In his ramshackle desert trailer, Bruce resumes the daily grind of genre sequels, poor housekeeping and cheap whiskey, but a gut-wrenching call from his biggest fan, Jeff- now forced to take on Guan-Di alone - prompts the actor to re-evaluate his destiny. Against his better judgement (and the angry citizens of Gold Lick), Bruce returns to defeat Guan-Di, save Jeff, and snag his hot mother. In the climactic, mano-a-monster, Bruce tries to rise above the miserable, off-screen schmuck that he is and become a hero'in real life.

Be afraid, Gold Lick - be very afraid.

BRUCE CAMPBELL BIOGRAPHY

In 1979, with his Detroit friends, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, Bruce raised $350,000 for a low budget film, Evil Dead, in which he starred and Co-Executive Produced. Completed piecemeal over four years, the film first gained notoriety in England where it became the best-selling video of 1983, beating out The Shining. After its appearance at Cannes, where Stephen King dubbed it 'the most ferociously original horror film of the year', New Line Cinema stepped forward to release Evil Dead in the U.S.

After Co-Producing Crimewave, a cross-genre comedy written by Sam Raimi, Ethan and Joel Coen, Bruce moved to Los Angeles and quickly gained a foothold producing or starring in genre films such as the Maniac Cop series, Lunatics: A Love Story, Moontrap, and Mindwarp, a post-apocalyptic Jeremiah Johnson, during which he met his wife-to-be, filmmaker Ida Gearon.

Bruce then rejoined his Detroit colleagues to star and Co-Produce

the second and third films in the Evil Dead trilogy, completing twelve years of work on the cult favorite. This rough-and-tumble background was a plus as Bruce made his foray into television, first starring in the highly touted Fox series The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., then as a recurring guest-star on the hit show Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. With these under his belt, Bruce easily made the transition to Director, helming numerous episodes and recurring as the King of Thieves in the #1 syndicated Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and its follow-up phenomenon, Xena: Warrior Princess. Bruce has since expanded his range on television, with appearances in Disney's TV movies Gold Rush, and their update of The Love Bug. He teamed up with Fox again for the hit TV film Tornado! and starred in NBC's top-rated In the Line of Duty: Blaze of Glory. At the invitation of ABC, Bruce ventured into the world of sit-coms with a recurring role on ABC's Emmy-nominated Ellen, participating in one of the three touted "Out" episodes. Following decidedly dramatic turns on the acclaimed series Homicide, and X-Files, Bruce enjoyed a recurring role on Showtime?s edgy TV industry comedy, Beggars and Choosers.

But Bruce didn't abandon his film roots. During that time, he had featured roles in the blockbuster Congo, John Carpenter's Escape from LA, and the award-winning independent crime drama, Running Time. Bruce followed these up with roles in Paramount's romantic comedy, Serving Sara, Jim Carrey's The Majestic, and Sam Raimi's blockbuster Spider-Man series.

After a return to episodic television in the swashbuckling series, Jack of all Trades, Bruce took the title role in MGM's cult sleeper Bubba Ho-Tep. His directorial debut, Man with the Screaming Brain recently premiered on the Sci Fi Channel, and Dark Horse Comics published the comic adaptation. Bruce's most recent projects include the fun-filled Disney hit, Sky High, Spider-man III and USA?s new hit TV show, Burn Notice.

Recently, Bruce made the leap into other forms of entertainment, and is enjoying his new role as an author with back-to-back NY Times bestsellers - a memoir entitled If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor, and his first novel, Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way. In the multi-media industry, Bruce provided voices on cutting edge video games for Activision, THQ and Nova Logic - and he also enjoyed voicing characters for Disney's animated TV series, Tarzan, and the upcoming feature for Warner Brothers, The Ant Bully.

Bruce continues to share his filmmaking experience, lecturing at universities which include Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon and Stanford. He currently resides with his wife, Ida Gearon, in Oregon.

TED RAIMI BIOGRAPHY

Theodore (Ted) Raimi, a native of Detroit, is the youngest of four Raimi children. The eldest brother is Ivan Raimi, a doctor, whose writing credits include Army of Darkness and Darkman and who had co-creator credit for the recent TV series Spy Game. The middle brother is the famous Sam Raimi; producer, director, actor, screenwriter, and co-founder of Renaissance Pictures.

Young Ted got the acting bug as a child when he would appear as an extra in Sam's early Super-8 and feature films (including Sam's first hit The Evil Dead). He briefly attended Michigan State University, then went to the University of New York and finally to the University of Detroit. He started his career by appearing in a series of industrial films in the Motor City. He arrived in Los Angeles in 1988 to attempt to break into the Hollywood film scene...and lodge with Sam. He landed in his first role outside of his brother's movies in a feature film called Shocker in 1989. He then had a role in Darkman as a bad goon under Durant. A year

later he had his first starring role in Lunatics: A Love Story, directed by long-time family friend, Josh Becker. Lunatics: A Love Story, directed by long-time family friend, Josh Becker. The first film he appeared in that received much commercial success was the Tom Clancy thriller Patriot Games, starring Harrison Ford in which Ted played a satellite analyst in the CIA, a minor role he later reprised in Clear and Present Danger. His other motion picture credits include Hard Target, Candyman, Born Yesterday, Forced Exposure, Stuart Saves His Family and For Love of the Game. The ultimate Ted-spotting flick is Army of Darkness (a.k.a. Evil Dead III) in which Ted takes on at least four minor roles. Ted's second starring role was in the horror thriller Skinner made in 1995. He plays the title character, Dennis Skinner, a disturbingly nice serial killer.

Ted has also had a number of television appearances. He has had guest starring roles on series such as Baywatch, Twin Peaks and Alf. He had a small but very memorable scene in Alien Nation as a chatty alien in the episode "Chains of Love". He also had a major guest-starring role in one American Gothic episode. Of his nearly 75 movie and television appearances, however, he is probably best known for his recurring roles on seaQuest DSV (later seaQuest 2032) as Lt. Tim O'Neill, and Xena: Warrior Princess as Joxer the Mighty.
