Last week brought news that Paul Giamatti was interested in participating in the Bubba Ho-Tep sequel. Rotten Tomatoes reported

"Bruce Campbell was waffling around about whether he wants to play Elvis or not again. So that’s the problem," said Giamatti.

Word comes this week that it looks like the movie will not happen with Campbell's involvement.

"[BUBBA NOSFERATU] is dead to me," Campbell said flatly. "It sleeps with the fishes. Don Coscarelli is a very passionate filmmaker. We got to a few points [developing the screenplay] that we couldn’t reconcile. I want to keep our friendship, so we parted ways. So I’m not part of that project."

"Dead to me." That seems to be a "no." No word yet if the project will continue without Bruce's involvment, but with Giamatti expressing interest, that may be enough to push a green light at the studio.
