Bubba Nosferatu Gets A New Elvis
Cinema Blend News — ... Lets be honest - the loss of Campbell was a near-fatal hit for the movie, since it was Campbell’s attachment that originally drew so many people to the first movie. Bubba Nosferatu is still moving forward, with near A-lister Paul Giamatti still signed on to play Col. Parker, the famed agent to Elvis.
