Campbell a Dark Horse

Bruce ("Evil Dead", "Army of Darkness") Campbell recently announced that the comic book director's cut of his upcoming film "Man with the Screaming Brain" will be released through Dark Horse.

Man with the Screaming Brain tells the story of a wealthy American businessman determined to exploit the crippled economy of a former Soviet state now torn between communist roots and capitalist greed. Campbell’s character hits on the wrong gypsy girl and lands in the grip of a mad scientist determined to get rich off a twisted brain-transplant scheme worthy of Dr. Frankenstein. This “director’s cut” of the script is the version that Campbell wanted to shoot before budgetary constraints forced him to scale back his vision.

What do you think of this idea? I think it's pretty cool that he'll be able to get to do the story that he really wanted to tell, even if it's in a different format. Personally, I love Bruce, but I'm not sure whether I'd read his comics or not.
