What??? Cool……….
Wow. Surprising. But, cool. More Bruce Campbell is always good.
I agree. Bruce Campbell is awesome!
SAM AXE RULES!!!!
I have loved Bruce Campbell for such a long time…a great talent!
Awesome!
If Matt Nix is involved, as I assume he is, then this is going to be good. Good For Bruce, glad to see the Chin getting his due.
Awesome!!!! Love Sam Axe!
Now all we need is a flashback episode about Mike and Fi in Ireland….
Or just Fi herself!
only if he gets some coaching for his irish accent first!
Is the movie actually starring Bruce Campbell or is it a movie about Sam Axe during his Navy Seals days? You know, what with the probable age difference, especially since we know what he looked like back then. Or maybe just when he and Michael met from Sam’s point of view?
From TVSquad: Look for the movie to follow Campbell’s Sam Axe during his last days of military service and show how he ends up where he is today on ‘Burn Notice.’
Epic!!!!
Is this a TV movie or a theatrical movie? I am assuming TV Movie, but am I wrong?
Ah, new update clarifies. Thanks.
Is this a straight to DVD movie that will get an air date on TV down the line?
Love Bruce Campbell but only like the Sam Axe character in support role…interesting to see how this one turns out.
Awesome news. Hopefully they’ll include some sort of flashback cameo with Michael and Fiona too.
I’m all for a prequel staring Bruce Campbell then again I’ll watch anything with him in it.
Very excited about this news! I have loved Bruce since way back in his Hercules day! He was just a funny back then as he is now. Can’t wait to see what the final product looks like
Kewl! Maybe they’ll also make a solo Fi movie about her time as a terrorist before she “reformed.”
