A sequel to Bubba Ho-Tep could go ahead, it was revealed today.

In the first film, which is currently showing in some UK cinemas, an aged Elvis Presley battles to protect his old people's home from mummies with the power of sucking the souls out of the elderly.

Director Don Coscarelli told Yahoo Movies that the film's star Bruce Campbell could soon be back for another adventure.

He said, "Things are looking quite good. MGM was very happy with the results in the States, the UK's looking very solid, there's a lot of fan interest in it - and Bruce would love to play some more of the old hound dog!"
