On June 5th Bruce Campbell makes his triumphant return to The Redford Theatre!
Will you be there?
Actor, writer, and filmmaker Bruce Campbell describes his latest project as “a Disney movie with drugs, alcohol, swearing, and implied infidelity.”
Entirely scripted, directed, produced, and funded by Campbell and his wife, Ida Gearon, Ernie & Emma makes its Detroit debut on June 5 at the Redford Theatre — the same venue that premiered The Evil Dead in 1981, launching Campbell’s enduring role as demon-fighting horror hero Ash Williams and his subsequent film and television career. The Royal Oak native plans to host a live Q&A post-screening, and tickets are just $25.
The film follows Ernie Tyler, a pear salesman grieving the death of his wife, Emma. She leaves him a set of letters instructing him to scatter her ashes across locations tied to their relationship. On a journey both comedic and poignant, Ernie comes to terms with loss, reconciles with the past, and finds a way forward.
Free from studio oversight, Campbell’s first directorial effort since My Name Is Bruce in 2007 is also his most personal.
