| Jeffrey Combs on Beyond Re-Animator After several years of planning on the part of director / producer Brian Yuzna, the third Re-Animator film is ready to begin shooting in Spain for Yuzna and Julio Fernandez's Fantastic Factory productioon company. Surprisingly series star Jeffery Combs was had not commited to the sequel untill recently. "I have for three-plus years denied that I have a deal for Beyond Re-Animator," Combs states. "It goes to show you that the internet can give you bad information. The Internet Movie Database had stated as fact that I am doing it and, up until this point, I could not say that it was true. But it looks like we're getting ever closer to my doing it now. I don't have a deal memo yet, but we're now agreeing on some things that up until now we had not agreed upon, if you catch my drift." "So we are getting close to Beyond Re-Animator happening, but it has been kind of frustrating for me," Combs continues. "My desire on this project all along was to be in on it and involved from the ground floor. For whatever reasons, that has not happened, much to my chagrin. At this point I am going to show up and do what i can rather than be part of the whole creative process. But it looks like it is coming together." Reported by Fangoria on August 8th At the press junket for FEARDOTCOM, Jeffrey Combs, who co-stars with Stephen Droff in the film announced that he would "probably be on a plane next week" headed for Barcelona to shoot Beyond Re-Animator. "The premise of it is that Dan Cain turned state's evidence and Herbert West has been in prison this whole time," explains Combs. "But, on the night that he was taken by the police at the end of the last movie, there was a young boy in a camp-out in his backyard, and without giving too much away, I, surreptitiously dropped some of my fluid - not my bodily fluid - my re-animating fluid on the ground before I'm put into the police car. So, this boy - you jump-cut and he's now grown and has gone to medical school and has pulled some strings to be assigned to be the phyician at the prison so that he can connect up with the infamous Dr. West and get to the bottom of what exactly this is." His long incarnation has not changed Dr. West. "I think Herbert is something of a guy who just dosen't change, frankly," Combs admits. "I think he's in a relentless pursuit of whatever it is and I think it's just a matter of overcoming whatever obstacles are in front of him, so needless to say, through he's in prison, I still think he's pursuing new avenues of his work and has new theories on how he can improve upon what he's trying to do. On the other hand, what I want to explore is there has to be a certain element of frustration and anger at being incarcerated for so long - unjustly, i might add!" Joining Jeffrey Combs in the movie will be Danny Nucci playing the young doctor. Combs is optimistic about the film's chances of a theatrical release. "I think it's theatrical in some places in the world, certainly Spain, but U.S., that's what Brian (Yuzna)'s hope is , that it would get a theatrical release, but whether or not it will is up to how good it is, I guess" Combs says.
