Cult cinema icon Bruce Campbell is making a cross-country trek, but he won\u2019t be screening The Evil Dead. Instead, he is skipping traditional distribution to bring his newest film, Ernie & Emma<\/a>, directly to the people.<\/p>\n

The actor will be in San Antonio on October 3 for a showing at Alamo Drafthouse Stone Oak<\/a> (22806 US-281 N). The tour features a behind-the-scenes conversation with Campbell and a live Q&A.<\/p>\n

Ernie & Emma may be a surprise for viewers who are used to his oddball horror comedies like Bubba Ho-Tep. The film \u2014 entirely scripted, directed, produced, and funded by Campbell and his wife, Ida Gearon \u2014 is billed as a romantic comedy, albeit one with a little edge.<\/p>\n

The story follows Ernie Tyler, a rural pear salesman mourning the loss of his beloved wife. Guided by a detailed list of instructions Emma Tyler left before her death, Ernie sets off on a life-changing road trip. You can watch the trailer below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The story hits close to home for the comic-con legend. It was filmed in Pear Valley near his Oregon home, and he reportedly based<\/a> Ernie\u2019s character on his dad. Campbell has also had to contemplate his own mortality after a March cancer diagnosis. On X, he described <\/a>the cancer as \u201ctreatable\u201d but not \u201ccurable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly special to share this film with audiences across the nation. Getting to bring it directly to communities and experience those conversations in real time is the reason you make something like this in the first place,\u201d said Campbell in a release. \u201cLoss is universal, and so is the challenge of finding your way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ticketing information and times for the screening will be announced at a later date. Still, audiences will have several chances to see the star, who canceled his usual convention schedule to focus on the tour and his health. Besides San Antonio, Ernie & Emma will screen at the following Texas Alamo Drafthouse locations:<\/p>\n
