Why ‘The Last Stop in Yuma County’ Filmmaker Francis Galluppi is Perfect for ‘Evil Dead’: ‘I Have Three Necronomicons On My Desk’
Francis Galluppi talks directing 'The Last Stop in Yuma County' starring Jim Cummings and his upcoming 'Evil Dead' spin-off.
Shot in 20 days on a budget of “about a million” dollars, the film is set almost entirely at road stop diner in an unspecified past era where traveling salesmen and rotary phones are still prevalent. As patrons await the arrival of a gas truck, the establishment soon becomes populated with an ensemble of independent film legends, including Jim Cummings as a knife salesman, Jocelin Donahue as a waitress and Richard Brake and Nicholas Logan as bank robbers trying (and failing) to keep a low profile. That includes genre legend Barbra Crampton as a sheriff’s secretary and Sierra McCormick, who impressed him with her one-take scene in “The Vast of Night.” He even wrote Donahue’s role with her in mind, despite not knowing her personally.
