Straight from fangoria.com, look out for this new film that's in the works. A good friend Bryonn Bain, New York lawyer-activist-poet and now actor plays a key role in this movie. We're all very proud to see his talents rise up to the big screen. . .
With Jim (SKINWALKERS) Isaac’s latest horror romp PIG HUNT wrapped, the director sent Fango a slew of exclusive pics from the flick, which details the exploits of a massive (and massively) homicidal boar known as “The Ripper†and the various eccentric denizens of the remote northern California town it terrorizes. Bloody good stuff, to be sure, and PIG HUNT screenwriter/co-producer Robert Mailer Anderson assures us there will be even more on display in the finished film.
“One of the goals of PIG HUNT is to examine death, and why people kill, so there will be a fair amount of gore,†Anderson tells Fango, “but it isn’t ‘torture porn.’ PIG HUNT is old-school terror, like DELIVERANCE or STRAW DOGS—except, of course,†he notes playfully, “for the ‘Abu Ghraib’ setpiece, and our 3,000-pound wild hog, and the dead emus, and the decapitation, and the gunplay.â€
Filmed from April 23-June 6 in Boonville, CA “and three days in San Francisco, including a day at Kerner Optical [formerly ILM Special Effects],†PIG HUNT also employed the talents of 2nd-unit director Justin Sundquist and “action heroes Spiro [MANIAC COP 2] Razatos and Igor [BOURNE ULTIMATUM] Meglic, who made our ROAD WARRIOR-esque action sequences doubly intense,†Anderson says. “Rex Reddick rode his dirt bike like a man possessed, or a meth addict redneck hell-bent on revenge—like the script called for!â€

But I will say that it’s past time for men of color who consider themselves allies to women of color, who recognize that their freedom can’t come at the expense the women who share their history, to meditate on and interact with the words, the ideas, the actions of the women of their communities. It’s time for them to contemplate something deeper and more profound than “rape=badâ€â€“it’s time for them to look at their own roles in the creation of “race=male,†and why it is that every woman of color I have read, talked to, interacted with, watched, heard of, all have an extremely thoughtful critique of various issues like Tookie Williams, Leonard Peltier, hip hop, Abu Ghraib, suicide bombers, lynching, etc etc etc–and yet most men of color don’t even know that Latinas, black women, and Native women are ALL disproportionately imprisoned compared to their white counter parts. Or that Asian women are committing suicide in frightening numbers. Or that our work around rape extends well beyond a “no means no†campaign. Or that the women men do organize with have all probably been on some type of harmful birth control at one point or another. And they’ve all also probably carefully weighed their words at some point or another–considered how they could say something in the “right wayâ€.
It’s time for men to contemplate this in meaningful, thoughtful and transparent ways, with other men of color, with boys of color, with the men that call us bitch, cunt, vendida, traitor, thundercunts, ho’s, nappy headed, ugly.
It’s time to push this thing to the next level, to put your money where your mouth is.
It’s time to push this to the next level, so we ALL can be free.
