Les Claypool

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.”

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!”
