First Look at the Awesome Practical Monster from Aussie Flick ‘Boar’
Giant monster pig on a rampage. Sign us right the hell up.
Recently picked up for distribution by Universal Pictures Australia, director Chris Sun’s Boar should be getting a release date any day now; in the meantime, we wanted to share some first look photos of the insanely cool looking beast at the center of it.
According to Sun, the giant boar will be brought to the screen using “80-85% practical FX and 15-20% VFX,” with the practical version of the monster measuring an incredible 14-feet long and 8-feet tall. CGI is only being utilized to “help him move and look as realistic as possible.”
Sun explains further, “When designing the beast for Boar I wanted to make him look as evil as possible, still have some normal wild pig elements to him – but lets be honest this is MOVIE LAND and we are making a horror film about a giant killer pig, so it was important we made him look terrifying for you creature feature fans out there.”
Check out an early look at Boar‘s hulking beast below!
Set in outback Australia…
Lurking within this picturesque setting is a dark and terrifying threat – a beast of staggering size with an uncontrollable desire for blood and destruction. Driven by its insatiable appetite for carnage, it defends its territory with brutal force and savagely takes on any who get in its way.
The cast includes Wolf Creek‘s John Jarratt, Melissa Tkautz, Hugh Sheridan, Nathan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road), Bill Moseley (Devil’s Rejects, House of 1,000 Corpses), Ernie Dingo, Simone Buchanan, Roger Ward, Steve Bisely, Ricci Guarnaccio and Emily Williams.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
