When it comes to the new "Boggy Creek" movie it would be wise to drop the tag "remake" and instead refer to the film as 'inspired by' instead.
In a recent article in the Texarkana Gazette, written by Aaron Brand, the film's director, Brian T. Jaynes, revealed that his movie would be very different from the Charles B. Pierce classic in most respects. In fact his film wouldn't even be about the same monster.
Yes, its true, the legendary Fouke Monster, which was the basis for the original "Boggy Creek", and it's two sequels, will be replaced by a moss covered half-man-half-creature of Caddo Indian mythology.
The director explains, "We wanted something that is a little more ominous" and "essentially our story revolves around five young kids who've been friends all their lives."
Jaynes also gave some insight into his human characters stating that they would, ".......inspire either love or hate."
That probably means that you will be rooting for the monster.........whatever it is.
From these revelations, it is easy to see that Jaynes is hoping to draw attention to his film by slapping the name "Boggy Creek" on it, although the film will be nothing like it's namesake. I really hate when film makers do that!
Filming for "Boggy Creek" is set to begin in the area of Caddo Lake near Jefferson, Texas this week.
I don't know about you, but there is a part of me that wants to good old "Swamp Stalker of Boggy Creek" to show up and show Jaynes just how 'ominous' he can be!
