Lou Ferrigno is set to play a murderous, cannibalistic pig farmer known as “The Hermit” in U.S.-based Italian director Salvatore Sclafani’s chiller of the same title that will mark Ferrigno’s first role playing a creature since CBS TV series “The Incredible Hulk.”
Shooting is set to start in August in Syracuse, N.Y., on the horror film with an undercurrent of fun and quirky irony that will see Ferrigno making and selling jerky made of human flesh.
“Most people are surprised that I’ve never really entered the horror space before now,” Ferrigno said in a statement for Variety. “When I was a kid I was fascinated with the monsters of the time like Dracula and Frankenstein.
“So I am really excited and honored to be working with such a great team on something that will for sure excite fans. The character I am playing is...

Dylan Sprouse has a criteria for choosing projects and roles, and the character-driven film Tyger Tyger from first-time feature director and writer Kerry Mondragon ticked every box.
At first glance, the film explores drug addiction, but as Sprouse explains to The Hollywood Reporter, it goes much deeper into experiential addiction — how an addiction to love and life itself makes this particular character, the one Sprouse inhabits, an addict.
The story, in which Mondragon shaped using his own personal experience with drugs, sees Sprouse kidnapped by a young woman (Sam Quartin) and whisked away to distribute medication to those on the fringes of society. The ...

Kerry Mondragon's indie drama thriller and feature film debut Tyger Tyger, starring Dylan Sprouse - looking to make a clean break from anything Disney related - and Sam Quartin (Let Me Make You a Martyr), is being released by Gravitas Ventures in select theaters, drive-ins, digital/VOD on February 26th. They have released a trailer for Tyger Tyger, which you will find below with a collection of stills from the production. The trailer's breakneck assembly gives glimpses of Maondragon's elevated style, though there is little sense of what the story is about in it.

"I will find a way, I will figure it out, I will help you - I promise!" Gravitas has released the official trailer for the indie drama Tyger Tyger, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Kerry Mondragon. This is described as a "pandemic fantasy-thriller" and/or "stylized indie drama". A selfless woman and her mute friend kidnap a drug addict after robbing a pharmacy then hit the road to distribute the "life saving" medication, but find themselves trapped in the fringe lands of a law-less psychedelic city in a life-or-death adventure. Sounds crazy! Love the poster art, but that's about it. Tyger Tyger stars Dylan Sprouse, Sam Quartin, Eden Brolin, Craig Stark, Max Madsen, and Barbara Palvin. This looks rather trippy and vibrant, not necessarily in a good way, but maybe there's something interesting going on here. Have a look. Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Kerry Mondragon's Tyger Tyger,...
