After the monumental success of Jaws back in 1975 there has been a regular films about animals running amok but perhaps the one animal we’ve not had a creature feature about is the hippo. Well that box has now been ticked with the arrival of the Hungry trailer
The focuses on a group of holidaymakers who must fight for their lives against a rampaging hippo on the loose after becoming lost in the Louisiana swamplands.
Directed by James Nunn, whose previous films include ‘One More Shot’ and ‘Shark Bait’ the films stars Joaquim de Almeida (“Road House”), Tracey Bonner (“The Exorcism”), Jim Meskimen (“Apollo 13”), Samantha Coughlan (“Damage”), Olivia Bernstone (“Mood”) Michel Curiel (“She Hulk: Attorney At Law”) and River Codack (“Under the Bridge”).
Now hippos are regarded as pretty daft and docile which could not be further from the truth. Highly territorial and very aggressive they reportedly kill more than 500 people per year which is far more than lions and elephants. So quite why they have not had a creature feature made about them before is anyone’s guess.
The film makers have called on the expertise of award-winning MUFX designer Dan Martin (“Possessor,” “The Banshees of Inisherin”) and VFX company Magic Dust VFX (“One Piece,” “True Detective: Night Country”) to create their creature.
Hungry opens on 23rd June in the US with a UK date to be confirmed
