An Iconic Giant Torments Teenagers in Director Gary Jones’ Bunyan

I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone associated with the genre felt the inexplicable need to transform the iconic folk hero Paul Bunyan into a horror movie monster. Director Gary Jones — who is largely responsible for such legendary outings as “Spiders” and “Boogeyman 3″ — is in the middle of lensing his upcoming production “Bunyan”, a motion picture which finds a group of teenagers battling a 15-foot giant with a penchant for murder and mayhem. Robert Kurtzman’s Creature Corps is handling the effects. No word yet if Bunyan’s trusty blue ox will make an appearance, though I wouldn’t bank on it.

“Bunyan” stars Joe Estevez, Tom Downey, Tim Lovelace, Jesse Kove, Amber Connor, Cliff Williams, Victoria Ramos, Kristina Kopf, and Jill Evyn. A handful of pics rest below. Thanks to Shock Till You Drop for providing the goodies.




About
Todd was raised on a steady diet of Hollywood blockbusters, late-night Cinemax programming, and USA’s “Up All Night,” which may explain why his taste in movies is more than a little questionable. When he isn’t providing news and reviews for Beyond Hollywood, he can be found lounging lazily on his couch, perched in front of his television, or dwelling in places where direct sunlight can be easily avoided. He's happily married, in his 30's, and totally badass. If you'd like to reach Todd, you can follow him on Twitter or send him email/scoops to todd@beyondhollywood.com.

    Really? Title sounds like a podiatrist horror flick. LoL. But no, really?!!? Where does a 15ft tall murderous giant live? Where does he hide when he’s sneaking up on people? I mean he can’t hide behind a tree. i guess he could pretend to BE a tree. This just sounds so ridiculous.

    Back in the 80′s, there was a slasher called “Humongous”, which featured a group of teenagers who are tormented by a monstrous giant who lives all by his lonesome on an island. It’s as goofy as it sounds, and I suspect that “Bunyan” will have a lot in common with it. And, yes, it sounds ridiculous.

    Lmao. That does sound silly. But at least the island part makes some sense.
