“Oh, yeah, they like the gore at Sci Fi Channel,” he tells Fango, “which is surprising. Working on other shows, they’ll be like, ‘Less guts, less gore,’ but on these it’s, ‘OK, half-eaten bodies everywhere!’ ”
…..
TROGLODYTE, “which is a complete gorefest,” Nicholson laughs. “It’s about a water-born creature that hatches from almost like a frog egg, and people start dying in this town by the lake. People get eaten by the big trog, and then there are these baby ones as well. It’s very similar to LOCH NESS TERROR, in the sense that Nessie had these babies that wreaked havoc too. The baby trogs have these long tongues, so we were wrapping them around people’s necks and using hand puppets and doing all this gruesome stuff. That’s the great thing about Paul as a director; we’ll be in meetings, and people will say ‘CGI,’ and he’ll be like, ‘No, no, I want puppets’; he likes having them in action with the actors, and we can also work with the CGI in conjunction with that.”
Sounds like Humanoids from the Deep on steroids! Let’s hope it lives up to the hype.
