‘The Hermit’ – First Look at Lou Ferrigno as a Cannibal Pig Farmer in New Horror Movie
Known for his starring role in the original “The Incredible Hulk” TV series back in the 1970s, Lou Ferrigno is next making his way into the horror genre with upcoming film The Hermit.
Variety has shared the first images and details this morning.
In the film from director Salvatore Sclafani, “Dragged on a vacation to the woods, two self-absorbed teens venture off trail, stumble across a farm, go in, see animal heads hanging from the wall and fight for their lives against an unstoppable cannibal pig farmer.”
Malina Weissman (“A Series of Unfortunate Events”) and Anthony Turpel (Bloody Bridget) co-star alongside Lou Ferrigno in The Hermit, which is now in post-production.
Scatena & Rosner Films has acquired worldwide rights to the horror movie.
“We are very excited to have this film and its team in the S&R family,” Scatena & Rosner’s Jordan Rosner said in a statement. “On a personal note, I’ve been a fan of Lou’s since childhood, and seeing him bring such a compelling performance to the horror genre is very exciting.”
The next installment in the Jurassic World franchise continues to build its main cast, with THR reporting tonight that Rupert Friend (Asteroid City) is the latest actor to sign on.
He’ll join the previously announced Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer), and Jonathan Bailey (Wicked) in the franchise’s next film.
Gareth Edwards (2014’s Godzilla, The Creator) will be directing the new installment, with original Jurassic Park writer David Koepp returning to write the screenplay.
Jurassic World returns to theaters on July 2, 2025. Stay tuned for more.
The new movie is expected to usher in a brand new Jurassic Era with Jurassic World cast members Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard not expected to return. Don’t expect the original trilogy’s Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill, either. The new Jurassic World, from what we gather, plans to take the franchise in a new direction, with plot details under wraps.
The next Jurassic World film will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg through Amblin Entertainment. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley will produce and David Leitch and Kelly McCormick will also produce through 87North.
Executive Vice President of Production Development Sara Scott and Creative Executive of Production Development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project for the Studio.
This news comes in the wake of Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World: Dominion, a trilogy of sequels to the original classic that concluded in 2022. The last entry, Jurassic World: Dominion, brought in a billion dollars at the global box-office, all but ensuring Universal would want to continue this franchise.
The franchise will also return to the small screen with “Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” this year, an animated series from Netflix set in the world of “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.”
