Jay Baruchel Drops Details On PIG

Last week some news of Jay Baruchel directing a slasher flick called "PIG" hit the net. Not much was known of the project other than it was going to have a socio-racial commentary to it. Thats not a lot to go on. Thankfully today he spoke with the AV Club a bit more about what exactly the film will be about.

"The first one, the one that we’re kind of working on right now, that hopefully I’ll finally get to direct in the next year or two, is kind of a re-imagining of a slasher film about a crazy white cop who chases four black kids throughout the ghetto on July 4. It’ll be subversive and controversial and polarizing, but that’s what’s best in horror, the movies that do that to people."

It is hard to imagine that the lead in the film "She's Out of My League" plans on directing a horror flick like that. But in the interview he also mentions that his biggest inspiration is David Cronenberg. Now that is good to hear. Hopefully he can secure financing for this film and see how crazy he can really go.
