Is This A Razorback Remake?


Razorback is one of my favourite movies, so I'm intrigued to know if this is going to be a remake. The basic plot synopsis on imdb suggests it could be. Huge boar going beserk in the Australian outback. It also features Chris Haywood who played Benny in Razorback.

I have fond memories of Razorback. All I really remember is him getting chopped up in the fan at the end.

Interesting choice to do a remake of, that's for sure. A bit random.

Seems it's a Razorback reboot, set in the present with new characters. I found a trailer for it on youtube, it looks interesting but there's one cgi shot of the boar that looks really bad! Should have stuck with puppetry imo. Still, I'll reserve judgement until I've seen it. It's apparently being released this month! Here's the trailer for anyone who's interested -

So what like they people go poking their noses in BOAR's house and then get all pissed ogg and scared when he tries to eat them in their faces or what happens? Like if they leave BOAR alone no problem, bt they try to go hunting it and then get gored in the testies right

I just purchased RAZORBACK on Blu Ray and what a damn good movie paying full homage to JAWS, everything right down to the animatronics used for this Giant Boar.. RAZORBACK vs BOAR?? Well, they're both about Giant Pigs and both take place in the Outback, however, RAZORBACK had more of a story to it while BOAR was just flat out carnage from the get go and didn't let up.. Gotta admire a man the size of Nathan Jones trying to manhandle something like this and got tossed for his trouble along with getting stabbed in the gut.. Both are very good movies though
