‘Creature’ director, Fred M. Andrews and co-star, Rebekah Kennedy (‘Caroline’) joined host Dead Dave on his radio program on Sunday, August 28 to discuss the making of the ‘Creature’ movie. Fred revealed that he hadn’t seen the final cut of the film in a theater setting until a few weeks ago and was really excited that “it translated so well to the big screen.” He watched his directorial film debut with a test audience and was thrilled to witness their reactions first hand.Click Here To Download Creature Movie
A previous guest on Dead Dave, Rebekah appeared on the radio program earlier this year to promote her film, ‘Season of the Witch,’ starring Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman. The up-and-coming actress explained that she became involved with ‘Creature’ when her agent submitted her for the role of ‘Caroline.’ Fred had originally written the part for a thin actress with red hair and green eyes who could play a 14 year old. Rebekah drove from her Dallas home to Baton Rouge to audition for Fred and the casting director and found out she got the part a couple of weeks later! As the catalyst for the destructive change in ‘Lockjaw,’ Rebekah’s character is a key element in the film.
Rebekah admitted she found filming in the Louisiana heat to be a bit challenging but the conditions added authenticity to the movie. As ‘Caroline,’ Rebekah plays the bride of ‘Grimley’ who has been taken away from him. That loss is what cause ‘Grimley’ to go crazy and marked the beginning of his transformation into the ‘Creature’ (Lockjaw).
Rather than portraying a mindless killing machine, Fred wanted to bring the Creature’s backstory to life, “illustrating the struggle of why he does what he does.” A fan of classic horror movies, Fred was drawn to the sympathetic nature of the iconic monsters but despite some similarities, ‘Creature’ is not a remake of ‘Creature of the Black Lagoon.’ Fred explained to Dead Dave that ‘Lockjaw’ is actually more like ‘Frankenstein’ or ‘Pumpkinhead’ in terms of a story told from the monster’s perspective.
In a Dead Dave exclusive, Fred revealed that ‘Lockjaw’ was originally conceived as a trilogy and if the ‘Creature’ movie is successful, he has a sequel planned that focuses even more on the backstory of ‘Lockjaw.’ Which would mean a bigger part for Rebekah in the next film!
