We have word today that Sammo Hung will be battling crazed monkeys in War Monkeys. We get the following scoop from our friends at the movieweb:
Sammo Hung will star in War Monkeys, a horror comedy from the indie arm of Dark Horse Films. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kevin Munroe (TMNT) is in negotiations to direct the film for Dark Horse Indie.
The horror comedy follows two janitors who, during a Christmas holiday, get trapped in an underground research facility after accidentally unleashing military-trained Rhesus monkeys. Hung is one of the janitors who battles the rabid simians.
This is ridiculous, outlandish and peculiar ….. and I love it. I was first told about this picture yesterday on the 2PM live show. Beefy Kung Fu legend Sammo Hung is a great casting for this picture and I am certain my friend Wintle will be delighted at this news. He’s the biggest fan of Hung that I know and this film certainly sounds like it will be memorable (good or bad).
This project is reminiscent of crazy 50’s Sci Fi films where science goes awry and ends up twisting nature into new, unknown threats.
We will be sure to keep you updated on the progress of this film. I am very interested in learning about its progress and hope to see it with a number of friends in a packed theatre.
