May 1, 2007梉/b]With a name like "Hogzilla," it was probablyinevitable. The big pig梥hown above with his killer, hunting guideChris Griffin, in 2004條ooks to be headed to the big screen with tusksblazing.
In The Legend of Hogzilla the sizeable swine will rampage across southern Georgia,just as it did in real life, though presumably with a higher bodycount. As an Internet sensation, the real Hogzilla may have broughtdown a server or two but isn't known to have attacked any humans.
Scientists who exhumed Hogzilla for the National Geographic Society inNovember 2004 put to rest rumors of a 1,000-pound (453-kilogram),12-foot (3.7-meter) monster. The researchers estimated he weighed 800pounds (363 kilograms) and was 8 feet (2.4 meters) long. (NationalGeographic News is part of the National Geographic Society.)
Hogs in the wild rarely reach such gargantuan size, leadingsome skeptics to wonder of the monster may have been raised incaptivity. DNA tests were considerable more conclusive, proving thatHogzilla was part wild boar, part domestic pig. (Read an account of the investigation.)
Independent film company Lithium Productions will hold auditions for The Legend of Hogzilla in May. Griffin, who shot Hogzilla at a hunting preserve, has been enlisted as the movie's on-set hog expert.
