The writer of one of the all-time classic American horror films using one of the all time greatest pieces of satire ever written as the basis of his new work? That's exactly what's happening with Boneboys.
The co-writer of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Kim Henkel has written and is producing Boneboys, a new film now in production with Duane Graves and Justin Meeks directing. Graves and Meeks are former students of Henkel's, the three collaborating a few years back on ultra low budget creature film The Wild Man Of The Navidad.
But this one? Boneboys takes Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal as its starting point, the film being set in a world where people have taken Swift's suggestion that babies from poor families be used as a food supply seriously. Says Henkel in a Dallas News interview: "They discovered that eating human flesh is highly addictive. Eat too much and it turns you into a monster."
Texas Chainsaw fans take note: Ed Neal and John Dugan from the first film appear in this one, as does Bill Johnson aka Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
