Filming has started on an upcoming survival thriller about an out-of-control grizzly bear, but there is one thing different about this movie… it uses a real bear.
Savage Hunt is currently in production in Bulgaria and is using a real grizzly bear on location as part of the shoot, as reported byDeadline. “We wanted to strive for as much realism as possible, showing how powerful nature can be, and the effects of man encroaching on an animal’s natural environment,” said the producers, adding: “Filming with a real bear in real locations with real actors is a very complex task.” See the first look of the bear on set above.
As per the synopsis, the film follows: “A vengeful tracker who is brought in to hunt down a large grizzly bear, which has begun attacking humans when a new local resort begins construction, disrupting the natural habitat of the wildlife.”
Savage Hunt is directed by Dutch filmmaker Roel Reiné, and written by Chad Law and Christopher Jolley. Reiné is best known for directing the Netflix action movie Fistful of Vengeance and season 1episode 3andepisode 4of the video game TV adaptationHalo.
