        ALAPAHA, Ga. - Hogzilla, a near-mythical monster hog that roamed south Georgia, is about to get a little bigger. An independent filmmaker is producing a horror movie about the super swine called "The Legend of Hogzilla," and has even enlisted the beast's killer on the set as an adviser.

        几年前,曾经有一头看上去近乎于神话中所描绘之怪物的超级大肥猪Hogzilla游荡于美国佐治亚州南部的原野上,而过不了多久,它的名气便可能会比以前又有一定程度的增加。一家名为锂电影公司的独立制片机构正在拍摄一部以这头大猪为原型的恐怖影片,片名就叫《Hogzilla的传奇》,该公司甚至还把亲手杀死那头猪的“刽子手”请到了拍摄现场充当顾问。

        "He's our hog expert," producer Rick Trimm said of guide Chris Griffin, who shot the huge porker in 2004 at a hunting preserve. Photographs of the hog hanging from a backhoe were sent around the world, and the town of Alapaha 180 miles south of Atlanta quickly adopted Hogzilla as its own, even launching a parade in the pig's honor.

        据美联社4月29日的报道,该片制片人里克·特里姆在谈到负责指导拍摄工作的克里斯·格里芬时说:“他就是我们这里的肥猪专家。”正是后者于2004年在一处禁止狩猎区域内将Hogzilla举枪击毙。 这头超级巨猪被人们用反铲挖土机吊起的照片后来迅速传遍了世界各地,而位于佐治亚州首府亚特兰大市以南180英里处的一个名叫阿拉帕哈的小镇上的居民则马上将Hogzilla接纳为“自己人”,他们甚至还专门举行了一次游行以表达对该猪的敬意。

        A National Geographic team confirmed the pig's existence in 2005 after exhuming the behemoth's remains. While the experts said the hog didn't exactly live up to the hype — local hunters said the pig was 12 feet long and weighed 1,000 pounds — they still discovered a mighty big hog. They estimated it weighed around 800 pounds and was probably about 8 feet long. Lithium Productions says the production will need 200 locals for extras and is hosting tryouts next month. "We don't need professional actors," Trimm said. "We need real people who are interested in the movie."

        美国《国家地理杂志》派出的一个记者团队于2005年时确认了Hogzilla的存在,他们当时将这个庞然大物的尸骨从地下挖了出来。当地猎人们普遍宣称Hogzilla的长度为12英尺,而体重则达到了1000磅,但在专家看来,这头猪根本不可能具有如此硕大的体型。不过在经过此番实地勘察后,他们也不得不承认,此猪的个头的确非同一般。专家们估计它的体重大概在800磅左右,而长度则可能在8英尺上下。按照该电影公司的说法,这部影片将会需要200名当地人来充当临时演员,而具体选拔工作将会从下个月开始。
