SyFy’s Bigfoot: Premieres June 30th
Posted by: Loren Coleman on June 29th, 2012
Syfy movies are all about fear and fun
Bigfoot, starring Bonaduce (The Partridge Family) and Barry Williams (The Brady Bunch). Airs June 30.
“I had one condition, and that was that I could beat the heck out of Danny Bonaduce at some point in the movie,” says Williams, best known for playing squeaky clean Greg Brady. (In a 2002 match on Fox’s Celebrity Boxing, Bonaduce, who played the mischief-making Danny Partridge, bested him.)
Williams knows that casting him and Bonaduce is a publicity stunt with the potential to draw curious fans of these vintage ’70s shows. “When you team Barry Williams and Danny Bonaduce in a movie, that’s inescapable,” he says.
Bonaduce shares the sentiment. “If you took The Partridge Family-Brady Bunch quantum out of this, you’d have yourself a pretty good sci-fi movie about Bigfoot. It’s just that big numbers (of viewers) are going to be coming because of Greg Brady vs. Danny Partridge going after Bigfoot. Otherwise, you’d just have the Bigfoot cult and the sci-fi cult.”
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Bwaa, haa, haa! Will there be a fight like between Debbie Gibson and Tiffany on Mega Python vs. Gatoroid? It sounds ike a lot of fun and educational for the Cryptid community (Not really but there’s the fun part I mentioned)!
Who will be the first to find bigfoot, Danny and Greg or Matt and Bobo? I’d say that it’s a toss up,
Well… the trailer pretty much sums it up. Another ridiculous SyFy movie. The bigfoot looks to be about 50ft tall…
What a joke, the Bigfoot is the size of King Kong. He holds humans in one hand just like Kong did. The question I have is will he climb the Empire State Building?
Quite possibly the most insulting and idiotic SyFy production as yet….
The way to enjoy these SyFy movies is to do what SyFy as a network has done – embrace the cheese factor. They’re never going to be scientific documentaries on bigfoot research, and they’re never going to have state-of-the-art special effects. They’re just kooky fantasy stories, so don’t act like they’re not fun to watch. Seeing Alice Cooper get stepped on by a 50 foot bigfoot made me laugh.
