"MOSTER BRAWL" IS FINISHED.

Ready for the Monster Brawl?

Dave Foley, Jesse Thomas Cook and Art Hindle on the set of Monster Brawl, which is being filmed in Collingwood, Ontario.

Dave Foley and Art Hindle have fond memories of the Georgian Triangle. The pair of actors were in Collingwood last week, filming scenes for the movie Monster Brawl, a picture being produced by local film company Foresight Features. The concept for the movie is a wrestling tournament between eight different monsters, including a Vampire, a witch, a mummy, Frankenstein, a zombie, a werewolf, Swamp Gut, and Cyclops.

Producer Jesse Cook called the movie a "fast-paced comedy."

Foley is best known for his work in television on CBC' s "Kids in the Hall" and the NBC series News Radio. Hindle is a veteran actor who has starred in a host of movies and television shows including Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Beverly Hills 90210, JAG, Due South, Porky's and Matlock.

Foley said he lived in Creemore for five years when he was a teenager. He said his family was always moving but the village felt like home.

"Creemore is the longest we lived in one place," he said.

In the film, Foley is Buzz Chapman, the play by play announcer for the tournament. Cook describes Foley's character as a "drunken Foster Hewitt."

Foley said he is combining the work of Hewitt and legendary sportscaster Howard Cosell for the role.

"I am using Howard Cosell's emphasis," he said. "When he has no control, where he puts the emphasis in a sentence."

Foley said he enjoyed the filming and likes the mixing of film genres.

"I love that with technology, it's possible for movies to be made like this," he said. "You don't have to have a big studio budget. It used to be, if you didn't have the money to make a movie, you couldn't."

Hindle's ties to Creemore go through his children. He said when his career was taking off and he'd have to spend a lot of time in Los Angeles, he wanted them to live in a place where they would be comfortable.

A friend sold him on Creemore.

"I bought a house in Creemore," he said. "My kids wanted to live out in the country."

Hindle said he's enjoyed coming back to the area, where he has spent a lot of time. He said he visited with friends he hasn't seen in years.

Hindle plays Foley's broadcast partner, a former wrestler named Sasquatch Sid.

"He's an ex-wrestler, he's seen it all," Hindle said. "He's a very colourful character."

Hindle praised the script, and is hopeful the producers of the film have success.

"This is a big step for the area," he said. "There is going to be a lot more films being made in the area."

Cook was part of the group who filmed the horror movie Scarce in 2007, which is currently being shown on Super Channel in Canada and is distributed on DVD by Anchor Bay Entertainment - one of the top companies in the horror film industry. He and partner John Geddes also visited the 2008 Cannes Film Festival to sell the film internationally.

Monster Brawl is the first two films Foresight Features will be making in 2010.

The movie also stars Robert Maillet - who has starred in 300 and Sherlock Holmes, and professional wrestlers Kevin Nash and Jimmy "The Mouth of the South" Hart.
