Humpty Dumpty


Two backwoods brothers, Petus and Pervis Brakk, ambush a landing party of extraterrestrial beings on their swampland property collecting Earth plant samples for study. The brothers kill the males and take the alien female into captivity where they torture and abuse her. They secretly keep her captive for months in their basement cellar. She becomes impregnated with the spawn of one of the sadistic brothers and escapes into the swampland. Before she dies, she gives birth to a monstrous, half-alien, half-human egg-shaped, creature with extraterrestrial powers, HUMPTY DUMPTY. In the meantime, a smart Southern sheriff becomes suspicious after reports come into his office about a UFO seen by people from the small town. He ultimately solves the case, but not before Humpty has taken crowd-pleasing bloody revenge on the Brakk brothers for their unspeakable acts against his mother.

PROJECT DETAILS:

It looks like the project may still be in development, or at least in 2016 when the film's producer posted an update on FB stating that they're looking for a new director. Here's what he had to say: "Our director David Ellis passed away. Our  team has been working on finding another director. We've had offers actually but did not feel the director was right. These beloved projects take time and patience and we have an abundance of that. We are all producing major film and TV projects so we have access to the right people. We have so many fans of Humpty that we will not let down. The new world of movie and tv production is time intensive and consuming. The most important virtue is patience. We don't want to throw something out there that is not the highest quality." Adding... "The script is finished and all of the production art. Humpty is a labor of love. We have put so much into making it cool and a great story not just crap. I really has a special charisma that we want to capture. What many people don't realize when they go to the movies is the amount of time it takes from script to screen. Many projects are 10 years or more in the making. Forest Gump took 15." (10/28/22)

After having been in development for several years it appears that the project just never got off the ground. It likely lost financing somewhere along the way. David R. Ellis was never really confirmed to be attached to the project, but with his death in 2013 it pretty much sealed any chances of that ever happening anyway. However, while the feature film failed to move forward, a graphic novel did and it's apparently the sole reason that the Humpty Dumpty social pages on FB and Twitter are still active. Maybe one day a feature film will happen, but at this point it seems unlikely. (1/15/2014)
