It's kind of like putting together this creature based on other references, so that makes it quite a bit more difficult we're finding. We're pulling like reference for eye shapes from other animals, even an elephant, and elephant seals, and those sorts of things. There are textures that are not unlike an eel. Producer Mary Parent described it as “sort of an octopus meets an other-worldly creature” while Lucas Till described them as prehistoric “octopus walrus teeth made of diamonds or something like that.” But it was the art department that hammered home the challenge of creating a species from scratch. Many iterations were still being batted around. What sticks with me the most from my time on the Monster Trucks set was how fluid the concept of the monster still was. Melding cutting edge visual effects and state-of-the-art CGI, Monster Trucks is an action filled adventure for the whole family that will keep you on the edge of your seat and ultimately touch your heart. After an accident at a nearby oil-drilling site displaces a strange and subterranean creature with a taste and a talent for speed, Tripp may have just found the key to getting out of town and a most unlikely friend. Looking for any way to get away from the life and town he was born into, Tripp (Lucas Till), a high school senior, builds a Monster Truck from bits and pieces of scrapped cars.

A shady corporation led by Holt McCallany”s character gets involved in trying to contain/dissect/perform general villainy on the monster. Tripp (Lucas Till) comes across the creature and shenanigans ensue. The story focuses on a clever monster who finds itself alone in a new environment. Monster Trucks is a bit of a modern-day E.T.

Two summers ago I found myself in Vancouver on a set for a kid”s film about monsters that take over trucks with several other journalists.
