Kevin Bacon recounted a bizarre incident from the filming of the 1998 film 'Wild Things'. While shooting a scene in a swamp, Bacon heard over the walkie-talkie that a body was floating by, prompting laughter at the unexpected moment. He noted it reflected the film's overall vibe. Director John McNaughton confirmed that the police were called and retrieved the body before it interfered with filming. Despite initial skepticism about the script, which Bacon thought was poorly written, he found it contained many surprises, leading to the film's enduring cult status amid mixed critical reception.
"All of a sudden I hear across the walkie-talkie: 'Hey, uh, I think I just saw a floater.' And it was a body that was floating by," Bacon continued, laughing a little at the strange memory.
"When I first picked up the script, I thought, 'Oh, my God, this is the trashiest piece of crap I've ever read.' But every few pages, there was another surprise."
"We called the police, and they actually grabbed the body and kept it from getting into our shot," he said at the time.
The film's director, John McNaughton, told Entertainment Weekly about the incident during the film's initial release back in 1998.
