'The Black Demon' movie and comics draw from Aztec and Maya civilizations' entreaties to “be aware of what you are doing on the planet,' says screenwriter Boise Esquerra.
The film and a new comic book series draw from Aztec and Maya civilizations' entreaties to “be aware of what you are doing on the planet," says screenwriter Boise Esquerra.
“The movie is like ‘Jaws,’ if Jaws were sent by Indigenous gods to make humanity pay for messing with the ocean,” said David Bowles, a co-creator of the “From left, Fernanda Urrejola as Inés, Carlos Solorzano as Tommy and Venus Ariel as Audrey, in the movie, "The Black Demon."Bowles said in an interview that a story about a megalodon — an extinct giant shark that could have been— can be terrifying and exciting.
One of those primordial creatures was known as “Cipactli” in the Aztec language or “Sipak” in Mayan. Bowles describes it as a “leviathan that the gods had to wrestle into submission to create the Earth on its back.”, which archaeologists have found at ancient Indigenous sites in southern Mexico. The comic book series expands the story from the film to show how the Black Demon was created to protect the environment from humanity. And every issue tells a story about the supernatural shark serving Indigenous gods throughout different periods in history and alternate timelines.
“You have these civilization-ending events throughout history,” he said. “And legends like ‘The Black Demon’ are created to warn people about the dangers of their actions and how they can tip the balance of nature.”
