One idea we considered for #villageofthegiants fanfiction, was a what-if where years later while on a road trip, Fred ( #beaubridges ) and Merrie ( #joyharmon ) ended up close to Hainesville and decided to take a little detour. This image shows a selfie taken of their brief stopover.

Recently, we saw a 1957 picture of #SophiaLoren and #JayneMansfield at a table (with Sophia seeming a little put-off by Jayne), and we decided to make a version of it in a behind-the-scenes pic featuring #gailgerber and #joyharmon in a booth at the #whiskyagogo while filming #villageofthegiants .

Over the years, we had people insisting that there was a deleted scene where Merrie ( #joyharmon ) stepped on Hainesville’s Sheriff ( #joeturkel ) or Deputy ( #rancehoward ). However, this was merely a rumor as none of the scripts we reviewed mentioned it. However, using AI, we crafted this:

Out of curiosity, we took a look over at #auntjoyscakes site, only to see that unfortunately, they have closed. We hope they are able to find a new location and continue #joyharmon ‘s love of baking and making people smile.

Happy belated 160th birthday to Mr #hgwells ! Let’s face it, if not for his story #thefoodofthegods , writer/director #bertigordon may never have made #villageofthegiants . Enjoy Mr Wells in this little handshake-across-time with Merrie ( #joyharmon ). We wonder what he’d do with the goo.
