'Nope': Jean Jacket Gets Official Scientific Species Classification (www.cheatsheet.com)

“My main role was debuting Jean Jacket to the scientific community in the form of a scientific manuscript,” Rutledge said. “I had to describe every inch of the creature in anatomical detail as well as behavioral detail in the manuscript we’re creating.”

Has this manuscript turned up online anywhere yet? I've looked but I haven't found anything. Jean Jacket is one of my favourite modern movie monsters. I find it's design both terrifying and fascinating and would love to read more about it.

Still makes my stomach turn when I think of this creature. I'm not afraid of Freddy, Jason or the Xenomorph from Alien, but show me Jean Jackets eye and I still look away.

I agree, I hadn't considered it from the perspective of the film industry. I thought it was about the underlying fear always present when you're working with animals. Even the horses, which have been reliable for centuries, do occasionally have episodes of acting out. And you can lose your sense of respect for the animal and its potential to harm you when you get too familiar with it, but it still has the capacity to hurt you if it gets spooked.

There's also yet another layer of symbolism involving how racial minorities are treated by the industry too. What with the expertise of the horse trainers being ignored because of their race, and of Jupe being just as much of a sideshow attraction as the "funny Asian kid" as the chimp was as the "funny monkey".
