Quote:Now the Internet is all atwitter because Karen O'Hara, the director of original movies at Syfy, has announced via Twitter a greenlight for the long gestating Sharktopus!. Legendary director Roger Corman is a natural for the project because he's already given us Supergator, Dinocroc, and Dinoshark.

It's about the only thing that gives me hope for this project.

Maybe they'll hire Bruce Campbell too. Big Grin

And since this is a SyFy film, I'm sure Chase Masterson will be in there somewhere.

That's just one artist's rendition. If you Google "sharktopus," you'll find a few others.

And now, an update...

Quote:The world has been buzzing ever since news broke that Roger Corman and Syfy were colluding to gift the world with a motion picture entitled Sharktopus. How does such an unlikely mutant come about?

"The U.S. Navy has commissioned a group called Blue Water to genetically engineer a half-shark, half-octopus to help combat Somali pirate ships. Then things go wrong."

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? That's the point, as Corman explains.

"It's fairly difficult to believe, but we only ask the audience to accept this one thing," he said. "After that, we take great care that everything else is logical from then on and is something that could happen."


Gods bless Roger Corman. Big Grin
