As the blog headline suggests - this is about Sharktopus, the latest release from Roger Corman. The trailer is fucking awesome. It’s like: Beach Blanket Bingo meets Jaws meets It Came From Beneath the Sea meets Eric Roberts and then skull fucks the entire audience.
For a sequel maybe Shaktopus can devour all the spilled oil in the gulf - and the entire BP corporation - and then swim off into the sunset until he/she is needed again. Just like a reformed Godzilla helping to repair post-war Japan’s fractured sense of identity. That would mean Corman’s gonna need a couple of really tiny twins to narrate this shit. How’s he gonna afford that?
God - show business can be SO complex.
Cheers.
P.S. I just remembered - Corman simply doesn’t afford this shit. I can hear the production meeting now:
“CG? Midgets? Screw that! Hire Mary-Kate and Ashley for an hour, we’ll put the camera on a ladder so they look short, just have ‘em wobble their mouths around for a while and we’ll dub in whatever chipmunk-voiced crap we want to. What are sitting there for? GO!”
