A couple of weeks ago we showed you a humourous clip of producer Roger Corman and a beach sweetie in a scene from his upcoming ‘Sharktopus’ production for SyFy and now the 50% shark, 50% octopus, 100% deadly mother of the deep has got itself a new UK trailer. The DVD hits UK shelves from 7 March (a week earlier than the US) plus it’s only priced at £3.99(!). Eric Roberts (‘The Dark Knight’), beauty queen Shandi Finnessey (below), Héctor Jiménez, Ralph Garman, Sara Malakul Lane, Brent Huff, Roxana Ortega and Kerem Bursin all face off with the monstrous hybrid creature thing. Check out the new trailer and UK DVD artwork below.
“Nathan Sands, an egotistical bio-genetics genius who, along with his daughter Nicole, has developed a hybrid half-shark/half-octopus for use by the US military. Code-named S11, the creature has been designed as the ultimate weapon in aquatic attack and defence. But when its control unit malfunctions during a test run, the S11 is accidentally unleashed and sets off in the direction of the popular tourist resort of Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. Desperate to keep the creature’s existence secret and to avoid a bloody massacre that is almost certain to attract unwanted attention, the military leaders hire Sands, Nicole and a notorious shark hunter to track down and capture the mutant killing machine before it can begin snacking on a buffet of helpless holidaymakers. Unfortunately, the task becomes riskier and far more complicated than it needs to be when a morally bankrupt news reporter, her cameraman, a pirate-radio DJ and his unbelievably hot assistant become involved in the proceedings.”
‘Sharktopus’ hits shores on DVD and Blu-ray on 7 March here in the UK and on 15 March stateside.
