For Your Consideration…

They’ve been posting this as advertising a ton on Deadline Hollywood. I thought it was a gag, but apparently they are actually making this. And why wouldn’t they?

I assume O’Brien will only be doing a cameo, but man, he should definitely star in this.

    I’d heard a Sharktopus sequel was forthcoming, but that was it. Pteracuda, huh? I’m guessing it can fly. The original was dumb fun; hopefully this one at least matches that, if not improving on it.

    But still no movie about brain eating amoebas. Keep track of the headlines SyFy!

  • Flangepart

    Well, If the ‘brain eaters’ are puppet masters, that’s another matter, and they just might.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Hopefully it’ll have all the dumb fun of the original.

    There are actually TWO Sharktopus sequels. Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda is the first premiering in a few weeks. I’m actually far more intrigued by the sequel because I can only assume massive amounts of drugs were involved when they came up with the premise. I’m not making any of this up:

    SHARKTOPUS VS. MERMANTULA – In order to take down Sharktopus, Ray Brady, a former basketball player
    is injected with a transformation serum that alters his genetic make-up
    to become part man, part piranha and part tarantula. Though,
    unsuccessful at his first attempt to bring down Sharktopus, Ray injects
    himself with a growth hormone, increasing his strength ten fold and has a
    final showdown with Sharktopus in a baseball stadium.

    Welp, I’m watching that.

    I’m almost sad I can’t catch broadcast premieres of these things anymore. Ah well, I’m sure I can find it somewhere before too long once it’s shown.

    In related news, they were showing the Rifftrax live version of Sharknado across the street this evening and I was unable to make it. I’m going to do everything I can to see them do the ’98 Godzilla movie next month, though. This will be the first time I’ve watched it since the theatrical release; I hope they are merciless.

    *Looks at that second movie.* I don’t know if that description is supposed to make me laugh or cry…

    By the way, does that picture of O’Brien up there put anyone else in mind of harpooner Ned Land from the Disney version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea?

  • Ericb

    The really need to push the envelope a little more on these things. They should have gone with Sharktopunado vs. Pteracudacane.

    The Asylum makes me sad. Their concepts always sound like so much gloriously stupid fun, but the resultant movies are just forgettable, not even bad in a fun way with the rare exception like Piranha). It’s like coming up with the concept takes so much of their creativity that it has to be subtracted from the actual product.

  • SteveWD

    Hoping Roger Corman has another cameo like the gold coin biting bit in the first one. It may just be me, but the movies he produces that show up on SyFy are much less painful than the Asylum produced ones.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Agreed! When it comes to making cheap movies, Roger Corman is a titan amongst pygmies.

  • Gamera977

    Yeah, I’ve only seen a few but though they seem like crazy fun they seem to come out sorta flat. I agree sometimes it seems like they come up with the idea and then think it’s going to carry the whole thing and don’t even seem to try. Maybe it’s just me though???

  • Flangepart

    Kinda the tallest dwarf in the bunch, huh?
    Yeah, a good riff-fest does not know what it is. It’s the Ed Wood level of earnest sincerity that makes an MST3K such a glory to behold.

  • Eric Hinkle

    No, it’s not just you. I feel this way about Asylum films too.

  • Meganadoranha vs. Volcanogatorpus!

  • Petoht

    Here’s hoping they license the song by Heart…
