Man, they just keep doing stuff like this:
Per Cinescape.com: “Touchstone Pictures has signed Dominic Purcell to star in PRIMEVAL. He will play a producer.
The story centers on a news producer, reporter and cameraman who are dispatched to South Africa to track down and bring home alive a legendary 25-foot crocodile known as Gustave. However, their quarry proves far more elusive and deadly than they anticipated, and their situation turns even more perilous when a feared warlord targets them for death.
Purcell joins a cast that already includes Orlando Jones. Michael Katleman will direct. John Brancato and Michael Ferris wrote the script.”
Cool. Killer crocodile movie. My kind of deal.
However, for the last several months, the director of the recent horror flick Wolf Creek has been working on a movie called Rogue. Per the IMDB:
“An American journalist on assignment in the Australian outback encounters a man-eating crocodile.”
Of course, the stories are set on two completely different continents, so I guess they aren’t really that similar.
Rogue is set to come out around Christmas.
