Giant prehistoric monsters and comeback 80s stars this popcorn flick has both these ingredients!
When two enormous prehistoric creatures escape their thousand year old prison, melting ice caps… they start contending for supremacy of the sea, the California coast becomes the setting for a showdown that’s been centuries in the making.

 

That’s Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, the camp sci-fi movie will hit the Cannes Film Festival this weekend while the trailer already is a monster hit.

 

The trailer scored a million hits on MTV.com in just 2 days while racking up several hundred thousands hits on Youtube and Yahoo! Video.

 

The movie is also a fun comeback for two forgotten 80’s stars, singer Deborah Gibson and actor Lorenzo Lamas. They’re part of a heroic submarine crew taking on the prehistoric monsters.

 

Deborah Gibson admits the movie is not exactly Oscar material but that “Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus” is “ridiculously fun”.

 

“We leave the door open for a sequel. How about a giant lobster? That would be terrifying. They’re really scary,” Gibson jokes in an interview with People.

 

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus will be in stores on May 19 as a direct-to-DVD release.

Last year Stargate SG-1 got cancelled, now another gate closes down… but you can’t send a great tv series in oblivion! Bad news aside, 2008 proves to be a HUGE Stargate year!

 

Stargate SG-1 survived several cast changes, spawned a succesful sister series Stargate Atlantis and the show’s heroes were victorious against many foes. But the show starring Richard Dean Anderson, Beau Bridges and Amanda Tapping didn’t survive the number crunching bureaucrats at SciFi Channel’s headquarters.

 

More bad news…

 

Now after 5 succesful seasons, Stargate Atlantis also needs to close down.

 

SciFi channel wants a noughties scifi series with a younger cast, as apparently Stargate Atlantis is too much "nineties" for them.

 

But hang on there’s loads of good news too!
