Chuck Patterson was SUP surfing with a couple friends when 2 sharks circled us for about 15 minutes. So the next day he decided to go back out with a camera mounted on a 10 ft pole and do some exploring.
Within 5 minutes a 9 ft shark came out of nowhere, circled twice and slapped its tail on his board before disappearing. Then, a minute later a 7 ft juvenile Great White swam circles around him for 12 minutes.
From director Alexandre Aja comes the new action thriller Piranha 3D. Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for Spring Break; a riot of sun and drunken fun. But this year, there’s something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers; A new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area’s new razor-toothed residents.
According to Variety, Halle Berry is in talks to star in the action-thriller “Dark Tide.”
“Dark” is about a diving instructor who returns to the deep after a near-fatal incident with a Great White shark and is set to lense in South Africa later this year.
A giant shark and a Krakken-like octopus that thaw out and wreak havoc on San Francisco! Throw in some Lorenzo Lamas and Deborah Gibson…. what’s not to like? Out (on DVD) May 19. Netflix, here I come!
Oscar nominated actress Elisabeth Shue has apparently signed on to star in Alexandre Aja’s remake of Piranha 3-D. I’m guessing she’s not going for a second Best Actress nod with this one, but I’ll definitely be in line when it opens next March.
