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.

A brief clip from the “most anticipated Asylum movie of the year,” Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, surfaced online today showing the two undersea aquagiants going at it via some really bad CGI.
The mockbuster stars Debbie Gibson and Lorenzo Lamas and is due out on DVD May 19th!

Well, they’ve done it again. The talent pool who gave us Shark Attack, Shark Attack 2, Shark Attack 3: Megalodon, Shark Zone, and Raging Sharks are now blessing us with Shark in Venice, the story of a huge man-eating shark prowling the polluted waters of the Venice canals. A killer shark terrorizing gondolas… a treasure hunt… and Stephen Baldwin to boot? What’s not to love?
Alas, we Americans will have to wait but the DVD will be released in the UK this October.
Now watch the trailer.
Jaws turns 33 today. Thanks for the mental scars, Jaws!
Oh, and remember this?
Goblin Shark Attack, the killer-fish flick filming down under (previously known as Malibu Shark Attack) has just finished shooting in Queensland, AU. They changed the name since the movie’s predators are based on a species of shark called goblin sharks. And trust me, these are big ones.
The monster goblin sharks get released from a big underground cavern during a seaquake. The resulting tsunami washes them ashore and all hell breaks loose.
The film is still set in Malibu and stars Peta Wilson (La Femme Nikita) as lifeguard heroine Heather. Can’t wait.

Hayden Panettiere, just back from a dolphin protest in Japan, hung out with Rob Stewart, star and filmmaker of the award winning documentary SHARKWATER at the November 1 screening hosted by GEN ART at the W Hotel in Los Angeles. After the poolside screening, Panettiere said, “If you care about this planet, you need to see this film!”
Ok, ok… I’ll see it.
In Sharkwater, filmmaker Rob Stewart sets out on a mission to debunk stereotypes about sharks and show just how important a role they play in the planet’s eco-system. I should probably see this…
The BBC has commissioned a one-off documentary about a South African attempting to pursue his dream of swimming with great white sharks.The hour-long show will air next fall.
Feeding the Giants will follow Michael Rutzen’s attempts to swim alongside the notorious sharks in the wild and without a cage.
Rutzen believes he can communicate with the “man killers” and become accepted. He wants to study their behavior from close up.
Uh, good luck with that.

Shark Swarm, a two-part miniseries from The Hallmark Channel, is currently shooting off the coast of Fort Bragg, CA. The flick stars Daryl Hannah, along with F. Murray Abraham, Armand Assante and John Schneider. Hallmark? Hmmm… that could actually mean it might be good.
The premise: For reasons unknown, a small coastal town is besieged by a swarm of sharks, and of course, bloody mayhem ensues. Hot.
