One of my top 100 films of all time is HIGHLANDER and it just so happens that the director of said masterpiece, Russell Mulcahy is set to release a rather interesting movie based on a very strange premise:A freak tsunami traps shoppers at a coastal Australian supermarket inside the building ... along with a pack of tiger sharks.
I would think that most would believe they are having a very bad day if they happened to be in a grocery store when it was being robbed. Or if they were in the path of a tsunami - that hits that very same store. Or if that tsunami had a pack of famished tiger sharks within it.
Sounds crazy enough to work! Here's the trailer...
What do you think? Personally, I think the more sharks in 3D the better... :-)
BAIT is set to release in September for Australia. Uncertain when it will hit American shores.
How is that for a premise!?! Jim here. It sounds like TONS of fun and potentially the right guy for the job is helming it up: Russell Mulcahy (HIGHLANDER, GIVE 'EM HELL MALONE, RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION).
Here is the official synopsis: In a sleepy coastal resort community, shoppers at an underground supermarket find themselves terrorized by a crazed bandit when the unimaginable occurs… A monstrous freak tsunami swallows the town. Now trapped inside a flooded supermarket with an armed maniac and rushing water threatening to entomb them all in a watery grave, the imprisoned band of survivors discover they’re not alone. The tsunami has brought some unwanted visitors from the depths. As the waters rise they must overcome not only the threat of drowning, but another threat, just as deadly and far more bloodthirsty… Packs of hungry tiger sharks.
LOL! I can actually picture this happening and not lose all sense of reality! Is it just me or does this sound like outrageous fun in 3D? More on BAIT 3D when I get it!
