I had the privilege of meeting and interview (coming soon) Eric Roberts this weekend and I was given the following scoop first hand:
Oscar nominated Eric Roberts is set to star in the SyFy creature feature: “Sharktopus”. The film is being made by Roger Corman and Syfy were teaming up to create a movie about a half-shark/half-octopus.
The plot stars Robert who develops a top secret military weapon – a half shark/octopus that can be controlled by electrical implants. The military decides to turn the creature on the outburst of modern day pirates. But SURPRISE, the controls break and Sharktopus gets set loose on the resort beaches of Mexico.
Sitting in the director’s chair for Sharktopus is Declan O’Brien, who previously helmed the Roger Corman/Syfy flick Cyclops (also co-starring Eric Roberts)
Look for “Sharktopus” to surface on SyFy later this year.
