Syfy Channel has just greenlighted the long-awaited Sharktopus movie, to be directed by cult monster auteur Roger Corman.
That seems very dubious. Corman has directed exactly one film in the past forty years.
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

For Juliebird's nature films: Born Free (although they do have human/animal bonding there, they do set the lion free at the end, don't they?) and Never Cry Wolf, with Charles Martin Smith.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Why would a sharktopus have multiple mouths?
Because it's cool? I dunno....
Now I'm trying to picture the multiple mouths. Would it be like a giant octopus, with little shark-heads on the end of each tentacle? That would look pretty goofy....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That seems very dubious. Corman has directed exactly one film in the past forty years.
He did a bunch of b-movies for cable more recently, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But it's SyFy! Who wouldn't leap at the chance? For a nice Bulgarian vacation?

I have no doubt that Roger Corman could at age 99, roll out of bed and complete a movie by dinner using nothing but his iPhone.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Why would a sharktopus have multiple mouths?
You'll never by a SyFy original movies producer with an attitude like that!
