Cannes 2009: Sharks in a Mall!
Bait to be Australia's first 3-D movie.
We've already had Snakes on a Plane, so why not Sharks in a Mall? That's the premise for a new 3-D action adventure that was announced in Cannes this morning.
Highlander helmer Russell Mulcahy will write and direct the film, which has the most outlandish concept we've heard at the festival thus far.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be set in a coastal town where a freak tsunami floods and traps shoppers in a supermarket with an armed maniac and a pack of hungry tiger sharks that have been washed into the building.
Arclight Films and Limelight are producing, with Arclight's Gary Hamilton saying, "This will be a truly monstrous thriller and the first Australian feature in 3-D."
Bait is set to shoot on the Gold Coast later this year.

on May 15 2009 06:42 AM lol. why? I don't care, bring it. If it's fun to watch then they did their job. This movie's only redeeming factor can be Emilio Estevez. (Reply to this) |
on May 15 2009 07:47 AM Will it be better than Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus? (Reply to this) |

on May 15 2009 09:08 AM In reply to this comment (#2476916) Ha! I saw that on TV and said..."Did he just say...? No, he couldn't have." I rewound it, and said "Oh my God!!!!!! He said "monkey fighting"!" (Reply to this) |

on May 15 2009 10:47 AM Yeah, I'm pretty sure they made that dub ridiculous on purpose. (Reply to this) |
on May 15 2009 11:40 AM LOL, this is one of the stupidest concepts I've ever heard. Then again, Mulcahy has been putting out nothing but crap since HIGHLANDER. (Reply to this) |

on May 15 2009 12:03 PM As crappy as the film is guaranteed to be, I'm still looking forward it! (Reply to this) |
on May 15 2009 12:21 PM HectorMoran, you are what's wrong with cinema. Not you specifically, but this prevailing attitude that even if it's crappy, I can't wait to see it. If people would quit reacting like that and quit seeing these movies, then they would quit making them. Now, having said that, I can't wait to see this to see how bad it is :-) (Reply to this) |

on May 15 2009 01:05 PM The question is, will Sam J be in it? (Reply to this) |

on May 15 2009 02:23 PM No, the question is: will Lorenzo Llamas and Debbie Gibson be co-starring? I agree with Jeff H. - Nothing will be better than Mega Shark V. Giant Octopus. And by "better," I mean impossibly ridiculous and laughably awful. Where is Mystery Science Theater 3000 when we need it? (Reply to this) |

on May 15 2009 05:43 PM I can't help but laugh with this resurgance in the camp sci-fi genre. At least I'm not appalled by it. (Reply to this) |
on May 15 2009 06:11 PM i can see it now.....C. THOMAS HOWELL STARRING IN THE NEW SHARKS IN A MALL!!!! (Reply to this) |
on May 15 2009 09:44 PM Netflix says Mega Shark V. Giant Octopus will be out on DVD this coming Tuesday, 5/19/2009 It's a dissapointment I know, I was hoping for the full IMAX experience. But, I'll watch it Tuesday. The suspense is already killing me. Who will win? My guess: The Audience. (Reply to this) |
on May 16 2009 03:09 PM In reply to this comment (#2476916) HAH! I just heard that on the Daily Show with John Stewart a week or 2 ago, I couldn't believe what he said! Hey, TV stations, stop replacing words with words that don't fit. What ever happened to the standard bleeping of those words? Bring that sound back! I want to watch the sopranos with every other word getting bleeped. Snakes on a Plane... now Sharks in a Mall! WHAT'S NEXT! STEAKS ON A TRAIN! (Reply to this) |

on May 16 2009 04:47 PM Rob Schneider IS a Shark in the Mall...no? Screw you all for judging me. (Reply to this) |
on May 17 2009 01:20 AM I think the Conan O'Brien suggested sequel of Sharks on a Tractor is still the best possible sequel. (Reply to this) |

on May 17 2009 02:22 AM Sound crap but good! I'm in (Reply to this) |
