‘Snakes On A Plane’? Whatever. ‘Bait’ Has Sharks In A Supermarket!
I never realized that I wanted to see a remake of the market sections ofThe Mistwhere Stephen King’s crazy monsters are played by tiger sharks. But then I saw the sales trailer forBait, the 3D ‘sharks in a supermarket’ film byHighlanderdirectorRussell Mulcahy, and I realized how limited my vision has been. Prepare to have your own perception of the world irrevocably changed, too, when you watch the footage that lurks in the shallows after the break.
I’m not sure thatJulian McMahonandXavier Samuelare quite the replacements I’d like for Thomas Jane and Toby Jones, but since they’re going to spend this movie trying not to be EATEN BY SHARKS IN A SUPERMARKET, I think I can deal with it. And before you scoff at this, please consider that the footage features someone making protective ‘shark walk’ armor out of shopping baskets/carts. That is brilliant. Also:Inceptionmusic. If anything deserves a good ‘BRAAAAAAAHM!’ it is sharks in a supermarket.
Here’s the synopsis. We don’t know whenBait(In 3D!) might be released, or even finished, but it’ll make an obvious date double feature withShark Night 3D.
In a sleepy beach community shoppers at an underground supermarket are terrorized by a crazed bandit when the unimaginable occurs: A monstrous freak tsunami swallows the town. Now trapped, with rushing water threatening to entomb them in a watery grave the survivors discover they are not alone. The tsunami has brought unwanted visitors from the depths. Not only must they overcome the threat of drowning and the predator within their midst, but a threat far more deadly and far more bloodthirsty – hungry great white sharks.
I’m so happy about this, because it seems like a clear indicator that theDeath Beddevelopment paradigm, as explained below in NSFW fashion by Patton Oswalt, is still alive and kicking.
