Anchor Bay Entertainment seems to have the market on thrilling DVD and Blu-Ray releases, as they have announced that Sharktopus will debut March 15th, 2011. This film was produced by the notorious Roger Corman (Bloodfist VIII: Trained to Kill), who has been involved in over a hundred films. Sharktopus premiered on the SyFy channel and now a few more details are here.

The film involves a military experiment gone horribly wrong. Now an "an eight-tentacled nightmare" (Anchor Bay) is making lunch meat of sunbathers and holidayers. Have a look at the campy trailer below, along with the official artwork seen left.

The film's plotline:

"An eight-tentacled nightmare hybrid of shark and octopus, 'S-11' was created by genetic scientist Nathan Sands (Eric Roberts) as the U.S. Navy’s next super-weapon. But when its control implants are damaged during a training experiment off the Mexican coast, the beast escapes to Puerto Vallarta to sample the local fare -- bikini babes, jet-skiers, and spring-breakers. With the ocean terror now out of control and seemingly invincible, a ragtag group – comprised of a hotshot mercenary, an investigative reporter, and Sand’s biomechanical engineer daughter – have come together to stop the unholy beast from turning a seaside tourist resort into the ultimate human buffet" (Anchor Bay).

Release Date: March 15, 2011 (DVD, Blu-Ray).

Director: Declan O'Brien.

Writers: Mike Maclean.

Cast: Eric Roberts, Hector Jimenez, Ralph Garman, Kerem Bursin and Sara Malakul
