Chinese Creature Feature Revives Roger Corman’s Monster in ‘Sharktopus’ Remake Trailer

Published

Before the age of “Sharknado” stormed into pop culture, prolific producer Roger Corman introduced the world to “Sharktopus” in 2010, a SYFY original movie that featured a jaw-dropping monster merging the qualities of a shark and an octopus. The film even went on to spawn two spinoff movies, “Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda” in 2014 and “Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf” in 2015. Now, believe it or not, a remake of the iconic hybrid creature tale is on the horizon.

Indeed, in 2023, a Chinese remake of “Sharktopus” is making waves, thirteen years after the original SYFY production. This exciting news comes with the release of the official trailer this week, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect from this reimagined beast. You can catch the trailer above.

Directed by Xu Shi-Xing and Hu Dong-Sheng, this iteration of “Sharktopus” appears to take substantial inspiration from “The Meg,” a cinematic experience that itself mirrors the grandeur often associated with Corman’s big-budget productions.

As for the international release strategy of this remake, details are currently under wraps. Stay tuned for further updates on this monstrous venture.

The cast of “Sharktopus” (2023) includes Michelle Ye, Luo Li-Qun, Chen Wen-Jun, and Lemon Li, promising an exciting reimagining of the iconic creature’s adventures.
