Well, any time we hear of a movie starring two cryptozoological creatures, of course, we’re interested. And then throw in Lorenzo Lamas and my one-time future wife (unbeknownst to her), and it sounds like an instant cinematic cryptozoological classic, on the scale of King Kong or Jaws!
Okay, maybe it’s closer to Anaconda or Deep Blue Sea.
Here’s a nice story from MTV about how the buzz for the film has sort of taken Deborah by surprise.
From that article —
The whimsical nature of the film attracted Gibson to the project. “I remember when I got the script, I just thought, ‘This is so much fun. I cannot say no to this,’ ” she recalled. “Which I think is probably what other people sense too. Obviously, the title alone makes people say, ‘What?!’ And then put my name with that title, and it’s an absolute bizarre combo.”
I had the great pleasure of interviewing my crush Ms. Gibson about two years ago for an article in conjunction with a concert she was putting on at one of the casinos. She was funny, smart, down-to-earth and an absolute professional — I even managed to keep my cool when she started talking about her infamous Playboy pictorial. (Different 80s band, but “My blood runs cold; angel is a centerfold!”) She did say, “I’m waiting for my big Cher comeback hit!” Maybe this is it? I hope for her it is — she truly seems like a decent person in an industry bereft of them.
Anyway, this looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun, and as it’s going directly to DVD, certainly worth a few bucks to rent. It’s not every day we get to see giant squids and mega sharks running rampant while Deborah Gibson tries to stop them! Only in my dreams …
