Let Us Pray Together That Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus Is Not a Fake

Like most people, I would pay the price of four movie tickets to see a film called Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus. Two terrifying creatures from the wild west of prehistory, frozen underneath the waves – but then the ice melts (global warming? I think yeah) and they come out of the deep to terrorize us all. And only Lorenzo Lamas can save us! With this movie coming out, it is an exciting time to be alive. But oh no – now some people are claiming the awesome trailer (after the jump) is a fake!
If it’s fake, it’s a hell of an elaborate ruse. See the film’s IMDB and Amazon pages, the latter of which will actually sell you this DVD on preorder for May 19. Except that MTV lists the street date as May 26 — a few days before the MTV Movie Awards. And cult filmmaker Jack Perez (who directed no less than the pilot for Xena: Warrior Princess but is here credited by several sources as “Ace Hannah”) previously shot the 2004 horror comedy Monster Island for… MTV Productions. And why would MTV have an exclusive on a straight-to-DVD genre trailer anyway?
Our breaths are held. By the way, I’m willing to put 50 on mega shark, if anyone wants to take it.

It’s like Snakes On A Plane times a million! It’s like Freddy Vs Jason, but on viagra! It’s like a bj that bites and a octapussy that won’t let go!

imdb suggests it’s real.
Oh its real. I went into it excited. I thought there was no way this movie couldn’t be so horrible that it was awesome. Mega Shark, Giant Octopus, Debbie Gibson, Lorenzo Lamas..
The trailer had a fucking shark jumping into the sky and taking down a 747 for Christ sake…what could go wrong here? This was cinema gold!
The title, the idea, the trailer, the “stars”…it all seemed so perfect. Until I watched the movie. Its just dull as fuck.
This could have and should have been AWESOME. But no..it failed on even the so bad its good level.
They should have replaced the Giant Octopus with a Giant Shannon Doherty, Debbie Gibson with a fainting goat & Lorenzo Lamas with REYMON14 aka Internet God from YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joDKRBFIhzI …now that would be a fucking movie.
I’d watch it.
