Syfy’s director of original movie Karen O’Hara tweeted this:

Just got off the phone with the legendary Roger Corman who’s doing a new movie for us this year. Yes, it’s the long-rumored SHARKTOPUS! . . . Spent half an hour discussing what a sharktopus should look like, how many mouths it should have and how it should kill. (via io9)

Wow, a half hour? That’s actually kind of a long time to talk about a sharktopus, isn’t it? “Okay, so, it’s like a shark, but it has tentacles, right?” “Right.” “So, next order of business: number of mouths. Is three going to be enough?” “Let’s be safe and go with four.” “Cool. And what should sharktopus eat?” “Duh! Everything!”
