Brian Yuzna Unleashing Giant Scorpion on Indonesia ...
Posted by Todd Brown at 10:21am.
Posted in Film News , Cult, Horror, Asia, USA & Canada.
Bride of Re-Animator director Brian Yuzna learned long ago that it was easier for him to ply his trade overseas than at home in the USA and so he’s been busy working away in Spain for the past several years. His deal with Filmax has come to an end but that’s certainly not about to slow the man down. Along with Dutch producer San Fu Maltha, Yuzna has just launched another internationally based production house, this one known as Komodo.
Based in Indonesia their plan with Komodo is to produce three genre pictures per year, drawing on the local talent pool. It’s a smart idea, really. There’s a lot of raw talent in Indonesia that could really benefit from an experienced hand like Yuzna’s to guide them and being there gives him access to a cheap and talented labor pool. It’s a deal that should benefit all involved.
The first production? Amphibious, the story of a gigantic, pre-historic, aquatic scorpion rising from the sea to wreak havoc. See? This is why we love Brian.

Sounds like another boring and crappy Sci-Fi Channel premiere. No, thanks. I’m not even opposed to nature amock type flicks but please make it a more interesting critter than yet another friggin’ snake, scorpion or spider. See, BLACK SHEEP had the right idea… Take an unusual and generally regarded as harmless or even cute type of animal, make it a man-eating monster and run with it. While I’m sure I can’t be the only one who didn’t manage to stiffle a yawn right upon reading “giant scorpion” any film that deals with man-eating giraffes or rabid ostriches would definitely get some notice.

Ha! I just finished reading Un Lun Dun by China Mieville, there are man eating giraffes in that ...
Caterpillar 08/28/2007 @ 9:50pm
I didn’t know that! I’ve only read PERDIDO from him. I may have to pick this one up, though… Are the giraffes a significant part of the story?
By the way, another example of man-eating giraffes can be found in Uziga Waita’s splatter porn manga DEATH PANDA. And yeah, it obviously also features killer panda bears.

Lemurs. The world needs killer Lemurs. (or failing that possums or sloths)
Todd Brown 08/28/2007 @ 10:43pm
The giraffes are referenced a lot but only actually appear once. It’s a fun book, kind of his answer to Neverwhere ...

I’d be soooooooooooooooooo down with a killer megatherium (extinct giant sloth) flick…
