Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf – formerly Sharktopus vs. Mermantula – is a 2015 American sci-fi horror film directed by Kevin O’Neill (Dinocroc; Dinoshark; Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda). Scripted by Matt Yamashita, the leads are Casper Van Dien (Sleepy Hollow; Python; The Pact) and his real-life partner Catherine Oxenberg (The Lair of the White Worm).
The film also stars Akari Endo (Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda), Sarodj Bertin, Gökdeniz Özcetin, Yasser Michelén, Mario Ceara, Olga Valdez.
The movie is a sequel to Sharktopus (2010) and — like Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda — was originally rushed into production by veteran genre filmmaker Roger Corman for his New Horizons company in response to the massive social media interest in Syfy’s Sharknado films. However, somewhere along the way the movie’s other monster has mutated from being a part-man, part-piranha and part-tarantula into a part-killer whale and part-wolf! Could this be because werewolf films such as WolfCop have recently been hits?
The film premieres on Syfy on Sunday July 19, 2015.
