Sharktopus
Saturday, September 25 on Syfy (9-11 p.m. ET)
Sharktopus is about a research scientist (Eric Roberts/"The Dark Knight," "Heroes") and his talented daughter who develop a secret military weapon – a hybrid shark/octopus that can be controlled by electrical implants. But when the controls break down, the monster goes on a killing rampage at the resort beaches of Mexico.
Eric Roberts received Golden Globe nominations for his starring roles in "King of the Gypsies" (1978) and Star 80 (1983). He was nominated for the 1985 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the escaped convict Buck in the film "Runaway Train." In 1987, he won the Theatre World Award for his Broadway debut performance in "Burn This."
Roger Corman, who received an Honorary 2010 Oscar, is the legendary director and producer of numerous low-budget cult classics, among them "It Conquered the World," "Teenage Doll," "The Little Shop of Horrors," "House of Usher," "Pit and the Pendulum," "Premature Burial," "The Raven," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Wild Angels" and "The Trip."
