| Source: 100% Entertainment Oil...the quest for it is unrelenting. The search for new reserves of the 'black gold' never-ending and leading the search Nexecon Petroleum and its flagship, the largest drilling and refining platform ever constructed, 'Colossus" located in the freezing North Atlantic waters off the coast of Greenland. 'Colossus' will drill deeper than any rig ever has, a fact that gratifies Nexecon CEO, Peter Brazier, but that has geologists the world over up in arms, concerned that delicate ocean floor fault lines could be disturbed with catastrophic effects. Skeptical news reporter Christen Giddings and her cameraman Jake Thompson are invited by Brazier to document the safety of 'Colossus.' The powerful drill tears through the seabed, striking a rich oil deposit. As the drill penetrates further, it ruptures a fissure that reveals a second 'mirror' ocean that has existed beneath ours for millions of years. An ocean teeming with prehistoric life. As the choking oil poisons the water, the frenzied creatures swarm for the surface. Colossus buckles under the onslaught. Brazier, Christen, and a team of engineers descend in Colossus' glass elevator to assess the damage and come face to face with the most powerful oceanic predator that ever lived. Carcharodon Megalodon. The giant ancestor of the Great White Shark. This eleven-ton 'killing machine' quickly stakes its territory in the waters surrounding Colossus with disastrous and horrific consequences, destroying and devouring anything in its path. Now fate will pull them together as they wager their changes of survival against the most fearsome creature that ever dominated the ocean, and pit the technology and machinery of man against beast. Megalodon...sixty feet of prehistoric terror. |

invades studio By David Koch Register-News Friday, March 9, 2001 BORDENTOWN CITY- The world's largest oil rig has just been built off the coast of Greenland in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. A one-man submersible doing repair work beneath it is violently hit on its side. The operator turns the craft and faces "60 feet of prehistoric terror." Megalodon has awoken, and he's mad. Movie-making has come to Bordentown City, where some scenes from the new major motion picture "Megalodon," are being shot at Riverview Studios. The film is being produced by Pat Corbitt, owner of the Old Bridge-based Corbitt Design, Inc., and Stanley Isaacs. "Megalodon" is an action-adventure picture about an oil rig that causes a fissure into another sea beneath the ocean floor. The sea contains prehistoric fish, including the 60-foot man-eating Megalodon, which causes havoc on the oil rig. Some movie scenes that take place inside the submersible sub were filmed last week in a warehouse at Riverview Studios. The shark, along with the oil rig, the ocean, and the exterior of the submersible are all being created with a computer. "Megalodon" is being shot in HDTV format, the same format George Lucas is using for the next "Star Wars" movie. Computer animators Brian Dean and Dan Dipiero then take the finished film and create the computer compositing work. They will take real people and put them in front of synthetic backgrounds. "When you take all the real actors and helicopters and add the synthetic scenes, it looks like a big environment," said Mr. Corbitt. The film is directed by Mr. Corbitt and Gary Tunnicliffe, who wrote the screenplay with Mr. Corbitt's co-producer, Mr. Isaacs. Mr. Tunnicliffe has been a special effects designer on such movies as "Sleepy Hollow," "Blade" and "Mission Impossible 2." The script for "Megalodon" was inspired by the fictional great white shark "Jaws" and the true story of a prehistoric fish, previously thought to be extinct, that was caught off the coast of Madagascar. The Megaladon was the largest ocean predator that ever existed on Earth until it became extinct millions of years ago. It was longer than a school bus and had teeth the size of human hands. "The prehistoric aspect of these movies has always interested me," said Mr. Tunnicliffe. The cost of the movie is under $1 million. The production crew was already into the third day of shooting on March 1, and is expected to be finished in a month. Computer imaging and preparation has been going on for a year. Actor Al Sapienza, who plays sub operator Eliot Ross, was attracted to the movie because he considers it "ground-breaking." "Three-fourths of this movie is created through computer-generated imaging such as the whole ocean and the shark," said Mr. Sapienza. "It's the first in a certain kind of movie." Mr. Sapienza is best known for playing Mikey Palmice on HBO's "The Sopranos." Mr. Sapienza's co-star is Jennifer Sommerfield, who plays his love interest, Maz, also a submersible operator. Ms. Sommerfield has appeared in the movie "The Perfect Storm" and an episode of TV's "Friends." Along with the submarine scenes, a TV newscast scene is also expected to be filmed at Riverview. "Riverview offers us the perfect creative environment to shoot our sub scenes, and a TV production facility environment already exists," said Mr. Corbitt in a press release. A scene involving a helicopter was filmed last Wednesday at Allaire Airport in Wall. Shooting is also scheduled at an old BP Refinery in Paulsboro for scenes on top of the oil rig. The background for both scenes will be computer generated. Jim Parker, president of Riverview Studios, says the movie is "a nice change of pace from the day-to-day corporate type of things that we do." This is the first movie ever shot at Riverview. Mr. Parker and his staff have done short films for the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. His studio is also where "Catholic Corner" and "Bishop's Appeal" is shot for the Archdiocese of Trenton. "This is a nice opportunity for Bordentown," said Mr. Parker. "You got a crew here of 40 to 50 people, who have to eat and sleep. We're glad to be a part of it." Mr. Corbitt has been working in computer animation for the past 25 years. He was one of the first to help television stations install green screens in weather forecasts for news shows. He plans on doing five other movies, all to be shot in New Jersey. The next production will be "Crush Depth," written by Mr. Corbitt, about an alien warrior who has been trapped underneath the ocean since the 1950s. Mr. Corbitt ultimately hopes to help make New Jersey a movie-making center. "What we're trying to do is work with the New Jersey Film Commission and the government and try to bring some of that new wave in synthetic technology back home," he said. New Jersey is where the movie camera was invented, and the first silent films were produced in the Garden State. "Megalodon" is expected to be completed in the next couple of months and released theatrically late summer or early fall. |
