Radha & Vartan to Deal With a "Rogue" Crocodile
ComingSoon.net shares a bit of news reported E! News, and it's something that should please the fans of the killer-animal flicks. Greg McLean, writer/director of the upcoming "Wolf Creek," will lens "Rogue" down in Australia, which is a thriller about a giant croc that terrorizes the outback.
CS.net says: "E! News is reporting that Michael Vartan ("Alias," "Monster-in-Law") and Radha Mitchell (the upcoming "Silent Hill") will star in writer/director Greg McLean's "Rogue" for The Weinstein Co.
The film, about a giant crocodile stalking tourists in the Australian outback, will shoot Down Under. Pre-production is reportedly taking place in Port Melbourne.
Five years ago, the script centered on a cynical U.S. travel writer who goes on a river cruise captained by a tough Australian woman and finds himself among a group of people stranded on a tidal mud island.
McLean, who also wrote and directed "Wolf Creek," previously said, "The thing about crocodiles is that they are scary if you just tell the truth about them.""

on Oct 31 2005 12:56 PM Didn't they do something awfully similar in "Lake Placid," I think it was called. Then again, these "giant animals kill randomly" movies are all pretty much the same. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 14 2006 05:55 AM Radha was very good in "Man on Fire". I'm looking forward to seeing Vartan and Mitchell on screen together. This film should be along the lines of "Jaws" and "Alien", which were both excellent movies and ground breaking for their genre. (Reply to this) |
