Urban shark attack

New Zealand filmmakers Andrew Todd and Johnny Hall are making a horror film inspired by a road trip which took them through the town of Oamaru. They describe the moment: “We passed through Oamaru, which has a lot of old turn-of-the-century buildings, and is right on the coast. We thought it’d be a great place to do a ghost movie, then we saw some locations that were right out of Jaws, and we kinda just looked at each other and went ‘Ghost Shark’!” And sometimes a movie concept is so awesome that you have to make the sequel first. This is the premise: “When Ghost Shark escapes from his extradimensional prison to terrorise Auckland, Mayor Broody calls in an expert ghost shark hunter to protect the citizens and finally defeat the creature.” “God. Damn. Brilliant,” writes ‘Scott’ of the trailer for movie site Gunaxin. Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws is in production in Auckland now.
