Los Angeles needs an exterminator
Mike Mendez is about to apply his sinister sensibilities to the giant bug genre.
The director of The Convent and Gravedancers is currently in pre-production on Mega Spider and we’ve landed the art and synopsis. Given his previous credits – and the producers behind this project – I suspect this will be a cut above the usual mammoth-spider-run-amok fare.
Shooting begins soon, we’ll have a cast update for you shortly!
Surviving extermination by nuclear eradication, a horrible alien mutation in arachnid form is now growing at an exponential rate and making its way toward downtown Los Angeles. Hot on its spindly heels is a crack military unit with absolute authority, lead by an obsessively driven commander and his beautiful but lethal sidekick.
Unfortunately for them, this mutant spider has an array of deadly defenses including the ability to virtually disappear through camouflage. But the creatureâs real adversary quickly turns out to be a hot-shot local exterminator armed only with cocky attitude, some fast one-liners and his home-made gadgets. Joining forces with the military team, this blue-collar hero sets out to exterminate what has now become a monstrous 10-story tall MEGA SPIDER.
