I bet all they had to do was tell the investors what it is — an Australian musical romantic zombie comedy with giant cephalopods — and the money must have come rolling in for $QUID. I’d pay to see it.
Although…the teaser does need more squid in it.

Everything does.

“Although…the teaser does need more squid in it.”
Er, that should be, more cowbell.
Does a giant squid have enough squid for you?
Now that’s acting. I can’t believe they kept straight faces during that dialog…and then singing!
I have to know more.
In Soviet Australia giant squid teases you.
I guess a trip to Oceania just moved a lot higher up the list, eh?
Does this mean the genre of the Noughties is gonna be mad science musicals?
A friendly request: I love me some cephalopods, but I can’t help thinking that this excellent blog would be even more spectacular if cuttlefish were better represented. I have nothing against squid or octopus, mind you, but there’s no need to be western-hemisphere-centric, and cuttlefish are just mind-staggeringly awesome.
Maybe the problem is that they’re apparently acidheads, at least the broadclub cuttlefish are (with pulsing psychedelic lines).
But seriously, what I’d like to know about cuttlefish is how they evolved the cuttlebone from a shell. It’s probably not all that hard, but I’ve never heard of how it happened.

Interesting character list for the full-length version on IMDB:
Josh Lawson … Chris / Tarzan
Ed Kavalee … Jess / Mickey Mouse
Christian Clark … Travis / James Dean
Henry Nixon … Alan / Uncle Fester
Lauren Lillie … Lucy Carter / Jane
Brooke Sheehan … Danielle / Mortisha
Oh yes, I will be seeing this movie given half the chance :)
But…where are the zombies? The squid is at least alluded to, but I wanna see some zombies, too!
Wait…it just occurred to me…have I misinterpreted “zombie”? Is it being used in place of “sleeper”, or are there really going to be undead with the squid? Personally, I’m hoping for undead, but I have a sneaking suspicion I may be wrong. Ah well, I still would love to see it :)
I’d pay to see it too, but no more than a couple of squid!
(Sorry! Where I come from, we say squid in place of quid in place of pounds – sterling, that is.)
Nice. Shades of “Dr. Horrible”.
Heh, I live on that river. I’d be more worried about the bullsharks if I fell in than any giant, vindictive, loanshark squid.
Looks like a bit of a small river for a giant squid to be hanging out although at least it’s brackish judging by the mangroves.
The investors are expecting their squid pro quo.
Sweet Merciless Crom, I sure hope so.
I agree there are definite squidist overtones to this blog. Acid or not, awesome is accurate.
My son and I were chasing a school one time (snorkelling off a Sydney beach). The adults spotted us and started talking in lights – tons of data exchanged, then 2 adults rounded up the young ones while the remaining adults swam toward us and taunted us to follow them (away from the young). Way kewl.
