    JAWS-of the Mississippi?



    No, Jaws of the Mississippi is not the title of a recently discovered Mark Twain manuscript that pits Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin in a life-or-death battle with a Great White shark ("We're gonna need a bigger raft!"). It is, however, the title of a new killer shark movie involving a radioactive Great White prowling the freshwaters of the Mississippi River.

    Yes, a radioactive shark, but not of the glowing atomic age monster variety, in case you're expecting something truly outlandish. I'll let the Active Entertainment plot synopsis explain the premise:

    "A massive hurricane devastates the Gulf of Mexico, with it a US government’s top-secret anti-bioterrorism facility. When one of its highly radioactive chemicals spills into the ocean it triggers mutations in a great white shark, enabling its adaptation to survive in freshwater. As this shark reeks havoc on local Mississippi River towns it poses the additional risk of spreading this radioactive material and contaminating the entire freshwater system of the United States. Local fisherman Ward and his hillbilly crew are secretly hired to hunt down this shark, and when they find it threatening a group of teenage boaters, Ward must face his troubled past to save these kids and prevent further catastrophe."

    Jaws of the Mississippi based on an original script by Leigh Scott (Transmorphers,The Dunwich Horror) with directing duties falling in the lap of Griff Furst (I Am Omega, Wolvesbayne). No casting news just yet.

    This shark is most likely bound for the network soon to be known as SyFy. I know - you're shocked.

    I'd like to see a Great White take on a riverboat.

    Any chance it's some sort of indirect, straight to tv sequel?

    Jaws itself is a trademark title. This is using the word jaws in another title. It's easy and legal for them to use and cash in on.

    I guess that maybe they'd be protected under parody laws, but still, even the print makes it look like a direct to DVD/TV Jaws sequel. Pretty ballsy to try and pull off.

    Not really. There's no real laws against them making the word jaws stand out in the title. I mean, just think about every film that has the word Living Dead in it. Or all those "Don't" films.

    Now, it it were Jaws: The Mississippi, or Jaws IN Mississippi... there might be some legal fight to get the title changed.

    "Too bad" was the first thought to cross my mind upon reading that post.

    Kinda funny because I actually just got back from a ocean fishing trip off the coast of Biloxi and I heard the captain on the radio with the Coast Guard telling him of a supposed White Shark sighting in our area. This is the only time of year you see them in my area of ocean because they're migrating.

    Looks like the same people who make all those stupid knock off films are behind this. No chance in hell this'll be good, maybe not even worth watching under the influence of drug or drink.
