Roboshark

Roboshark (2015)

IT'S A HYBRID OF HORROR.

What starts off as a typical day on the streets of Seattle soon becomes a terrifying bloodbath, when a great white shark devours an alien space probe…and ROBOSHARK is born. The U.S. military comes after it with guns blazing, but it’s the power of social media that puts an ambitious newscaster and her tech-savvy daughter ahead of everyone else in the race to stop the destruction.

Interesting facts

Roboshark is a 2015 Bulgarian-Canadian television film, directed and co-written by Jeffery Scott Lando. Co-written and co-produced by Phillip Roth. Roboshark is a "gonzo shark film", a "tongue-in-cheek creature feature" which satirically blends action, comedy, and science fiction. The film premiered at the start of Syfy Channel's second annual Sharknado week on 18 July 2015.

Production

The Bulgarian Unified Film Organization (UFO International Productions LLC during production), is Phillip Roth's production company, which generally makes modern low-budget genre films shot in Bulgaria, while director Jeffery Lando has made many other low-budget horror and science-fiction films. The same year, Lando released Suspension, which won Best Director at Montreal HorrorFest.

Roboshark was shot primarily in Sofia, Bulgaria, as well as in Seattle.

A trailer for the film was posted online in early July 2015. The shark's fictional Twitter account is mirrored by a real account by the filmmakers, following those among the audience who posted tweets the night of the first television broadcast and retweeting some of their messages.
