As the poet Yeats asked: “And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
\nSlouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”<\/p>\n

Well, folks, it’s a giant jellyfish. It may not be slouching towards Bethlehem, but it is heading towards a TV station or online site near you….<\/p>\n

Remember the giant jellyfish flick the Backbrain profiled back in August 2012, when we interviewed the director? No, well, go here<\/a> to jog your memory. There’s lots of squishy information.<\/p>\n

At any rate it’s called Hellyfish<\/strong> and is directed by Patrick Longstreth and Robert McLean.<\/p>\n

Now there’s a poster (above) and a new official trailer:<\/p>\n

Synopsis:<\/strong><\/p>\n

America’s only missing nuclear weapon is leaking radioactive material into the ocean just off the coast of Tybee Island, GA. The trifling existence of a hapless cast is disrupted by a vicious force of nature that shows no mercy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It will be a short film [13 minutes] — and will slouchingly reach its destination on Halloween 2014. First off though, it will be screening at the DC Shorts Film Festival<\/a> on Friday, September 11th at 7pm. <\/span>I’m rather keen to see it myself, though getting to Washington from Wollongong, Australia, that evening might be a bit impractical.<\/p>\n
