Sharktopus Concept Art Vs. Sharktopus Trailer

The trailer for the SyFy monster film Sharktopus was released and its hilarious. You can read our post on the trailer at Geek Twins. Concept art for the film by Matt Leach was released last year and it looks quite a bit different from the final product.


The original looked like a huge hulking creature frothing the water in a life or death battle against a destroyer.


In the actual film, the oceans are calm. The boat is smaller and the beast is smaller. You can't tell here, but they also added a bunch of spikes and scales which isn't native to the shark or octopus. Personally, I like the concept art better, but with a name like "Sharktopus" it has to be good.

Matt is really good at creating bizarre imagery so make sure you check out his other work at http://www.mcleach.com/illustration.html

What do you think of Sharktopus? Will you be watching it?

  1. I love that design. It makes a lot of sense. Never understood why they put spikes on it, either
