Producers Mark Sennett and David Ginsburg optioned the rights to the Charles Wilson book in an attempt to compete with Touchstone's MEGALODON. Of the various Megalodon-based projects of the late 90's, this was one that never got made. Those that did were SHARK HUNTER, SHARK ATTACK 3: MEGALODON and Corbitt and Tunnicliffe's MEGALODON (not to be confused with the Touchstone project).
