Steve Alten’s Digital Series ‘Where Sea Monsters Roam’ Unleashes Aquatic Horrors With First Trailer [Exclusive]
The most terrifying sea monsters in history… are no longer history.
NY Times and international best-selling author Steve Alten, the writer of the Meg books that made their way onto the big screen back in 2018, is back this summer with brand new project Sea Monster Cove, billed as “a never before seen form of virtual entertainment.”
Along with an immersive 360VR experience and a multi-player game, as well as an educational center, tours, e-store and more, SeaMonsterCove.com will host the episodic “Where Sea Monsters Roam,” a 13-episode digital series directed by and starring Maxime Ginolin.
The official press release sent to BD today explains, “Every month a new episode of the series will be released along with other perks within the virtual park. To thank the “early birds” the first 10,000 visitors will be offered V.I.P. membership, providing the most privileges and bonuses at the guaranteed lowest price of only $9.95 a month.”
In “Where Sea Monsters Roam”:
“While in the Northern Marianas on assignment, marine biologist Dr. Maxime Rostand performs an emergency C-section on what he believes is a pregnant Basking shark caught in the net of a Taiwanese fishing trawler, only to discover a new species – Carcharocles daemonium – a 60-foot prehistoric Mako. Only two of the dead female’s fifteen pups survive; Snowflake (an albino) and Layla (pure black demon). Faced with a choice of killing the sharks or risk introducing an ancient apex predator into our oceans, Dr. Rostand and his companions decide to raise the siblings in Maug’s lagoon which they believe shares the same hot mineral waters as the mysterious habitat from which their mother fled – a lost primordial aquifer that dates back 330 million years.”

Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
