German television ZDF, together with Game of Thrones executive producer Frank Doelger, is venturing into international TV series market waters with an expensive effort of making an eight part English language series out of Frank Schaetzing's THE SWARM world best selling novel! The story is actually a global environmental thriller set in a present day where anomalies and unnatural behaviour in marine animals are causing upheaval all over the world. Millions of strange worms suddenly appear on the bottom of the North Sea, drilling their way through frozen methane, threatening to destabilize the entire continental

shelf. Swarms of mussels stop large vessels from manoeuvring. Toxic jellyfish, lobsters and whales start attacking human beings along the coasts of the world. It follows a global group of scientists and military who come together to tackle one of the biggest challenges mankind has ever faced. They make the chilling discovery that we are not the only intelligent species on this planet – and that deep down at the bottom of the sea resides a collective intelligence which has suffered the ravages of civilization on its habitat and decided to fight back.
STUNNING 'AIR STRIKE' TRAILER
SENDS BRUCE WILLIS AND ADRIEN BRODY INTO WORLD WAR 2
Air Strike strikes cinemas and VOD October
I've presented you with this one earlier this year, but now it has been announced that BruceWillis WW2 epic drama AIR STRIKE (aka The Bombing) will hit US cinemas October 26th and VOD at the very same time. Also starring Adrien Brody and Asian super stars Fan Bingbing, Ye Liu and Nicholas Tse, the movie is set during World War II following five different Chinese people who fight their way through Japanese Air Force attacks to protect an important military machine in Chongqing, 1940. Bruce Willis plays a U.S. Army colonel who trains Chinese aviators to battle Japanese fighters! The movie was shot with a rather expensive $65 million budget! And did I tell you Mel Gibson is the artistic producer?
I think we should all read the novel and watch the movie. "The Swarm" is not some sci-fi thriller; it could be real. During the last decades natural disasters have increased in number and intensity. We're helpless about it, and yet we cannot ignore the situation.
I agree with Duta. It most definitely could be real. Look at all of these floods and earthquakes and hurricanes. I don't know if it's just the way the earth operates or it it's because of man, but something massive will more than likely wipe us out some day. I just hope I'm not here to see it.
Don't forget the scorching heat which we've all experienced in our parts of the world. We is gonna turn into Venus in a decade or two. You'll probably enjoy it, but poor Jason and Dezzy...

it's just a question of time when something of that proportions will hit us, if it hasn't already started as you say.
