Bride of Re-Animator director Brian Yuzna learned long ago that it was easier for him to ply his trade overseas than at home in the USA and so he's been busy working away in Spain for the past several years. His deal with Filmax has come to an end but that's certainly not about to slow the man down. Along with Dutch producer San Fu Maltha, Yuzna has just launched another internationally based production house, this one known as Komodo.
Based in Indonesia their plan with Komodo is to produce three genre pictures per year, drawing on the local talent pool. It's a smart idea, really. There's a lot of raw talent in Indonesia that could really benefit from an experienced hand like Yuzna's to guide them and being there gives him access to a cheap and talented labor pool. It's a deal that should benefit all involved.
The first production? Amphibious, the story of a gigantic, pre-historic, aquatic scorpion rising from the sea to wreak havoc. See? This is why we love Brian.
