Here's a brief look at COBRA EFFECT
We had a piece on this film a couple of weeks ago that basically talked about how the film was in the script stage.... well... now we have more... Read for yourself...
yO HARRY, MICROVERSE BARON KARZA HERE.
here's the dirt on COBRA EFFECT:
THE STORY: Alice is a young forensic detective who finds the Cobra Virus, a
brain virus that causes its victims to develop a taste for flesh before
hemorrhaging to their death. With the help of veteran Littleberry, she
searches for the man who
engineered the virus to stop his rampage of death.
we've already seen this story--it's OUTBREAK. The difference between the two
is that this tale has an actual villain who engineered the plague, who's taken
out in the end. Act II is spent watching the virus spread (OUTBREAK, anyone?)
as our heroes detect the clues that lead them to the source (OUTBREAK,
anyone?) is pretty familiar. Script has a different scale, though, as The
Cobra Effect takes place in New York City--think Outbreak meets The Siege.
all in all, I was less than impressed. Let's hope even hollywood is not so
derivative to greenlight this one.
THE BARON
