GIANT PIRANHA!



It seems that we will have a movie about the Pantanal, made by Giros, a company from Rio, in partnership with IMC Brasil, which represents IMAX in Brazil. Pantanal LLC, a company based in the US that created the project, would give the opportunity to work in the production to other Brazilian companies, besides Giros; and the opportunity to local sponsors to get involved. This would be done with resources from the National Science Foundation (NSF), which supports exhibitions in many museums and in scientific centers, especially in the US and Canada.





The Pantanal region

Many people around the world will have the opportunity to learn more about another place of Brazil that they have never heard about. Pantanal is as exotic and beautiful as the Brazilian beaches and the Amazonia jungle. I’m looking forward to watch the beauties (and dangers!) from the west center of Brazil here in North America. And no, it is going to be the horror (maybe a trash-Jaws-movie-version???) of the poster above.
