unique concept that

location in Australia.

"Arac
Attack" News & Rumors
Arac cast grows again
January 19, 2001
The newest addition to the cast of
Centropolis' giant spider movie, "Arac Attack", has just been announced.
Cinescape Online has reported that Matt Czuchry has signed on to play an as yet
unannounced role in the film. Matt has had limited acting experience with his most
notable role being in the television series, "Young Americans". I have
just one complaint -- can Centropolis pleeease cast people with simple names? |

Arquette to be lead in 'Arac
Attack'? December 13, 2000:
Another tidbit of information came from the Mothership website today regarding the upcoming
Centropolis film, "Arac Attack":
According to an item in Daily Variety,
David Arquette is in "final negotiations," as opposed to what,
not-so-final-just-playing-around-negotiations, to take the lead in the upcoming comedy
monster movie ARACH ATTACK. The Centropolis Entertainment originating movie, ATTACK
tells the very 1950s style monster story of toxic sludge creating... GIANT SPIDERS. The
film came from a script by Jesse Alexander, who has recently been billed as penning Alex
Proyas adaptation of BERSERKERS. ATTACK is set for a late 2001 release. |

'Arac Attack' about to start
filming
July 3, 2000:
Cinescape Online has just confirmed
that 'Arac Attack' is a go:
A few weeks ago it was reported the Centropolis, the people who brought you Independence
Day, Godzilla, and now The Patriot, were planning a giant spider movie.
According to JAM! Showbiz
the project has now received the greenlight. "We're heading down to Australia
to produce Arac Attack. It's about a giant spider attack on a small town in
Nevada," says producer Dean Devlin. "It's kind of inspired by the 1955 sci-fi
classic Tarantula. It's going to be a small-budget, big-bug movie." |
