Sea Monsters: NG film for Oct. 2007

[mariusromanus@aol.com]

I was wondering around Mike Everhart's Oceans of Kansas website and 
stumbled over this... Apparently, National Geographic made a 
documentary of sorts about the Cretaceous Interior Seaway.  It comes 
out this October.

Accompany a team of palaeontologists as they work to solve an 
82-million-year-old mystery ...

Stunning photo-realistic computer-generated animation transports 
audiences back to the Late Cretaceous, when a great inland ocean 
divided North America in two. The film will follow a curious and 
adventurous dolichorynchops (familiarly known as a 'dolly') as she 
travels through life's stages, experiencing the world from her spot 
near the bottom of the food chain. Along the way, she'll encounter 
long-necked pleisosaurs, giant turtles, enormous fish, ferocious 
flippered crocs, fierce sharks, and the most dangerous sea monsters of 
all, the mosasaurs.

Sea Monsters weaves together a series of palaeontological digs from 
around the globe in a compelling story about scientists working as 
prehistoric detectives to answer questions about this ancient and 
mysterious ocean world. Viewers accompany modern and historical 
palaeontologists to remote locations as they excavate the remains of 
some of the most awe-inspiring creatures of all time, and together 
they'll discover fossils which shed light on exactly what happened to 
the film's incredible cast of characters.

The film combines the powerful and experiential nature of the giant 
screen with strong science and educational materials, highlighting the 
complexity and fragility of life in Earth's oceans. Merging 
ultra-high-resolution 3D graphics with National Geographic's trademark 
authenticity, compelling imagery and powerful storytelling, Sea 
Monsters is an unforgettable prehistoric adventure.
