The Dorsal Fin

Eric Cheng posted some amazing whale shark footage to his blog/journal yesterday. The footage was shot off Isla Mujeres, and according to Cheng’s journal they had over 500 whale sharks around the island. Cheng’s work never ceases to amaze. In addition to the video above, Cheng has posted an exceptional close-up shot of a “whale shark gulp” in both 2D and anaglyph 3D versions in his recent blog/journal entry.

Last week Cinema Blend ran a story about a Jaws remake (in 3D, no less), which made mention of Tracy Morgan playing the role of Hooper. Based on the Cinema Blend article, I’m assuming that it’s nothing but nonsense. Morgan recently appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show and was asked about the rumors. If the mention of Morgan having a starring role in Jaws isn’t enough to turn you off to the idea of the remake, this video should do the trick.

Tracy Morgan as Hooper is ridiculous. Tracy Morgan as Chief Brody is even more ridiculous. Tracy Morgan as Quint? Yeah, I think it’s safe to go ahead and call shenanigans on the Tracy Morgan and Jaws rumors from Cinema Blend.
