Sounds bad from the get go and probably end up being shown in Sci Fi Channel...
(I know Deb dated Llamas several years ago, thankfully she's now linked to a doctor...who's a not a celebrity)
I wonder what Deb's role is?
Also if her character ends up as CGI creature food or not...

I don't follow Sifi so I am not totally sure what all this is about. The thing sounds stupid too me.

I'm suprised that Deb is actually part of this. Though sounds like something I'd read on April Fools.

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus vs. Lorenzo Lamas vs. Debbie Gibson in 3D
3D Debbie Gibson Lorenzo Lamas Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus The Asylum
With 3D being the latest cinematic craze it only figures The Asylum would get in on the act and, let's face it, we all knew sooner of later we'd have to deal with the possibility of Lorenzo Lamas projecting himself out of our television sets right into our living room. We'll get both and a former 80's teen pop sensation too in Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. May God have mercy on our souls.
Filming has just begun on Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, a non-mockbuster blockbuster from our friends at The Asylum that's being shot in 3-D. The writer-director of this epic 3-D smackdown between macro-sized undersea predators is Ace Hannah AKA Jack Perez, the maker of MTV's Monster Island and The Asylum's 666: The Child. Not sure why he's using the "Ace Hannah" moniker but I am sure "Ace Hannah" sounds like it should be the name of Lorenzo Lamas' character.
Yep! This epic battle between colossal carcharodon and super-sized cephalopod off the coast of California will star none other than the man, the myth, the legend - Lorenzo Lamas. He's no novice when it comes to killer sharks having starred in the Sci-Fi Channel's Dark Waters. He's a sophomore when it comes to starring in Asylum productions; you may or may not remember him as the star of their 30,000 Leagues Under The Sea. This film should mark the first time in ages Lorenzo Lamas has given a fully three-dimensional acting performance. ZING~!
Joining in the ominous oceanic action will be one Deborah Gibson. You remember Debbie Gibson, the late Eighties teen pop tart who sang such timeless hits as "Electric Youth", "Only in My Dreams", and "Shake Your Love"? In recent years she started calling herself 'Deborah', posed in Playboy, starred on Broadway, and now finds herself alongside Lorenzo Lamas in a 3D Asylum production about a really big shark battling an equally big octopus. That is the American dream personified right there; is it not?
You too will get a chance to live the American dream when you bear witness to the monumental 3-D tooth vs. tentacle naval warfare that will be Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus when it washes ashore to DVD shelves on May 19th, 2009. Mark you calendars. NOW!
I've been writing about The Asylum for years and most of it hasn't been pretty. This time ... This time I'm not going to get negative (at least not until I've seen it for myself and get my heart broken). I want to see Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. I want Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus to be fun, not another stinker like Supercroc or Alien vs. Hunter or a nothing-happening crapfest like Monster. I want to be entertained. I honestly, truly, genuinely want to see The Asylum succeed with this one. And I think they can do it too if they put some effort into it.
Know what else I want? I want a screener copy. How much money out of my own pocket have I spent renting Asylum films? How much time out of my own life have I spent watching and writing about Asylum movies? I want an advance screener of Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus in 3-D when it becomes available. I know somebody at The Asylum is reading this. I want to be sent a preview copy of this one. I don't think that's asking too much. And not like the last time you guys sent me a screener and it arrived in my mailbox three days after the DVD was already on the shelves at Blockbuster. Don't make me put you on notice!

My guess is that Deborah playes the research scientist/oceanographer and Lorenzo plays the man who's got the weapons to take them out. This kind of sounds like a remake of a movie from the '70s about a giant octopus that terrorized the California coast. This won't win any awards but what the hell, I'll watch it anyway.

Since the site states "Lorenzo Lamas vs. Debbie Gibson", I wonder if Deb's character's would be portrayed as a "villian" (or a character that doesn't want to harm the creatures) or vice versa.
I've actually watched bad CGI creature movies on Sci Fi when nothing else was on, though not anymore. Though I'll admit that I liked "Tremors" as a kid (for some reason, I think animatronics look more believable than CGI).

I think that the "Lorenzo Lamas vs. Debbie Gibson" is probably just a play on the title.

Sci-Fi Channel will probably have it on at some point.

Thanks to a tip from Deb's Official Website message board I was able to find the DVD for the grand total of $5 at a local Wal-Mart. I stopped by there on the way home tonight and was really surprised I was able to find it so easily. The post about it being sold at Wal-Mart was posted about a month ago. SO I thought it would no longer be avilable but I found it quite easily. I was going to rent it but If I could find a place that rented it, It would probably be about the same price to rent it as I paid for it.
I just finished watching the movie and it was quite corny. It some parts it was quite funny. I did not know sharks could eat an airplane or the Golden Gate Bridge. The movie was good for a laugh. If it were not for Deb I probably would not even have known about the movie.
The movie did hold my interest though all the way to the end which is something that some of todays movies (COUGHCOGHALICEINWONDERLANDCOUGHCOUGH) fail to do. I nearly walked out on Alice (Horrible movie) when I saw it in the theater.
Mega Shark was not the best movie I have ever seen but it was a good way to escape for 90 minutes and see Deb in a Movie.

The closest I've watched the movie was watching a review at That Guy With The Glasses site few weeks ago (it wasn't slammed by Nostalgia Critic, though I give the person props for not dissing Deb).
