Now the British summer has made a belated reappearance, we can expect a few downsides such as hay fever, sunburn and insect bites - but no flying pests in our gardens can rival Dragon Wasps. And a can of the standard repellent probably won't do much good either.
This giant creature feature is written by Mark Atkins. His previous genre outings include numerous hit-inspired 'mockbusters' such as Snakes on a Train, 30,000 Leagues Under The Sea, War of the Worlds 2, Allan Quartermain and the Temple of Skulls, Princess of Mars (an alternative version of John Carter), Battle of Los Angeles and Avh: Alien vs Hunter.
He's also been involved in several dragon-themed productions including Dragonquest, Merlin and the War of the Dragons, and Dragon Crusaders.
Now offering an insect slant on the concept, the cast of Dragon Wasps features Corin Nemec (Stargate Sg-1, Smallville, Supernatural), Dominika Juillet (Dark Angel), Benjamin Easterday...

Welcome to the second installment of Blogomatic3000′s soundtrack round-up, this time focusing on the scores of Chris Ridenhour and in particular his work with mockbuster kings The Asylum.
Chris Ridenhour moved to Los Angeles in the late 90’s to work for film composer/orchestrator Todd Hayen and his wife Janice. During his tenure with the Hayens, Chris worked on the scores of Mark Isham, Lalo Schifrin, Gary Chang, John Debney, Shirley Walker, and many others.
in 2007 Ridenhour began composing for the production company The Asylum — with things taking off after he composed the music for Journey to the Center of the Earth in 2008. Since that time he has worked on about twenty of their films, including the widely popular Megashark vs Giant Octopus, Princess of Mars, Mega Piranha, Dragonquest,The Hitchhiker, and Transmorphers.

From the Press Release:
“I think the first time I saw the now famous scene where a giant shark eats a passenger plane midair in Megashark vs. Giant Octopus,” said Ridenhour, “I knew that film would become part of pop culture, and it has!”
Mega Shark earned a cult following after it aired on SyFy in the Us, and it earned Ridenhour a fan -- Moviescore Media’s founder Mikael Carlsson. Said Carlsson, “As an homage to Decca’s classical genre-orientated Bernard Herrmann albums that presented score selections in suite form,...
