Bermuda Oil Shark

            A south Florida marine engineer and boat-building enthusiast is called on assignment to investigate mysterious damage done to an oil derrick just off the east coast, and just inside of the Bermuda triangle.  He leaves his small town just before the annual home-made boat race, and begins investigating the mysterious damage to the derrick.  While he’s there a second accident results in two repairmen being eaten by an inky black shark, and the scientist calls a biologist friend to join in the investigation.  Sure enough, they learn that a family of sharks have become mutated due to irresponsible drilling practices, and that they now thrive on oil.

            As the sharks grow, their appetite increases, and when they can no longer satisfy themselves with the leaking pollutant, they tear into the oil derrick, destroying it from the bottom up.  The engineer and the biologist narrowly escape, and must race to shore in a home-made boat to warn their hometown of the nasty beasts inhabiting the trade-wind propelled oil spill.

            They survive another conflict with the beast in route, and make it to shore ahead of the oil, in the midst of the home-made boat race.  The shark is hot on their heels, and the engineer is just able to save his family as carnage ensues.  Battle begins between the shark and the townsfolk, a battle made all the more dangerous because these sharks not only breathe oil, but also spray boiling tar from glands in their throats.  And when the oily surface of the water catches fire… well, then all hell really breaks loose.

Time Shark

            Pop!  Three men and a woman appear in the water in the middle of the ocean, all wearing fancy wetsuits with shiny light-up panels.  They discuss how they guess they have come back too far, and laugh a bit until they realize that they are being circled by a shark with a bone ridged fin.  The woman takes a few pictures using a camera built into her suit, but then the shark turns to attack the group.  They briefly mess with matching bracelets that they all wear, and with a pop they disappear.

            In the present, the group appears on the beach at an island research facility.  We learn that they are temporal archivists who are mapping the past, and that they believed this island might be the geographical point where life began.  They go out into the water to place chrono-tracking devices and all is going well when suddenly one of the men is eaten by an enormous shark.  Another of the men lays chase to the shark to get revenge but suddenly the shark disappears.  The time jump bracelet in its stomach is auto-skipping back through time.

            Now the remaining three archivists must chase the time shark into the past, using the resources of each regressive era to hunt the beast.  The potential crisis:  If the shark continues to skip back through time, it could feasibly eat the creature that first crawled out of the sea, and thus end life on Earth as we know it.  As they fail to capture the creature in each century, the archivists come up with one last ditch effort.  If they can find a way to pit the time shark against its own distant ancestor, maybe they can effectively erase it from existence and save mankind.

Seawulf

A deep-sea modernization of the first two thirds of Beowulf.   When a strange sea beast begins killing off the workers on an eccentric millionaire’s oceanic research center, an infamous bounty hunter with a tortured past is called in to put the creature down.  He eventually wounds the beast, and a team is assembled to pursue the creature to its lair, where they must then do battle with its more formidable mother. 

Proteus

Scientists link unusual occurrences in a coastal region to a mysterious shape-shifting being which they believe may hold the key to complete manipulation of human genetics.  But of course this creature isn’t particularly keen on being captured, and his interconnectedness with the global ecosystem may mean a fate worse than localized disaster if ever he is subdued.  (Based on the ancient Greek God Proteus)

Atlantis Rising

            Underwater drilling in the Bermuda triangle causes a violent shifting of tectonic plates resulting in the discovery of a new continent that rises out of the water revealing a long dead city.  Scientists are fascinated for a short time before it becomes apparent that the new world is still rising and that it will likely crush half of Florida.  Simultaneously explorations and evacuations are frantically executed as it remains to be seen what happens when New Worlds Collide.
