Some days, I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say when I write these headlines . . .
Anywho, I guarantee there will not be one singing crab in director Nicholas Humphries spin on The Little Mermaid, which in turn was based on Hans Christian Anderson's classic mermaid tale. In fact, we in The Basement are pretty sure this is going more for horror romp than Disney musical.
Set during the 1930s, Mermaid's Song tells the story of young Charlotte, who is struggling to keep the family business afloat. When gangster Randall offers to pay off the family debt, he demands illegal changes be made to the business. However, Charlotte is a mermaid capable of controlling humans with her voice, creating a battle between those who want Charlotte's magical power for themselves.
OK, this probably has very little to do with The Little Mermaid at all. Just shut up and watch the trailer.
Nope, not a single singing sea creature to be seen. Still, this could be an entertaining bit of Friday night beer cinema. And Iwan Rheon of Game of Throne's is in it, for fans of that series.
Mermaid's Song hits digital Sept. 18. So, yeah . . . tomorrow!
