    [STRIKE]'Oceans for Pathi'[/STRIKE] 'Oceans' is going to be a must-see film that this ocean lover just marked on his calendar (January 27, 2010 general release). Beyond the usual camera in a waterproof box, directors Jacques Cluzaud and Jacques Perrin even used mini remote-controlled helicopters hovering above the water to capture dramatic shots as shown below. This, spare-no-expense underwater film costs over $73 million USD and highlights over 500 hours of filiming in 50 locations that 'captured 80 species of fish, dolphins, whales, squid, lizards, crabs and turtles.'

    Filming 'Oceans'

    'In an attempt to tell the story of the oceans, we sought to open doors other than those of statistics: those of a fantastic and magical tale, the marvels of the little world of the coral reefs, the heroism of dolphins in full charge, the gracious dances of the humpback whale and giant squids, the horror of the attacks made on the oceans and to their creatures, the incredible spectacle of the sea unleashed in a titanic storm, the silence of a museum of extinct species,' said co-director Jacques Cluzaud.

    For more dramatic pics from this film check out the full story below and see you in line soon!

    EDIT-
    Looks like there was a title change which explains why 'Oceans for Pathi' did not bring much up.. now known as 'Oceans.'

    I believe it is a film for 73 million bucks!

    Oddly, I can't find a promotional Web site or much more details such as where it is released. :p

    Only 80 species between fish, dolphins, whales, squid, lizards, crabs and turtles??? That's not much at all. I can walk to my local beach and see a combined 30 -40 species alone :(

    Heck my tank has over 80 species in it :p

    With $70m I could get hundreds of species using a paper airplane ;)

    No joke, 80 SPECIES is NOTHING. When diving I see half that. I think they messed up their numbers ;)
