Production [edit]
Roger Corman explained that for each of the 350+ films he's produced, "I really worked rather efficiently," Corman said, "I planned very heavily in advance."[2] He told the Toronto Star that he hopes to premiere the film at Comic-Con in July.[4] In a compliment he paid to the actress Sean Young, Corman told her "Sean, you were great in the picture but you were miscast. You look too good to be the mother!".[4] This will be Corman's first 3D production.[3][8] Jena Sims was Miss Georgia Teen USA in 2007. She has previously acted on television, but this is her biggest role.[9]
