A Hottie and a Hero Taking on Mike Mendez's Mega Spider - Alexis Peters and Greg Grunberg Join Cast

By Uncle Creepy
September 6th, 2011

Filming is under way today in the sunny (and smoggy) Los Angeles area on Mike Mendez's new giant killer arachnid flick Mega Spider, and as a result some quick and good casting news has rolled on in!

Hatchet II's Alexis Peters and "Heroes" star Greg Grunberg have signed up for active spider killing duty. Look for more soon!

Mendez is at the directorial helm of Mega Spider for Epic Pictures.

Synopsis
Surviving extermination by nuclear eradication, a horrible alien mutation in arachnid form is now growing at an exponential rate and making its way toward downtown Los Angeles. Hot on its spindly heels is a crack military unit with absolute authority, led by an obsessively driven commander and his beautiful but lethal sidekick. Unfortunately for them, this mutant spider has an array of deadly defenses including the ability to virtually disappear through camouflage. But the creature’s real adversary quickly turns out to be a hot-shot local exterminator armed only with cocky attitude, some fast one-liners and his homemade gadgets. Joining forces with the military team, this blue-collar hero sets out to exterminate what has now become a monstrous 10-story tall MEGA SPIDER.
