At first, I kinda hoped this was a joke.

- The polar bear exhibit at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium was the setting for a scene between Tori Spelling and Jason Cottle, the picture’s lead.
Her character is a “seductress,” said Grant Cogswell, the Seattle screenwriter who wrote the “Cthulhu” script. Cottle plays a gay college professor from Seattle who returns to his home on the Oregon coast when his mother dies and gets mixed up with a mysterious cult and a sea monster whose name is the title of the movie. The script is based on an H.P. Lovecraft short story, “The Shadow Over Innsmouth,” Cogswell said.
Budgeted at $450,000 and directed and co-written by Portland-based filmmaker Dan Gildark, the picture will be shot primarily in Astoria, Ore. and Seattle, Cogswell said. Monday was the only day the production was scheduled to be in Tacoma. Filming began Thursday and is expected to wrap up by the end of this month.
Cogswell said he hopes the picture will be released theatrically sometime next year.
