The Beast of Bottomless Lake is a monster film about the Okanagan Lake monster Ogopogo, a creature I don’t think has had a movie about. (everyone keeps doing the Loch Ness Monster, despite a gold mine of local monsters to choose from) Provost Pictures is creating this picture. It looks like they will be intersplicing interviews with “experts” in between the action, which sounds pretty neat.

No pictures of the monster, sadly…

Synopsis:

Dr. Paul Moran, Cryptozoologist at the University of British Columbia, has very little left to lose. His program is losing its funding, and his tenure is about to be denied. In a last-ditch effort to save his career, Moran heads to Kelowna, a city on the shore of Lake Okanagan which has put a $2 million bounty for proof positive that the legendary Okanagan Lake serpent, the Ogopogo, exists. His mis-matched team includes: his research assistant, Sondra Blackburn; Professor of Conspiracy theory, Dr. Leslie Morgenstern; Neville Bernard Vincent St. John Honey III, a technician on loan from the Royal Commission on the Loch Ness Monster; and physicist with a secret, Stewart Murphy. Tagging along for the ride is film-student Ernie McKellar and his cameraman, documenting the teams’ not-so-glorious moments.

The trip is a disaster–denied access to a luxury resort, they end up in Paul’s loopy parent’s basement, lose an expensive prototype, high-tech device on the first day, share their research vehicle with a wedding party, and get arrested. With every turn, they get further from their goal, and closer to a breakdown.
The team is ripped apart.

Broken and defeated, Paul has one last, desperate chance.
Will he be able to defeat the Beast within?
