Debbie
Gibson and Tiffany to Star in SyFy Movie "Mega Python vs
Gatoroid" 6/24/10
TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME - POP SINGING SENSATIONS DEBBIE GIBSON AND
TIFFANY TO STAR IN SYFY SATURDAY ORIGINAL MOVIE MEGA PYTHON VS GATOROID
New York, NY - June 24, 2010 - 1980s pop singing sensations Debbie
Gibson and Tiffany will bury their pop princess rivalry to co-star in the
new ripped-from-the-headlines Syfy Saturday Original Movie, Mega Python Vs
Gatoroid, which will go into production later this month for a scheduled
2011 release.
In Mega Python Vs Gatoroid, there's a crisis in the Florida Everglades
as giant pythons are threatening the alligator population. Gibson portrays
a fanatical animal rights advocate who frees illegally imported exotic
snakes from pet stores, sending them into the Everglades where the pythons
become mega-sized.
Tiffany plays an over-zealous park ranger worried about the growing
ecological damage. To save her beloved alligators, she employs dangerous
methods, setting off a war between the species - and putting her on a
collision course with Gibson.
Said Debbie Gibson: "I know that pop culture fanatics have been
dying for Tiffany and me to collaborate for the past 24 years! What better
way to do it than by battling each other in a campy romp through the
Everglades?"
Said Tiffany: "Only in my dreams have I been able to have a
catfight with Debbie Gibson...until now! This is soo MEGA Cool!"
In their most recent Syfy roles, Tiffany starred in Mega Piranha, while
Gibson starred in Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus.
Mega Python Vs Gatoroid is a production of The Asylum. Mary Lambert
(Pet Sematary) is director - the first time a woman has directed a Syfy
Saturday Original Movie. Writer is Naomi Selfman (Evil Eyes).
Tiffany at age 15 was the youngest female artist to have a #1 debut
album. Her global smash hits include, I Think We're Alone Now, Could've
Been, I Saw Him Standing There, and All this Time... selling more than 15
million records worldwide. To this day, her groundbreaking "mall
tour" sets the precedent to launch young musical careers. Venturing
into acting, Tiffany starred as the voice of "Judy Jetson" in
Jetsons: The Movie and has appeared in many award winning indie festival
films. In 2002 Tiffany graced the cover of Playboy; her pictorial became
one of the best selling issues of all time. Her album The Color of Silence
was named "one of the finest pop albums of 2000" by Billboard.
2007 marked her return to the Billboard charts with three Dance Hits.
Tiffany makes her home in Nashville with her husband and son, and is
currently writing and recording her country music debut.
Debbie Gibson began her career at 16 with the hit Only in My Dreams and
would go on to sell 16 million albums. She holds the world's record to
this day for being the youngest writer/producer/performer of a #1 hit. She
went onto star in critically acclaimed Broadway shows such as Les
Miserables, Beauty and the Beast, and Cabaret, among others. She
originated Sandy in the West End revival of Grease, breaking box office
records. She is currently recording a new album and getting ready for her
stint guest starring in Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy at MGM/Foxwoods.
Gibson also runs her "Electric Youth" summer camp and music
programs throughout the year to mentor young aspiring songwriters and
performers.
