Talking about how he got inspired to make the film, Gareth revealed that the idea for the film first emerged when he was on a date with his girlfriend in the Maldives back in 2004.
While Gareth was walking along the beach with his love, he spotted some fishermen struggling as they pulled out their net from the water. The director already imagined a giant tentacled monster trapped in the nets and visualize how the fishermen would react.
Right at the spot, he questioned his girlfriend,
"Watch these fishermen. Imagine there was a creature on their boat. Watch how they behave. It would be totally realistic."
And without surprise, his girlfriend nodded yes and said: "Yeah, it would."
Interestingly, Gareth's girlfriend has also been with Gareth while he was in route to making the famous spin-off of Star Wars.
