On Earth day, April 21, premieres the third instalment of NateGeo’s Emmy-winning “Secrets Of…” franchise, “Secrets Of The Octopus”, which uncovers the secret lives of one of the most alien-like animals on the planet.
Paul Rudd, who has previously starred in Marvel’s “Ant-Man” and most recently in the Hulu/Star Original series, “Only Murders In The Building”, will be narrating the documentary. From executive producer and National Geographic Explorer-at-Large James Cameron, the three-part docu-series follows the success of the Emmy-winning “Secrets Of The Whales”, narrated by Sigourney Weaver, and most recently Emmy-nominated and Critics Choice Documentary Award-winning “Secrets Of The Elephants, narrated by Natalie Portman. We had the pleasure to produce and film a complete sequence for the series in the remote island of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil. Octopuses are like aliens on Earth: three hearts, blue blood, and the ability to squeeze through a space the size of their eyeball. But there is so much more to these weird and wonderful animals. Highly intelligent, octopuses can use tools, transform their bodies to mimic other animals and even communicate with different species, including us. The secrets of the octopus are more extraordinary than ever imagined.
