What happens

Primeval is a 2007 American action-adventure horror film directed by Michael Katleman and starring Dominic Purcell, Orlando Jones, and Brooke Langton. Inspired partially by the true story of Gustave, a 20 ft (6.1 m), 2,000 pounds (910 kg; 0.91 t) giant, man-eating Nile Crocodile in Burundi, the film centers on a team of American journalists who travel to Burundi to film and capture him. The film was released on January 12, 2007, receiving negative reviews from critics but grossed $15 million worldwide. Despite its title, it has no relation to the 2007 ITV television series of the same name. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
