Four Vacationers Prep for ‘Shark Night 3-D’
Just a few weeks after the massive Piranha attack, director David R. Ellis has cast his first four vacationers for his Shark Night 3-D. Heat Vision reports that Ellis, who directed Snakes on a Plane, the horrid Asylum and two installments of the Final Destination movies, has cast Sinqua Walls (“Savage County”), Chris Carmack (The Butterfly Effect: Revelation), Alyssa Diaz (Red Dawn) and Joel David Moore (Hatchet, Avatar) in the horror penned by Jesse Studenberg and Will Hayes. The story revolves around seven men and women who spend a weekend at a lake house in Louisiana’s Gulf area. When their vacation quickly becomes a nightmare of hellish shark attacks, unheard of in freshwater lakes, they soon discover that the sharks are part of a sick, greedy plan on the part of several locals. The movie is barreling down on an early September start in Louisiana.

Bram Stoker Award-winning novel The Fisherman from John Langan is getting a film adaptation, and David Lowery (The Green Knight, Mother Mary) will direct for Focus Features.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news this afternoon.
THR details, “Langan’s novel told the story of Abe and Dan, two widowers who bond together with fishing getaways in upstate New York as way to cope with their grief. One day, however, Dan suggests that pair try a new spot, an isolated and mysterious spot named Dutchman’s Creek, which is whispered to allow a person to see their lost loved ones.
“Even a spooky tale from a man in a diner detailing the terrible history of the creek can’t stop these two men, who eventually find themselves face to face with Der Fisher, aka The Fisherman. They probably should have just stayed home that weekend.”
David Lowery will co-write the film adaptation with Alex Ross Perry. Producers include Michael Bay and Brad Fuller for Platinum Dunes, and Gary Dauberman for Coin Operated.
John Langan’s novel The Fisherman was published back in 2016.
A cover quote from author Laird Barron raves, “The Fisherman is an epic, yet intimate, horror novel. Langan channels M.R. James, Robert E. Howard, and Norman Maclean.”
“What you get is A River Runs Through It… Straight to hell,” the quote continues.
