Back in 2014 Dimension Films acquired 47 Meters Down, which stars Mandy Moore and Claire Holt as a pair of cage-diving sisters whose boat breaks away from them, leaving them in an observation cage trapped at the bottom of the ocean, surrounded by hungry Great Whites.

Dimension Films then announced a home video release (Aug. 2, 2016), while also renaming it to In the Deep, bizarrely the original title to this summer’s other shark survival film, The Shallows.

Just a week before its release, Freestyle Media acquired the film with plans to release in 2,500 theaters sometime in 2017.

Physical copies did leak into the market place (you can find them on Amazon by second hand sellers) as copies were sent to retailers and press (here’s my positive review of the film).

While we wait for an official U.S. release, the film has begun its international tour, which resulted in the first trailer making its way online. It’s an excellent trailer that has serious bite, honing in on the claustrophobic terror Moore and Holt have to go through.

47 Meters Down is directed by Johannes Roberts (The Other Side of The Door), and stars Mandy Moore (“This Is Us,” A Walk To Remember), Claire Holt (“The Vampire Diaries,” “The Originals”), Yani Gellman (“Pretty Little Liars,” “The Young And The Restless”), and Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket, The Dark Knight Rises).

“ ‘In The Deep/47 Meters Down’ dives into a world of two sisters (Mandy Moore and Claire Holt) who become trapped at the bottom of the ocean when a diving expedition to observe sharks goes horribly wrong. When the cable attaching the observation cage to the boat breaks and the cage sinks to the bottom of the ocean, the sisters must figure out a way to get back to safety battling injuries, lack of oxygen, and, worst of all, blood thirsty, great white sharks.”
