Columbia Pictures surprised us all with the brilliantly minimalistic trailer for The Shallows, which has been described as a cross between 127 Hours and Jaws.
Blake Lively’s screams are muffled out by the water as the camera takes the POV of a shark swimming in for the kill. Then, it’s revealed that Lively is stranded on a rock, and surrounded by a shark. The tension is so thick you could, well, you know.
A new image, courtesy of EW, Lively gets a flare gun ready – is she going to use it to get help or shoot the Great White?!
In the taut thriller The Shallows, penned by Tony Jaswinski, Nancy (Blake Lively) is surfing alone on a secluded beach when she is attacked by a great white shark and stranded just a short distance from shore. Though she is only 200 yards from her survival, getting there proves the ultimate contest of wills.
It was directed by Orphan and House of Wax‘s Jaume Collet-Serra.
The Shallows swims into theaters June 29th.
