This ‘The Shallows’ Poster is Photoshopped to Hell
Is Blake Lively the film’s actual monster?
You’ve got to see this new one-sheet for The Shallows, which is one of the worst botched Photoshop jobs I’ve seen in years.
The poster is all about Lively, who plays a surfer attacked by a great white shark and stranded just a short distance from shore. It shows her, standing strong, as a shark approaches from the background. Only, for whatever reason, she looks like a zombie.

No, seriously. Look what they did to her eyes. It only gets worse from there as her ribcage looks like the designer went AWOL with the smudge tool, and her arm is weirdly decaying. How in God’s name did this get approved?!
It’s really a shame considering how striking of an image was used. Whatever happened, The Shallows still looks cool as all hell. It swims into theaters on June 24th.
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
