Between The Shallows, 47 Meters Down and this year’s The Meg, you could say that shark attack horror is on a steady rise in popularity right now, and we’ve just learned of another that’ll be coming in the wake of The Meg. Via Deadline, Altitude Film Sales has boarded international sales rights to Aussie shark thriller Great White.
Altitude will launch sales this week in Cannes.
“Michael Boughen’s (Killer Elite) screenplay charts how a blissful tourist trip quickly turns into a nightmare when five passengers on a seaplane become stranded miles from shore. In a desperate bid for survival the group try to make it to land before they either run out of supplies or are taken by the man-eating sharks lurking just beneath the surface.”
Filming is set for later this year, with Martin Wilson directing.
The movie is produced by Reef and The Pack producer Michael Robertson and Neal Kingston (Nerve). Chris Veerhuis (Breath) is also producing while Robert Slaviero will serve as an executive producer.
