We reported way back in the summer of 2015 that Skydance Productions was developing a film based on the creepy Bermuda Triangle, the legendary and mysterious Caribbean area where planes and ships have inexplicably gone missing. And then we learned over a year ago that the great Sam Raimi was going to be directing the film.
This week, The Hashtag Show reports that Ryan Reynolds has been tapped to star in Raimi’s film, and the site also provides plot details that are wonderfully insane.
“When a massive submarine carrying nuclear weapons goes missing in the Bermuda Triangle, Commander Vogel enlists the help of Dr. Fisk (likely Reynolds), a theoretical physicist. While using his grandfather’s research, Fisk opens a wormhole to reveal a mysterious island that is inhabited by anything lost in the triangle including Sharks, Vikings, and Nazis, in the hopes of finding the nuclear weapons.”
Shooting is expected to begin later this year.
The film’s original script came courtesy of Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Freddy vs. Jason and 2009’s Friday the 13th), with a polish from John Gatins (Power Rangers).
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is the area that stretches between the Florida Straits, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Over the years, several ships and planes have disappeared while in the area under mysterious circumstances. Theories centered on paranormal or extraterrestrial causes have long swirled around these strange disappearances.
