’47 Meters Down: Uncaged’ Gets More Shark Bait in Brec Bassinger
There’s another addition to the massive cast of the now-filming 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, which is lensing in the Dominican Republic under the eye of director Johannes Roberts.
Rising U.S. actress Brec Bassinger (pictured below left; Bella and the Bulldogs), recently cast as Stargirl in the Warner Bros and DC Universe streaming series of the same name, has joined John Corbett(“Sex in the City”), Nia Long (“Empire”), Sophie Nelisse (The Book Thief), Corinne Foxx, Sistine Stallone, Brianne Tju (“Scream” TV series), Davi Santos (Polaroid) and Khylin Rhambo (“Teen Wolf”) in the sequel to the massive hit 47 Meters Down.
Foxx and Stallone, the daughters of Jamie Foxx and Sylvester Stallone, respectively, will be making their film debuts.
“The film will tell the story of four teens diving in a ruined underwater city, who quickly find themselves in a watery hell as their adventure turns to horror when they learn they are not alone in the submerged caves. As they swim deeper into the claustrophobic labyrinth of caves they enter the territory of the deadliest shark species in the ocean.”
Byron Allen’s ESMP U.S. release in 3,500+ screens set for June 28, 2019.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
