Survival thrillers continue to be all the rage and Studiocanal will go swimming with sharks at the forthcoming EFM in Berlin.
Hailing out of the UK, Something in the Water follows five female friends who come together to celebrate a wedding in a beautiful, remote location. One day before the wedding, as a treat, they go on a boat trip which descends into the stuff of nightmares.
Deadline reports that the shark attack thriller is being directed by Gaby Dellal (3 Generations) from a script by Scottish novelist Cat Clarke, based on her original idea.
It will be produced with Noel Clarke (Bulletproof) and Jason Maza’s (Bulletproof) production company Unstoppable.
Casting discussions are underway for the five lead characters, four of whom are British and one of whom is American. Studiocanal is aiming to shoot towards the end of this year and will distribute in its territories.
