‘The Shallows’ – Blake Lively Shark Attack Movie Gets a Chinese Remake [Trailer]
Almost ten years after the release of Jaume Collet-Serra’s The Shallows starring Blake Lively, Bloody Disgusting has learned that a Chinese remake of The Shallows is swimming our way.
Watch the trailer for director Banchang Xia’s The Shallows down below.
The remake of the 2016 American horror movie tells “the story of a girl who loves extreme sports. When she comes to the beach alone to surf, she’s attacked by a giant shark.”
Xiaoyun Chen, Sinan Li, and Sen Wang star in Chinese remake The Shallows.
What makes the film different from its American counterpart? The Arty Dans reveals, “Like the Chinese remake of Sharktopus that used the creature and military weapon concept but created an original story, this movie does the same – keeping the elements of the shark and the survival component but adding in a sci-fi twist about Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.”
“Clocking in at 73 minutes, there is entertainment a-plenty in this title, with a rather bloodthirsty opening 20 or so minutes as our doctor is repeatedly killed by the shark,” the website’s review continues. “The movie gets a little philosophical towards the middle, well about as philosophical as a Chinese web movie could get, which makes for a rather drab middle third, but picks up the pace when the shark is re-introduced into the movie.”
Watch the trailer for The Shallows below and expect news on a U.S. release soon.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
