In the bloody wake of shark attack movies 47 Meters Down (2017) and 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019), the franchise will return with third installment 47 Meters Down: The Wreck.

Deadline reports that Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry, My Bloody Valentine 3D) will be directing the third 47 Meters Down movie, with FilmNation launching sales in Cannes.

Johannes Roberts and Ernest Riera co-wrote the upcoming third movie’s screenplay. Roberts had previously directed both 47 Meters Down and its first sequel, Uncaged.

Deadline details in their exclusive report this morning, “The story will follow a father who is determined to rebuild his relationship with his daughter as they bond during a scuba diving in beautiful tropical waters while exploring a famous shipwreck. But soon after their descent, their master diver has an accident leaving them alone and unprotected inside the labyrinth of the wreck. As tensions rise and oxygen dwindles, the pair must use their newfound bond to escape the wreck and the relentless barrage of bloodthirsty great white sharks.”

“47 Meters Down: The Wreck is the perfect continuation of our shark-filled franchise,” said producer Byron Allen, who is the founder/chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group. “This film will once again have moviegoers terrified and on the edge of their seats.”

“We can’t wait for audiences to be trapped underwater with us again,” added Roberts. “47 Meters Down: The Wreck is going to be the biggest, most-intense film of this franchise.”

The original 47 Meters Down, which trapped sisters in the water with hungry sharks, scared up $62 million at the box office, while 47 Meters Down: Uncaged took the franchise to an underwater cave system and managed to end its worldwide box office run with $47.5 million.
