‘The Shallows’: Blake Lively Stranded and Surrounded By a Shark! (Trailer)
Survival horror is hotter than ever, but you wouldn’t know it since most are bizarre releases that blend things like sharks and exorcisms.
Even though the Syfy-esque Sharknado‘s dominate the business, there’s still plenty of survival thrillers in the works, such as this new one from Sony’s Columbia Pictures.
Sony is getting behind the shark craze with The Shallows, which has been described as a cross between 127 Hours and Jaws.
In the taut thriller The Shallows, penned by Tony Jaswinski, Nancy (Blake Lively) is surfing alone on a secluded beach when she is attacked by a great white shark and stranded just a short distance from shore. Though she is only 200 yards from her survival, getting there proves the ultimate contest of wills.
While the concept itself is exciting, knowing that it was directed by Orphan and House of Wax‘s Jaume Collet-Serra just adds icing to the cake.
The first trailer, above, is the perfect tease that sets the tone, tension and dilemma Lively’s character faces. It’s sort of like a home invasion movie, only the victim is trapped on a rock instead of in a house. Collet-Serra is going to kill it, I’m sure of it!
And the poster, well, it’s phenomenal. If the film ends up being great, the poster will surely be hanging on a lot of people’s walls.
The Shallows swims into theaters June 29th.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
