Blake Lively Talks Surviving ‘The Shallows’
On June 24th, Blake Lively is going to be stranded in paradise after getting attacked by a great white.
Lovely and Orphan and House of Wax‘s Jaume Collet-Serra talk about surviving The Shallows in this new featurette.
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, requiring all of Nancy’s ingenuity, resourcefulness, and fortitude.
Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks, the married writing-directing duo behind the pandemic horror movie Alone With You, are back with the new horror movie Blood Shine.
Blood Shine is coming to theaters, VOD, and Digital on August 21 from Dark Sky Films.
Set in a desolate expanse of upstate New York, Blood Shine centers around Clara, a religious zealot who worships light in lonely, sacred rituals. When problematic horror director Brighton West travels upstate to finish the screenplay for his next film, a chance encounter with Clara leads him into a hallucinatory web of faith, flesh, and the sublime.
Bennett also stars in the film, in addition to writing and directing with Brooks.
Brendan Sexton III (Session 9), David Call (Insidious: The Red Door), Larry Fessenden (You’re Next), and Toby Poser (Recluse, Hellbender) also star.
“We are thrilled to bring Blood Shine to North American audiences,” added Dark Sky executive vice president Greg Newman. “Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks have created a daring and visually arresting film that expands the boundaries of folk horror and really delivers.”
Producers include Aaron B. Koontz via Paper Street Pictures (Shelby Oaks, Scare Package) and Alexander Schepsman, Garrett Fennelly and Zeus Kontoyannis via Zeus Pictures.
Ashleigh Snead and Cameron Burns serve as co-producers for Paper Street. Michael McFadden, G. Riley Mills, and Matt Sullivan executive produce.
Watch the new trailer below that introduces an eerie Larry Fessenden as a faith figure with a sadistic streak.
