After a short delay, Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures will now be releasing Johannes Roberts’ excellent shark survival thriller 47 Meters Down (here’s my positive review of the film) in theaters on June 16, 2017, a month before this year’s “Shark Week”.
We now have the film’s official trailer that has serious bite, honing in on the claustrophobic terror Mandy Moore and Claire Holt have to go through. I will say, however, that it’s a bit spoiler-y as it doesn’t hold back any shark footage, even giving away some of the finale. Trust me, just go see it.
On the rebound after a devastating break-up, Lisa (Mandy Moore) is ready for adventure while on vacation in Mexico. Even still, she needs a little extra persuasion when her daring sister Kate (Claire Holt) suggests they go shark diving with some locals. Once underwater in a protective cage, Lisa and Kate catch a once in a lifetime, face-to-face look at majestic Great Whites. But when their worst fears are realized and the cage breaks away from their boat, they find themselves plummeting to the bottom of the seabed, too deep to radio for help without making themselves vulnerable to the savage sharks, their oxygen supplies rapidly dwindling. 47 METERS DOWN is a terrifying tale of survival set in the domain of the ocean’s fiercest creatures.
The film was directed by Johannes Roberts, who is in pre-production on The Strangers 2.
