Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures’ shark survival thriller 47 Meters Down (here’s my positive review of the film) is getting a full theatrical release on June 16, 2017, a month before this year’s “Shark Week”. Johannes Roberts directs the excellent thriller that stars Mandy Moore and Claire Holt who are trapped in a cage at the bottom of the ocean.
Even though we’re two weeks out, we were provided with five clips from the film, some of which are quite thrilling. There’s footage of the girls getting on the boat, entering the rusty cage, and of the duo dropping to the bottom of the sea. Even though some of them are introductory, I think they take away from the full experience of the film and think they should probably be avoided. Those who don’t mind a good spoiler or two, watch some of the shark attack sequences below…
“On the rebound after a devastating break-up, Lisa (Many 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.
