The chances of dying from a shark attack just increased for three unlucky tourists.
Oddly enough, the Open Water franchise is thus far made up of films that weren’t originally intended to be sequels. Released in 2006, Open Water 2: Adrift was a standalone film that was released with franchise ties after the success of Chris Kentis’ low-budget film.
Similarly, this year’s Open Water 3 Cage Dive began its life as, well Cage Dive.
Lionsgate scooped up the film and made it part of the Open Water franchise, and today they’ve unleashed the trailer. You can check it out below, via Arrow in the Head.
Look for this one August 11th in theaters and on demand.
Cage Dive follows three American tourists making an audition tape of a shark cage dive for a reality TV show. A catastrophic turn of events leaves them stranded in the waters of South Australia surrounded by hungry great white sharks.
