Renny Harlin is one busy filmmaker at the moment, with his The Strangers: Chapter 1 headed our way here in 2024 and a brand new shark attack horror movie also coming soon.
Twenty five years after the release of Deep Blue Sea, director Renny Harlin is headed back into shark-infested waters with the upcoming Deep Water, we learned last year.
Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley will star in the upcoming shark movie, and Screen Daily exclusively shares a first look image this morning. Check it out up above.
Deep Water is coming soon from Arclight Films. Stay tuned for more.
Molly Wright (Lionsgate’s The Best Christmas Pageant Ever), Angus Sampson (FX’s Fargo), Kelly Gale (Lionsgate’s Plane), Li Wenhan from Chinese-Korean K-Pop group UNIQ, and Chinese actress Nashi (Creation Of The Gods I: Kingdom Of Storms) also star.
Deep Water tells the tale of an eclectic group of international passengers whose plane, en route from Los Angeles to Shanghai, is forced to make an emergency landing in shark-infested waters. The terrified group is forced to work together and overcome their differences if they hope to escape their sinking plane and the frenzy of sharks drawn to the wreckage.
“Deep Water offered me an epic canvas to work on, which I’ve dreamed of since seeing the original The Poseidon Adventure in a movie theatre as a kid in Finland,” said Harlin.
“My superb cast stood by my side valiantly through a rigorous shoot of barrel rolling planes, tidal waves of water and ferocious sharks. This film is my tribute to all the action, imagination, emotion and beauty that made movie making the first love of my life. I can’t wait to show the audiences around the world what an emotional rollercoaster we have created.”
Renny Harlin’s Deep Water will be the first project from a new production company launched by Gene Simmons (KISS) and Gary Hamilton, titled Simmons/Hamilton Prods.
Renny Harlin’s directorial credits also include A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and Exorcist: The Beginning.
