'47 METERS DOWN' Director Developing New Shark Horror Flick 'THE RED TRIANGLE'
Sharks have always been a major player in Horror films ever since Steven Spielberg’s JAWS. From Deep Blue Sea, to The Shallows, to 47 Meters Down, sharks have terrified audiences for years. It should come as no surprise that another Shark, ‘The Red Triangle’ is washing ashore from 47 Meters down director Johannes Roberts.
The twist for The Red Triangle that got our attention was that this shark movie is going to be a feeding frenzy! A cruise ship runs afoul of some mighty hungry sharks and all hell breaks loose.
From what we gathered, the film "is set in Northern California -- famous for its gorgeous beaches, but also known for a particular stretch of ocean that has a bloody reputation -- The Red Triangle. Stretching south from Bodega Bay toward San Francisco and jutting out beyond the Farallon Islands and down to Big Sur south of Monterey, the Triangle encompasses around 200 miles of coastline, and is the site of almost half of all recorded great white shark attacks in the United States. When a cruise ship -- a massive, floating, fully stocked resort with thousands of passengers -- begins to sink in The Red Triangle, the feeding frenzy begins."
"The Red Triangle is well-positioned to be a big summer event movie," Allen Media Group's Founder, Chairman and CEO, Byron Allen shared in a statement. "This shark-filled psychological horror/thriller will once again have moviegoers overwhelmed and on the edge of their seats watching great white sharks methodically terrorize a sinking family cruise ship."
Roberts added, "The Red Triangle is going to take shark horror to a whole new level. I cannot wait to work with Byron again to terrify audiences like they've never been terrified before."
No word on a release date at the time of this writing but we will keep you posted.
