Columbia Pictures has just unveiled the new trailer for “The Shallows,” the edge-of-your-seat thriller starring Blake Lively (TV’s “Gossip Girl”). Watch it now:
What was once in the deep, is now in “The Shallows.” In this taut thriller, Nancy (Lively) is surfing alone on a secluded beach when she is attacked by a great white shark and stranded just a short distance from shore. Though she is only 200 yards from her survival, getting there proves the ultimate contest of wills. It’s Jaws for a new generation.
The film is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (“Unknown,” “Non-Stop”) from a screenplay by Anthony Jaswinski (“Vanishing on 7th Street”), and produced by Lynn Harris (“Blade: Trinity”) and Matti Leshem. Executive Producers are Doug Merrifield (“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”) and Jaume Collet-Serra.
Opening across the Philippines in July 2016, “The Shallows” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. #FearTheShallows
This is nothing more than another stupid, terrible movie. Moronic concept, done to death. From the trailer are we supposed to presume this is a strong female character? If so, they fucked that up completely. Her “Uh uh” line is one of the dumbest I have heard. This film isn’t even good enough to chop up into chum to feed to the sharks. Hollywood is done for. Original concepts are a thing of the past, we need to prepare for thirty or forty years of nothing but remakes of past films or trope concepts.
To think there are thousands of writers out there trying to “break in” to Hollywood and are turned away in favor of this kind of crap is truly saddening.
