“Underbelly” star Damian Walshe-Howling will lead the cast of “The Reef”, the film’s director, Andrew Traucki, tells Moviehole.

The follow-up to Traucki’s acclaimed “Black Water”, “The Reef” centers on a great white shark that hunts the crew of a capsized sailboat along the Great Barrier Reef.

Traucki’s previous film fixed on a trio of Australians being terrorized by a crocodile.

Walshe-Howling will play the lead character of Luke in “Reef”, with Zoe Naylor (TVs “McLeod’s Daughters”), Gyton Grantley (“Balibo”), Adrienne Pickering (“Knowing”), and Kieran Darcy Smith (“The Square”) also in the cast.
