John Corbett, of “Sex and the City” and “Northern Exposure” fame, will star in the sequel to box office breakout “47 Meters Down”.
Also aboard the film, titled “47 Meters Down – Uncaged”, Sophie Nélisse, Nia Long, Corinne Foxx, Sistine Stallone, Brianne Tju, Davi Santos and Khylin Rhambo.
Shooting has kicked off in the Dominican Republic on the film, which is due to open June 28, 2019. Johannes Roberts returns to direct the sequel from a script he co-wrote with his ”47 Meters Down” co-writer, Ernest Riera.
Foxx and Stallone, the daughters of Jamie Foxx and Sylvester Stallone, respectively, will be making their film debuts in the The Fyzz-produced thriller.
The film tells the story of four teens diving in a ruined underwater city, who quickly find themselves in a watery hell as their adventure turns to horror when they learn they are not alone in the submerged caves. As they swim deeper into the claustrophobic labyrinth of caves they enter the territory of the deadliest shark species in the ocean.
“The sequel 47 Meters Down – Uncaged is well-positioned to be a big summer event movie,” said Byron Allen, CEO of Entertainment Studios. “The shark-filled psychological horror/thriller will once again have moviegoers overwhelmed and on the edge of their seats being terrorized by the world’s greatest predators!”
The original “47 Meters Down” was a surprise box office hit, grossing over $44.3 million in North America on a $5.5 million budget, making it the highest-grossing independent movie of 2017. ESMP bought the title from Dimension Films, which had initially planned to release the movie on DVD only. The original movie followed two sisters (Mandy Moore and Claire Holt) who get trapped underwater during a diving excursion, where they become hunted by Great White sharks.
