Tommy Wirkola’s shark film has a flashy new title and a release date. More on Beneath The Storm below.
We first heard of Tommy Wirkola’s shark film last May when we reported that Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor was in talks to join the then-untitled film.
That film now has a title: Beneath The Storm. Deadline also reports that the film is heading to US cinemas on 1st August next year, courtesy of Sony Pictures. There’s no word on a UK release but we’re sure it’ll show up on a release schedule eventually.
In May, the plot details were kept under wraps and unfortunately that hasn’t changed. All we know is that the film is directed by Wirkola, stars Dynevor and it’ll have sharks. It’s not much to go on, but fans of films like Deep Blue Sea and The Shallows have plenty to get excited about here.
Wirkola is best known as the director behind films such as Dead Snow, Violent Night and Netflix’s What Happened To Monday. He’s also well known for staging effective and often bloody action set pieces, so we’re eager to see what the Norwegian director can do with sharks. The film will also be produced by Adam McKay, the mastermind behind The Big Short, Vice and Don’t Look Up.
Beneath The Storm continues the current trend of shark films. This year alone has seen Something In The Water and Under Paris scare audiences with the chompy underwater creatures and next year sees Renny Harlin return to the genre with “the ultimate shark film” and Sting director Kiah Roach-Turner is delivering his own shark film too. What a time to be alive.
More on Beneath The Storm as we hear it.
