The threequel, officially titled 47 Meters Down: The Wreck, has been announced and is launching worldwide at Cannes, as reported byDeadline. The movie is directed by horror helmer My Bloody Valentine’s Patrick Lussier and welcomes back series creator Johannes Roberts and screenwriter Ernest Riera (who wrote the first two films) as co-writers.
47 Meters Down: The Wreck follows a father who takes his daughter on a scuba diving trip to a famous shipwreck in the hopes of rebuilding their relationship. But in true 47 Meters fashion, as soon as they hit the water their scuba instructor has an accident which leaves them alone and unprotected inside the maze of the wreck, with little oxygen in their tanks and a barrage of bloodthirsty great white sharks ready to attack. Production is expected to begin later this year with casting discussion already underway.
Both movies kept audiences on the edge of their seats with adrenaline-rushing chase scenes and sharp-toothed beasts, but it sounds as though Wreck will be even better as creator Roberts told Deadline, “47 Meters Down: The Wreck is going to be the biggest, most intense film of this franchise.”
