Rather than ripping off Jaws, the movie looks to use the terror of sharks in a new way - by putting its protagonists far under the surface of the ocean. Formerly 47 Meters Down, the flick is scheduled to come out next week on August 2nd via the Weinsteins and Anchor Bay. The movie is something of a new take on the "shark in the water" genre. In the Deep has had a weird journey on its way to release. The movie surely borrows a lot from past films, especially those made by Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, but there isn’t much of a real story behind the film. With such unbelievable twists and turns, the film could only have been a work of fiction. ![]() Sharks continue to be a popular antagonist for horror movies, with the latest example being 47 Meters Down. Is 47 Meters Down based on true story The short answer is no. The movie, about a great white shark terrorizing a beachfront town one summer, installed a healthy fear of the marine predators that persists to this day. But most agree the term first came into wide use in 1975 thanks to the massive summer hit Jaws. Two summers ago, director/co-writer Johannes Roberts small budget shark survival thriller 47 Meters Down quietly released into theaters and became one of the highest-grossing indie films of 2017. The word "blockbuster" gets thrown around a lot in relation to summer movies, whether those films have earned that distinction or not.
