Dive Into A Movie Marathon With These 10 Great Shark Films

When summer arrives and the temperature begins to rise one of the first things that comes to mind is the beach, the cool water of the ocean and fun in the sun. But movies like The Shallows and Jaws capture the fear that comes with not knowing what lurks below the surface and just how fierce and relentless sharks can be. What better way to celebrate the summer than to dive into a marathon of shark movies. There are hundreds of shark movies out there, however, most are cheesy and ridiculous. This list does not include those. Here are a few of our favorite serious movies starring sharks. Jaws (1975) When a giant great white begins to attack people in the waters of a small island community, the police chief, a marine biologist and a grizzled fisherman set out to hunt it down. Jaws is a true classic that will never be out done (that’s my opinion). Recently a deleted

Jason Statham Will Go Head To Head With A Giant Shark In Meg

Action star Jason Statham has joined the cast of the giant shark film Meg. The film, based on Steve Alten’s New York Times best-selling novel, will be directed by Jon Turteltaub and written by James Vanderbilt (Independence Day: Resurgence). Which role Statham will play has not been announced, but it is probable that he will play the lead, Jonas Taylor. In the novel, Taylor finds himself “face-to-face with the largest, most ferocious predator in the history of the animal kingdom while diving during a mission. The sole survivor of the mission, Taylor is haunted by what he’s sure he saw but can’t prove exist -Carcharodon Megalodin.” Written off as a crackpot, suffering from P.T.S.D.,Taylor refuses to give up and sets out to prove that he isn’t crazy and that the shark, big enough to swallow a truck, is very real. Statham, known for his skills as a fighter, has starred in many films including the Crank franchise, The Expendibles films,

Shark Week is the perfect time for studios to announce their shark related movies and lately the SyFy channel has had a great run with shark features such as the ‘Sharknado’ franchise. SyFy movies are know for their creativity and stretch of possibilities and sometime laughable view on reality .

Jaume Collet-Serra In Talks To Direct ‘In the Deep’

With Shark Week approaching and the 40th anniversary of ‘Jaws’, the news of shark related horror-thrillers are being announced. We have already reported that ‘Meg’ and ‘Sharknado 3’ are in the works. Now, we are here to tell you about another shark attack film that is being made, titled ‘In the Deep’. ‘In the Deep’ was written by Anthory Jaswinski and is being compared to a cross between ‘127 hours’ and ‘Jaws’. Jaume Collet-Serra is in talks to replace Louis Letterier as director. Serra, who directed the 2005 remake of ‘House of Wax’ and the creepy thriller ‘Orphan’ (2009), seems like a great director to take the helm ‘In the Deep’. In the film, a young woman, while out surfing, gets stranded twenty yards from the isolated beach. A huge Great White stands between her and the safety of the shore. The release date and the cast for ‘In the Deep’ has not been announced at this time.

Eli Roth To Direct The Shark Movie ‘Meg’

Last week I reported that the long awaited movie adaption of ‘Meg’ had finally gone into preproduction. Today we are able to inform you that a director has been announced, and it’s none other than the brilliant Eli Roth. Roth is the force behind movies such as ‘The Green Inferno’, ‘The Stranger’, ‘Hostel’ and ‘Cabin Fever’. ‘Meg’ is the movie adaption by Dean Georgaris of the novel series by the same name, written by Steve Alten. The novel series follows a deep sea diver named Jonas Taylor. Taylor believes that a prehistoric Megalodon is alive and lurking in the Mariana Trench. The giant shark has escaped the temperature barrier that has kept it prisoner for so long. Now ‘Meg’ is loose in the waters of the California coast. The ‘Meg’ movies has been slated by Warner Bros. to begin filming in 2016. I love anything that involves sharks and I am a huge fan of Eli Roth, so when I
