Blake Lively starring in shark thriller titled "In The Deep"
Quote:
Losing director Louis Leterrier and replacing him at the helm with HOUSE OF WAX/ORPHAN director Jaume Collet-Serra in June apparently hasn't set back Sony's shark thriller IN THE DEEP too much, if at all. Just a month and a half after securing a new director, the project is now seeking its leading lady.
Blake Lively is in talks to take the role of a young woman who is dealing with the recent death of her mother who, while surfing on an isolated beach, gets stranded 20 yards off shore on a buoy. What lies between her and the shore is a huge great white shark.
Scripted by Tony Jaswinski and described as 127 HOURS meets JAWS and GRAVITY, the project appeals to Lively because it is apparently just as much of a one woman show as the synopsis makes it sound. Discussions with the actress are said to be at a "sensitive point" however, because IN THE DEEP's schedule conflicts with Woody Allen's next movie, which Lively is already signed on for.
