Meet your next obsession as Blake Lively moves from the timeless elegant camp of The Age of Adaline to the blood-stained saltwater of the shark film. Lively stars in The Shallows from director Jaume Collet-Serra, so get ready for your sweet sweet shark fix as the glamorous starlet tackles the beast of the Great White.
“In the taut thriller The Shallows, Nancy (Blake Lively) is surfing alone on a secluded beach when she is attacked by a great white shark and stranded just a short distance from shore. Though she is only 200 yards from her survival, getting there proves the ultimate contest of wills. It’s Jaws for a new generation. #TheShallows”
Jaws for the new generation seems high praise indeed – but we feel this might be more appropriately dubbed Jaws: The Revenge or Deep Blue Sea for the next generation. Don’t aim too high Sony. Either way with Eli Roth leaving Meg we have been feeling a little disappointed by niche shark flick news in recent weeks and this has perked us right up. Now kill that sharky bastard Blake!
The Shallows hits UK cinemas on the 1st of July which is now coincidentally the best day of your life.
