Not that I needed another reason to stay out of the ocean or anything (I actually like having limbs), but here’s the all new, shit-your-pants trailer for The Shallows from Orphan director Jaume Collet-Serra. I’m not at all surprised that this movie looks as good as it does, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that the set-up, while simple, is genuinely terrifying. You guys, Blake Lively is trapped on a tiny rock bleeding to death while the meanest looking great white shark in the entire ocean is swimming circles around her, just waiting to turn her into man-sushi. Fuck that.
The Shallows hits theaters on June 29th.
In the taut thriller The Shallows, when Nancy is surfing on a secluded beach, she finds herself on the feeding ground of a great white shark. Though she is stranded only 200 yards from shore, survival proves to be the ultimate test of wills, requiring all of Nancy’s ingenuity, resourcefulness, and fortitude.
It stars Blake Lively, Óscar Jaenada, Brett Cullen, Sedona Legge, and a giant fucking shark.

Aw man, I gotta see this one! It looks to have the potential to be a classic. I really hope they executed this one right.
Yeah, I agree. It’s been too long since we’ve had a great shark movie. The idea is such a good one. Kinda like 127 hours meets Jaws.
Shark movies are my greatest weakness! I can not wait!
Same here! This movie is probably going to ruin me.
Looking Good,looking good 🙂
Looking good,looking good
I have to see it too, even though I’m feeling a bit ambivalent about that trailer. Is this film about looking at Blake Lively’s (admittedly) beautiful body…or a cautionary tale about women surfing…or just an incredible shark film. I guess I’ll go with #3, and hope that numbers 1 and 2 do not annoy me too much.
It’s hard to say with the trailer, but I’m totally with you there. I think that the trailer is more or less trying to sell us both.
Previous commenter Dark Iris raises some interesting points about the film, and I’ll go with her #3 too. The trailer looks amazing, and intense.
LOVE the movie poster.
I’m with you there, great poster!
Definitely. Will see this one. Was wondering when they would make a good shark film.
“You guys, Blake Lively is trapped on a tiny rock bleeding to death while the meanest looking great white shark in the entire ocean is swimming circles around her, just waiting to turn her into man-sushi. Fuck that.” – Ryan, that made me laugh out loud.
Seems you are all for this. Will keep my eyes peeled. Me? I love the ocean, but I don’t do the wave swimming or when I can’t see through all the water for forever and three days. Sharks don’t chill in our bars. We don’t belong in theirs.
Agree completely! I love a good shark movie, they’re just few and far between, so I’m hoping for the best in this one!
OOH YES PLEASE! Sounds awesome! Great review Ryan 🙂
