Taking several steps beyond the makos in the first Sea, which are simply bigger and smarter than average, Perez’s sharks have been surgically altered to incorporate machine guns, torpedoes and other weapons. To a certain degree, it was similar to what they did in Predator there were definitely echoes of that sort of motley group.” sharks, so I developed this platoon kind of based on my favorite Sgt.

Alexandra Cruz and Pickett’s multiculti team of bad-ass soldiers. Nate Pickett, NSA geneticist/marine biologist Dr. The whole ship is basically a gigantic floating laboratory, with a maze of tunnels that the sharks can travel through that open up into tanks.” Into this seabound shark Habitrail go Sgt. The script is about this scientific research ship that is seized by Somali pirates, and a team of Navy SEALs have to go in and take them out. A pitch that took the idea of "shark experimentation", the only element Perez was required to carry over from the first DEEP BLUE SEA, even further. GIANT OCTOPUS (which he made under the pseudonym Ace Hannah) – confirmed that he was actually hired to write and direct DEEP BLUE SEA 2, and shared the pitch that got him the job. Speaking with Michael Gingold of ., director Jack Perez – who took the helm of the DTV sequel WILD THINGS 2 for TriStar and had a cult hit with MEGA SHARK VS. In 2008, we heard that Warner Premiere, the branch of WB responsible for a batch of DTV sequels released around that time, were giving some consideration to making a DEEP BLUE SEA sequel, but we didn't hear much about the project beyond that. I have no idea if there was any validity to that rumor, but it was popular on the internet back in 2000. This time, instead of a flooded lab, it would be set in a skyscraper hotel that has toppled over into the sea during an earthquake. released DEEP BLUE SEA, rumors began floating around that the studio intended to make a sequel, possibly titled DEEP RED SEA, which would have the surviving "super sharks" hunting down fresh meat in another flooded location. You can swim but you can't hide when a tropical storm floods Aquatica, plunging the crew into a harrowing battle of wits against sleek killing – and thinking! – machines. Which could mean trouble for the researchers. Researchers on the undersea laboratory Aquatica have genetically altered the brains of captive sharks to develop a potential cure for Alzheimer's disease. Jackson, Thomas Jane, Saffron Burrows, Stellan Skarsgard, and LL Cool J against sharks that were scientifically manipulated into being "bigger, smarter, faster, meaner." If Criterion could release Armageddon then surely they could take a look at this one.Shark thrillers are hit and miss – they're sure not all JAWS (not even the JAWS sequels are JAWS) – but back in 1999 director Renny Harlin delivered one hell of an entertaining entry in the sub-genre with DEEP BLUE SEA, a film that pit the likes of Samuel L. I was on a band trip to Oahu in high school, and while at the Aloha Flea Market, everyone was buying handfuls of puka shell necklaces and nice little Polynesian and Hawaiian knickknacks but oh no, not me, I found a VHS of Deep Blue Sea and that's what I brought home. Saffron Burrows, whatever happened to her? And those human characters! Thomas Jane, Stellan Skargard, Michael Rapaport, Samuel L Jackson, LL COOL J WHO SOMEHOW MAKES IT TO THE END-it's really kind of perfect.
#Movie deep blue shark movie
The idea of super smart mako sharks whose brains have been enlarged in order to create larger quantities of an Alzheimer's curing enzyme is one of the most batshit ludicrous ideas to be cooked up by a (surely) coked out mind-and you can't not love it.Ī monster movie set in an offshore scientific laboratory where the human prey is hunted down by hyper intelligent sharks.

I loved the late 90's for all the bizarre creature feature flicks that popped up like this one, Anaconda, and Deep Rising. Let's be straight though, 'Deep Blue Sea' is not a great film but it sure as hell is one of the most ridiculous and entertaining shark/action movies out there. Saw this in the theatre with my dad, and still to this day whenever he sees Sam Jackson in anything he'll laugh about how quickly he was eaten "in that shark movie". Wow does this movie ever need a proper blu ray release, and not one coupled with that abortion of a "sequel".
