‘High Tide’ – Lizzy Greene Starring in Shark Attack Horror Movie
It seems like we just keep reporting on brand new shark attack horror movies, and that’s definitely not a complaint. This next one is titled High Tide, and Deadline brings us the scoop.
Lizzy Greene (A Million Little Things) will star and executive produce.
The upcoming survival horror movie “strands a group of friends on a swiftly submerging tidal island deep in the Pacific, where they are soon hunted by the ocean’s greatest predator.”
Deadline details, “Lizzy Greene will play Hannah who, mourning the death of her sister, takes off around the world. Her journey leads her to Fiji and on a tour of an isolated atoll – a volcanic island that disappears with each high tide. But when the group are stranded, the rapidly rising ocean begins to reveal its terrifying inhabitants.”
David Straiton (“Hemlock Grove”) is directing High Tide.
Erik Patterson and Jessica Scott (Abandoned) wrote the screenplay.
Architect’s Calum Gray previews, “You couldn’t ask for a more ingenious and thrilling high concept than High Tide. It’s so concrete, so memorable. For a survival thriller, it’s the perfect cocktail of a treacherous, ultra-challenging environment and a single-minded, relentless antagonist. It will thrill global audiences to their core. The excellent Lizzy Greene plays a hugely relatable and highly sympathetic character who we will root for, while David and his seasoned team will craft around her a paradisal, exotic but dangerously immersive world.”
We recently celebrated the 22-year anniversary of Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers here on Bloody Disgusting, a fan favorite werewolf movie that’s still without a sequel. Over 20 years later, what are the chances of Dog Soldiers 2 ever howling its way into our lives?
Inverse asked Neil Marshall that very question in a brand new interview piece that went live this month. The bad news? It’s still no closer to happening. But Marshall isn’t giving up yet.
“I’ve a feeling it’s probably dead in the water because things have gone very quiet from the other side,” Marshall tells the site, no doubt referring to the rights issues that have long been holding up sequel talks. “I’m not giving up, though; there’s still a possibility.”
He continues, “We’ve been trying to get it off the ground for the past six years. I’ve got a story hammered out, but I’ve not written the script yet because I want to know if we’re actually making it or not first. It’s a good idea, and I know Kevin McKidd (Cooper) is on board, but everything has gone very quiet and we don’t know why. We’ll see. I can’t live my life waiting to see if it does happen. If it happens, it happens. It’s always going to be a double-edged sword, though.”
“The fans want it, and I’d love to give it to them, but if I make a mess of it, they’re not going to thank me,” Marshall elaborates on that thought. “The most important thing is making sure that it lives up to the first one. That’s the hardest part.”
He teases, “The new concept for the story is fresh and acknowledges that 20 years have passed. The story is set in a confined setting but a bigger one than the first film.”
Dog Soldiers pit soldiers up against werewolves in the Scotland wilderness, and a trilogy of films was the original plan. In fact, it had been announced back in 2004 that Dog Soldiers: Fresh Meat was in the works. Of course, that never ended up coming to fruition.
Paul Le wrote here on BD earlier this year, “The incredible highs of werewolf horror make up for the many, many lows. And after twenty-plus years, Dog Soldiers remains a benchmark.”
