Are you a fan of Shark Week on the Discovery Channel? And do you enjoy your sharks in 3-D? If so, then you are the target audience for the new film by director David R. Ellis (Snakes on a Plane, The Final Destination) titled Shark Night 3-D. Incentive Entertainment is financing the film for $28 million and they are hoping that this will be the Jaws for the new 3-D generation.
Mike Fleiss, Chris Briggs and Lynette Howell are producing shark Night 3-D. Briggs and Fleiss worked together on Hostel and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the non-good one). Shark Night 3-D will feature CGI and animatronic sharks, which Walt Conti who created the sharks for Deep Blue Sea and the whales in the Free Willy films will be creating.
David R. Ellis has worked with 3-D on The Final Destination and he also served as the second unit director on The Perfect Storm and Deep Blue Sea. So, if anyone has the chops to pull this off, it is David R. Ellis. Shark Night 3-D begins filming this summer in Louisiana.
FYI, we’ve already had a 3-D shark movie and it sucked.

In my head, my childhood was very similar to the guys in Stand By Me, The Goonies and The Monster Squad. In reality, my friends and I were just a bunch of nerds, raised in good Christian homes, riding our bikes and hanging out in the middle of nowhere Ohio. Nothing about my childhood was like that of Gordie's or Mikey's or even Sean's as much as I wanted it to be. But growing up in North West Ohio I felt a strong connection to those guys and I really wanted to be them. However, I wasn't them and I had a life of my own created and shaped by my own decisions. My friends and I were totally obsessed with any horror movies we could con our parents into renting. I was ten when Freddy started coming after me, Chucky started hiding under my bed and I could start hearing voices in the TV static. The nightmares began at age ten and follow me till this day. I love horror and am always looking for that movie that will grab me and screw with my imagination like when I was a kid. I am the bass player for The Highgears and the head staff member here at The Blood Sprayer, if you don't like it - too bad.
If it’s a shark movie that’s not Jaws it’s doomed from the start. No matter how many 80s hip-hop legends they throw in it… You heard me L.L. Cool J
