Brand new Australian shark thriller Fear Below has been announced by Bronte Pictures, with a 2023 release being eyed.
Fear Below is co-written by Holmes and Gregory Moss, with the story following a team of professional divers hired to locate a sunken car from a river in 1940s Australia.
After being thwarted by a large deadly bull shark hunting in the waters, the divers soon discover they are working for ruthless criminals trying to recover their stolen gold bullion, with the bank robbers proving to be as deadly and treacherous as what lurks beneath the surface.
Writer/director Matthew Holmes said,
“We are approaching all the shark and gore effects in an entirely old-school way, using an assortment of practical effects. No digital sharks, no digital blood, and all shot on location.
“I want to hearken back to classic films like ‘Jaws’ and ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ to give ‘Fear Below’ a timeless quality to go along with its 1946 period setting.”
Look out for more news on Fear Below soon.
