BURBANK,
CA (January 30, 2018) – Building the better shark still isn’t a
good idea in Deep
Blue Sea 2,
the long-awaited sequel to the hit theatrical thriller coming this
spring from
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. The feature-length film arrives on
Blu-ray™
Combo
Pack, DVD and Digital starting April 17, 2018.
In Deep Blue Sea 2,
shark conservationist Dr. Misty Calhoun (Danielle Savre) is invited
to consult on a new, top secret project run by pharmaceutical
billionaire Carl Durant (Michael Beach). She believes the project,
performed at a remote, sea-based facility, focuses on extracting
shark antibodies to help work toward cures for human diseases.
However, Dr. Calhoun is shocked to learn that the company is using
unpredictable bull sharks as its test subjects, and Durant has
bio-engineered a shiver of highly intelligent, super-aggressive bull
sharks. When science meddles with the time-tested process of nature
and nurture, the outcome can be deadly.
Deep
Blue Sea 2
will
be available on Blu-ray™
Combo
Pack ($24.98 SRP) and DVD ($19.98 SRP), as well as Digital. The
Blu-ray™
Combo Pack features the film in hi-definition, a standard definition
DVD and a digital version of the film. The DVD features the movie in
standard definition. Deep
Blue Sea 2
is rated R for creature violence and gore, and language.
The
film is directed by two-time Independent Spirit Award nominee Darin
Scott (Menace II Society, To Sleep With Anger),
and written by Hans Rodionoff (Lost Boys: The Tribe)
and award-winning writing partners Jessica Scott & Eric Patterson
(Another Cinderella Story). Tom Keniston (Sophia Grace &
Rosie’s Royal Adventure) serves as executive producer, and Tom
Siegrist (Santa’s Little Helper, The Exorcism of Molly Hartley)
is the film’s producer.
Deep
Blue Sea 2
stars Danielle Savre (Heroes,
Boogeyman 2)
in the lead role of shark conservationist Dr. Misty Calhoun; Rob
Mayes (John
Dies at the End, Mistresses)
as Trent Slater, a highly decorated ex-Navy SEAL; and Michael Beach
(Third
Watch,
The
100,
upcoming
Aquaman)
as Carl Durant, a big pharma billionaire with questionable ethics.
Rounding out the cast is Nathan Lynn (Outlander)
as tech expert Aaron Ellroy, Kim Syster (Sterlopers)
as neurobiologist Leslie Kim, and Jeremy Jess Boado (House
Party: Tonight’s the Night)
as clinical neurophysiologist Daniel Kim.
Deep Blue Sea 2 is the
much-anticipated sequel to Deep Blue
Sea (1999), the Renny
Harlin-directed thriller that featured Thomas Jane, Samuel L.
Jackson, Saffron Burrows and LL Cool J in a film where shark research
went similarly awry. The film finished its theatrical run with a
robust $164 million in worldwide box office.
“Deep Blue Sea 2 is a
true sequel, staying within the mythology of the original film, and
taking the next step in the evolution of the sharks … and their
human counterparts,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, WBHE, Vice President,
TV Marketing, Family & Animation.
“This time, there’s more perspective from the sharks, giving
greater personality to the ‘villains’ in this film. It’s a
thrill ride that will keep the audience guessing throughout.”
