The Waters Are Dangerous in “47 Meters Down” Sequel Teaser

Last summer the country was taken by storm when Mandy Moore and Claire Holt found themselves fighting against one of nature’s most deadly predators in the surprise summer indie hit 47 Meters Down. 

Grossing almost $45 million stateside, the film was one of the biggest success stories of the year in regard to independent cinema.  While a sequel was never in doubt (it is a horror film after all), Entertainment Studios has just confirmed, by way of a teaser trailer, that 47 Meters Down: The Next Chapter will invade theaters June 2019.

Johannes Roberts, who already has one sequel under his belt thanks to this year's The Strangers: Prey at Night, is returning to the director's chair for this follow-up.  Though no official word has been made, I wouldn't expect either Moore or Holt to find there way back into the deep water.

The teaser, which reveals nothing and offers up snippets from the original film, serves its purpose as we watch a shark reign terror down on our lead protagonists.  While no official plot details have been released for The Next Chapter, the teaser will likely succeed in giving us all the chills as many venture out into the water one last time before heading home for the start of another school year.

It's should come as no surprise that this trailer is being dropped on the same night as The Meg, the Jason Statham shark centric picture, hits theaters.  Smart marketing if I do say so myself.

About Stephen Davis

Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
