The Black Demon is an upcoming horror thriller about a vengeful megalodon shark that lurks off Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. Josh Lucas (Ford v Ferrari, Yellowstone) stars in this edge-of-your-seat action thriller from the director of Rambo: Last Blood.
Oilman Paul Sturges’ (Lucas) idyllic family vacation turns into a nightmare when they encounter a ferocious megalodon shark that will stop at nothing to protect its territory.
Stranded and under constant attack, Paul and his family must somehow find a way to get his family back to shore alive before it strikes again in this epic battle between humans and nature.
Director Grünberg is no stranger when it comes to creating big thrills and working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. This seasoned filmmaker is known for directing and co-writing the film Get The Gringo, starring Mel Gibson.
Grünberg has also served as assistant director for films such as Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto (2006) and Oliver Stone’s Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010). Most notably, he directed Rambo: The Last Blood in 2019, which is the fifth film in the popular action-packed film franchise.
I had a delightful conversation with Grünberg on his newest film, The Black Demon. We discussed the challenges of working with special effects and scrape the surface of his career as he speaks about the people and movies that have shaped him over the years.
We hope you enjoy the interview, and The Black Demon will be exclusively in theaters on April 28, 2023.
