Netflix is working with director Xavier Gens (Cold Skin, Frontier(s), The Divide) and it looks like it’s going to be a big ole epic shark picture. We can’t wait to see what Gens does with Netflix and with sharks. Gens has consistently done interesting projects and we are hoping that he works some of that magic into this sharky thriller.
The synopsis provided by Variety goes like this:
Set in the Summer of 2024, the film unfolds in Paris which is hosting the World Triathlon Championships on the Seine for the first time. Sophia, a brilliant scientist, learns from Mika, a young environmental activist, that a large shark is swimming deep in the river. To avoid a bloodbath at the heart of the city, they have no choice but to join forces with Adil, the Seine river police commander.
At the moment the project doesn’t have a name, but we will be sure to keep you updated for more sharky details when we get them in.
