Deep Blue Sea 2 Gets a Trailer and Details on the Blu-Ray Release

While I’m never terribly confident in straight to blu-ray sequels, I can’t help but be excited for the upcoming release of Deep Blue Sea 2.  Despite the goofiness, I really loved the first movie; I admit I’m a sucker for monster/shark movies regardless of the level of ridiculousness. The premise really isn’t too far off the rails and made for some tense action sequences.  

Word of a sequel have been floating around since its launch nearly 20 years ago (1999), but nothing ever came to fruition until recently.  Now it’s finally happening and set to launch on blu-ray/digital on April 17, 2018, plus we even get a trailer!  

This definitely looks like Deep Blue Sea…to the point of feeling more like a reboot than sequel, but honestly, I’m not complaining.  I’m still going to watch it, schlock and all.  

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 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.
