Billed as a “deep sea thriller,” RLJE Films has acquired The Dive, Variety reports this morning, and they’ll be bringing the movie to theaters and On Demand on August 25, 2023.
This one sounds like 47 Meters Down, but seemingly without any sharks.
Variety details, “The movie stars Louisa Krause (“Billions”) and Sophie Lowe (“Medieval”) as sisters Drew and May. After a massive landslide sends rocks tumbling into the sea, May is struck by a rock and now lies deep below the surface, trapped by debris and unable to move. That means Drew must put her own life in jeopardy to save her sister before time runs out.”
Max Erlenwein directed The Dive, which he wrote with Joachim Hedén (Breaking Surface).
“‘The Dive’ is a suspenseful and thrilling descent into the great unknown that we cannot wait to share with audiences this summer,” says RLJE Films Chief Acquisitions Officer Mark Ward. “We’re excited to partner with Protagonist, augenschein and the outstanding film team on this deep-sea adventure turned living nightmare.”
“‘The Dive’ takes audiences on an immersive journey of survival where the human body and mind are pushed to the limit, filled with breathtaking action and from the perspective of two female leads with rich character arcs,” said Maximilian Leo at augenschein Film produktion.
