It sure has taken this fish a long time to wash up on shore.

We’ve been writing about BAIT 3D since 2009, for cryin’ out loud, and while most of us may well have forgotten all about it, it would appear as though Anchor Bay Films sees something they like; the distributor has snatched up all North American rights to the Kimble Rendall-directed shark attack thriller. (Russell Mulcahy was originally attached to the project, but ultimately did not direct.)

We’re not sure when the film will be released, but Anchor Bay will likely reveal that information in the not-distant future.

In a sleepy coastal resort community, shoppers at an underground supermarket find themselves terrorized by a crazed bandit when the unimaginable occurs… A monstrous freak tsunami swallows the town.


Now trapped inside a flooded supermarket with an armed maniac and rushing water threatening to entomb them all in a watery grave, the imprisoned band of survivors discover they’re not alone. The tsunami has brought some unwanted visitors from the depths. As the waters rise, they must overcome not only the threat of drowning but another threat, just as deadly and far more bloodthirsty… packs of hungry tiger sharks.

BAIT 3D stars Xavier Samuel, Sharni Vinson (pictured below), Singaporean thesps Adrian Pang and Qi Yuwu, Phoebe Tonkin, Dan Wyllie and “Nip/Tuck’s” Julian McMahon.
