Andrzej Bartkowiak, the Polish cinematographer-turned-director who brought us such classics as DOOM and STREET FIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI, is delving into an action-thriller set in the Caribbean with BENEATH THE DEEP, reports Variety.

BENEATH THE DEEP follows a group of tourists in search of an underwater adventure in the Caribbean. When natural forces strand them in a vacation spot from hell, they must contend with unexpected visitors that view them as intruders and a threat to their own survival.

Bartkowiak had this to say about the project: “I am always fascinated by what I learn about myself, when I’m thrown into an unknown and uncontrolled situation. ‘Beneath the Deep,’ set in the idyllic islands of the Caribbean, is a story of resilience and ingenuity when people are faced with unexpected forces, who have no other choice but to fight for survival.”

The flick will commence production in March in Puerto Rico on a $16 million budget. As long as it features something along the lines of the image below, I’ll be there when it opens.
