For a movie you’d think would largely take place in the water, the new stills we have from Russell Mulchay’s Australian killer shark flick, BAIT (in 3D), show anything but. In fact, there isn’t even a goddamn shark in these new pics. What gives?!?
Oh well, at least we have some gun brandishing, as unthreatening as it comes off. And why the hell does that last shot look like the poster for HARD RAIN 2?
Co-directed with Mulchay by Kimble Rendall, BAIT picks up:
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.
Jesse Spencer, Xavier Samuel, Julian McMahon, Cariba Heine (below) and Alice Parkinson are a few of the principal players.
No word yet when BAIT will tour the globe, but it casts out to Australian theaters in September. Keep it near for more…
