Last time we told you about Russell Mulcahy’s BAIT, it was announced that the sharks-on-a-rampage thriller would be shot in 3D. That was back in October, and all has been fairly quiet – eerily quiet – on the BAIT front ever since… Until now! (Dun dun dunnnnnn…)

Screen Daily is providing the good news that Australian Government agency Screen Australia will be providing BAIT with production cash – the flick is the first 3D project to get receive such support. There is no cast yet, however, but production is expected to start in April on the film.

Check out the synopsis: 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.
