What Lies in The Shallows? First Trailer

Sony Pictures Entertainment has debuted the first trailer for Jaume Collet-Serra's (Orphan) The Shallows. Influenced by Spielberg's Jaws (1975), the first clip shows actress Blake Lively as Mia, trapped in the shoals. The limp tagline: "what was once in the deep is now in the shallows" focuses the film on the shark and that huge fish makes it appearance in the film's first trailer. Looking back, astute horror fans will remember that Lively had her start in horror films, with Simon Says (2006). This latest thriller puts Lively more front and center. And, fans of film can see more of Lively and the shark in this exciting clip.

Much of the film's story can be seen in the trailer. However, Nancy or Mia (depending on your source) is trapped on a rocky outcrop, after being injured while surfing. Her blood attracts a hungry beast. With the shore just 200 yards away, this protagonist will have to make a treacherous swim, or perish in the ocean.

The trailer utilizes perspective. The camera looks from above, in one scene. This directing style is useful for comparing the heroine to one of nature's deadliest predators. There is a huge difference in size. Fans of thrillers can take a look at the beast and this dire predicament below.
