The Deep Blue Sea franchise has seen a variety of sharks targeting victims in a number of different locales, with the events of the upcoming Deep Blue Sea 3 exploring what happens when a group of sharks invades a small fishing lagoon to wreak havoc, as seen in the exclusive above clip as an enhanced shark aims to take out a diver. While the first film saw mako sharks as the killers, the new film even makes those massive creatures the targets of the terrifying bull sharks. Check out the exclusive clip above and grab the film on Digital HD on July 28th and on Blu-ray and DVD on August 25th.
In the film, “Emma Collins, an eminent marine biologist, and her crew have set up a mid-ocean laboratory over a sunken island town in the ocean where they are observing the first known Great White mating area. Unfortunately, the enhanced Bull Sharks that escaped in Deep Blue Sea 2 are also there with their own evolutionary goal: cross-breeding with the bigger faster Great Whites. The mission’s patron, Richard Lowell, believes that the Bull Sharks contain the key to intelligence enhancement, which he secretly intends to sell for big profits. Now, Emma and her crew are trapped on crumbling stilt houses mere feet over the ocean, caught between predators above and below the water.”
