DEEP BLUE SEA
comments:
The director is used to with big budget action movie, and I guess
this time, this is a big budget thriller-action, the storyline sounded
unique though, this is the best part, something new for us. I can bet there's
gonna be a great visual effects with good storyline here.With a great theme
of jaws, sharks? the last one was spielberg Jaws.

Premise: In the effort to fight brain cancer, a medical biologist designs a way of genetically enhancing the brain size of sharks so that cancer-fighting enzymes can be harvested for medical purposes. Of course... that bigger brains means smarter sharks, making nature's perfect killers the smartest ones as well... and they don't particularly care to be caged up, or cut up either.
Samuel L. Jackson plays the financier of the project, Saffron Burrows is the young scientist behind this project, and L.L. Cool J plays the chef.
