Open Water’s Final Trailer and a Whole Lotta Facts.

Extremely Limited release for the past week and a half (no Toronto… Grrrr) and this Friday, it’ll finally get screened in your city – what I’ve already called as what will be this summer’s sleeper hit: Open Water. Okay, I’ll get the assorted links out of the way:

A new Final Trailer is online: Right Here.
(I actually like the first one a lot more, but there it is…)

And, although this is a pretty lame way to get “news”, every once in a blue moon MSN posts some pretty interesting articles on their “hotmail logout page”. Today there was an Open Water article which had a shocking number of details about how this sucker was put together: (Article is here)
Here’s a few tidbits:

– Made over 3 years
– Budget was 120,000 bucks of the producer’s and director’s own money.
– The producer and director are married.
– The jelly-fish swarm is real and unplanned.
– Not every shark was planned ether.
– They’d throw bloody tuna into the water to get the sharks “worked up”. (“And the intelligence award goes to…”)
– Purchased by Lions Gate for 2 million bucks.
– The only change Lions Gate made: – adding a musical score. That’s impressive.

That said, go see Open Water on Friday. And Lion’s Gate are clever people.
