00:26The
00:28The chance to blend an amazing action thriller involving an apex predator with believable
00:36and sympathetic characters.
00:38That was the main thing that I was interested in when I read this script.
00:45This film operates on two levels.
00:47There is the physical nemesis of the shark, there is the physical nemesis of the narcos,
00:52but really the story of psychological repair.
00:58I love the fact that you see her, and you see her background, and you see her as a child.
01:04It's great for the audience, what she goes through, you know, like her trauma, you see
01:08all that.
01:11I love her choices, the choice of helping people, of, you know, saving lives.
01:20That means putting her life in danger, and in the end, even putting Jackson in danger.
01:28Great.
01:29I play Jackson in Deep Fear.
01:31He is the other half of Naomi.
01:34He is a yacht builder, a master yacht builder.
01:37And he lives in the Caribbean with his girlfriend, and he wants to settle down.
01:46In terms of our chemistry, that started at the Capri Film Festival, which is where I was introduced
01:52to her.
01:54Well, I started with a traumatic experience for him, because I told him, you really look
02:00like my brother.
02:01That's the first thing I told him, so that was wrong.
02:09I liken her to a female Christopher Waltz.
02:13She's scary on screen.
02:14I know.
02:16I'm transporting drugs through the Caribbean to America.
02:20We had an accident, and I cannot allow something to happen to the bricks of cocaine.
02:28And that's why I'm not even trying to hurt the shark at all.
02:31I have.
02:32It's actually helping me.
02:34We know each other.
02:37You know, nowadays, we're living in an age where CGI and VFX are improving by the second
02:44as technology evolves so rapidly.
02:46And so therefore, you really have to be at the forefront of that, and we're very happy
02:51to be partners with Lip Sync Post in London, who are the cutting edge of VFX.
02:57So we've invested heavily into making sure that our sharks are, you know, basically one
03:03of our leading stars.
03:05They're in the background, but their presence is known.
03:07Their presence is there, and that creates so much suspense and terror and everything like
03:11that.
03:12So it's going to be really, really cool to kind of get that fear above and that fear below.
03:16You know, it's real deep fear stuff.
03:21It's a fight for survival.
03:25An amazing shark movie.
03:28A love story.
03:31You've got a beautiful, beautiful shark.
03:35It's a hostage movie.
03:38The Narcos.
03:43It's a hell of a riot.
03:44Auffy The Narcos.
03:45Aoebe as a 느illas.
