'47 Meters Down' is the Mandy Moore shark movie we didn't know we wanted
Mandy Moore has played a Disney princess and now a lovable TV mom, but in June she'll join the great coterie of actresses who have played sexy shark food. In the first trailer, debuted by People, we get a look at the terrifying and awesome deep sea thriller.
In 47 Meters Down, Moore plays Lisa, a young woman fresh from a breakup who goes shark diving in lieu of a more traditional Eat, Pray, Love deal. Lisa and her sister Kate (Claire Holt) end up stranded at the bottom of the ocean with a limited oxygen supply and 47 meters of shark-infested water between them and safety.
In the tradition of shark movies, 47 Meters Down looks predictably terrifying, but it might be exactly the movie we want to see Moore in this summer -- as well as a better version of The Shallows (or some twisted, 10 Cloverfield Lane-type sequel).
47 Meters Down is in theaters June 16.
