    Shark Night 3D Trailer

      

    The first trailer for Shark Night 3D has made it's way online, and I'm really not sure they intended for it to be as hilarious as it is, but for me I couldn't stop laughing. I know the same guy that directed the genre classic Snakes on a Plane made this masterpiece so naturally my expectations were set extremely high for the first trailer. Unfortunately lines like "but this is a lake?!...it's salt water" just couldn't allow me to take the movie as serious as I'm sure the studio hoped. A lot of complaints seem to be geared towards the racism of the CGI sharks and not the shitty CGI itself. I've heard things like these sharks must be great white power sharks and that's why the black guy died first. I think if given the chance this could be the equivalent to a successful Jaws reboot, I mean given what we've seen so far it already looks like a strong Oscar contender for next year!

    If you're actually interested here's the official synopsis:

    A sexy summer weekend turns into a blood-soaked nightmare for a group of college students trapped on an island surrounded by voracious underwater predators in Shark Night 3D, a terrifying thrill ride from director David Ellis (The Final Destination, Snakes On a Plane), featuring a red-hot young cast including Sara Paxton (Superhero Movie, Last House on the Left), Dustin Milligan (“90210,” Slither), Chris Carmack (“The O.C.”), Joel David Moore (Avatar), Chris Zylka (The Amazing Spider Man) and Katharine McPhee (The House Bunny). Arriving by boat at her family’s Louisiana lake island cabin, Sara (Sara Paxton) and her friends quickly strip down to their swimsuits for a weekend of fun in the sun. But when star football player Malik (Sinqua Walls) stumbles from the salt-water lake with his arm torn off, the party mood quickly evaporates. Assuming the injury was caused by a freak wake-boarding accident, the group realizes they have to get Malik to a hospital on the other side of the lake, and fast. But as they set out in a tiny speedboat, the college friends discover the lake has been stocked with hundreds of massive, flesh-eating sharks! As they face one grisly death after another, Sara and the others struggle desperately to fend off the sharks, get help and stay alive long enough to reach the safety of dry land.
