Dimension Films Goes Overboard for ’47 Meters Down’

Director Johannes Roberts’ 47 Meters Down has been picked up by Dimension Films for North American distribution. Commenting on the acquisition of the underwater thriller, co-chairman Bob Weinstein said, “This script really caught my eye with its tension and adventure. I look forward to working with Johannes to bring audiences a very unique edge of your seat thrill-ride.”

“I feel privileged to be working alongside a company like Dimension whose understanding of the genre is unparalleled,” said filmmaker Roberts. “Together I think we are going to give the audience a film going experience unlike anything they have ever had before.”

The Plot:


The story revolves around two sisters who become trapped at the bottom of the ocean when a diving expedition to observe sharks goes horribly wrong. When the cable attaching the observation cage to the boat breaks and the cage sinks to the bottom of the ocean, the sisters must figure out a way to get back to safety battling injuries, lack of oxygen, and, worst of all, blood thirsty, great white sharks.
