The director of 48 Meters Down says that the shark-infested 47 Meters Down sequel will step up the terror and be an underwater version of The Descent.
Johannes Roberts is fast becoming a prolific horror director, and when 47 Meters Down became a surprisingly substantial hit at theaters and home media, he decided to return to film a follow-up.
After shooting several low-budget Indie horrors, Roberts shot The Other Side of the Door with Sarah Wayne Callies, before making 47 Meters Down.
The director also admits that most filming will take place in a water tank (as did 47 Meters Down), purely because it would be so dangerous to film otherwise.
