And in the end Jaume Collet-Serra provided me with 8 obstacles that should have made The Shallows an impossible movie to film, but which he somehow managed to overcome.
Intrigued, I pushed for further details regarding how difficult production was on The Shallows.
After being presented with the script for The Shallows, which sees Blake Lively’s surfer attacked by a shark and then stranded on a rock for 24 hours, director Jaume Collet-Serra didn’t balk at overseeing a production on water, though.
James Cameron (The Abyss) and Steven Spielberg (Jaws) are just two directors that have encountered problems making nautically tinged adventures.
