"Deep Blue Sea 2" on the way



According to Fangoria, Warner Premiere is in the preliminary stages of developing a Deep Blue Sea sequel.

If you'll recall, the 1999 film directed by Renny Harlin concerned super smart sharks who overrun an ocean-based research facility and proceed to eat LL Cool J's parrot and Samuel L. Jackson.

I was a fan of the original for its eerie musical score, cool shark attack sequences, and the fun cast, which also included Saffron Burrows, Stellan Skarsgård, Michael Rapaport, and Thomas Jane.

The sequel is going direct-to-DVD, much like the recently released "Lost Boys: The Tribe." I hope it retains the entertaining aspect of the original and am intrigued as to what the plot will be. I say the sharks should overrun SeaWorld.
