Into the Blue


Dive right into the cool waters this summer with the visually stunning, fast-paced film Into the Blue. Here is a cool action-film full of gorgeous underwater scenery, bronzed bodies, and a nice level of free diving adrenaline. Moral quandaries ensue, bad guys get wind of the drugs, guns come out and the plot thickens.

Hollywood hunk Paul Walker and gorgeous bikini-clad Jessica Alba play a pair of in-love Bahamas-dwelling naturalists; she wrangles sharks at a local water park, he shepherds tourist scuba divers around the local reefs. Their peaceful tranquility gets a jolt when a fast-talking buddy played by Scott Cann and his drug-user girlfriend come to visit. The four young divers discover a legendary shipwreck rumored to contain millions in gold at the bottom of the sea and have reason to believe that their dream of buried treasure has come true. The friends make a pact to keep quiet about the discovery so they can excavate the shipwreck before a rival treasure hunter uncovers their secret and beats them to the gold, but their plan goes awry when they realize dangerous smugglers are already closing in on them.
The film is based on The Deep, a 1977 film that tries to capitalize on the JAWS phenomenon of the time but disappointed audiences by forgetting the sharks.

This version is a much more exciting film and features shark attacks and real sharks swimming amongst the actors. With the beautiful Alba undulating through the water like a mermaid, this movie becomes, in its own unique way, a perfect 10. Ralph Lauren model Tyson Beckford is suitably intense as a shady club owner and Josh Brolin is a sleazy boat captain.

Tune in to the exclusive premiere tonight at 9 pm on Star Movies
