We shot on Lord Howe Island (New South Wales, Australia) where nobody has ever shot before so it’s exciting to share a place that is so pure. Blake: It’s a great movie to see in the summertime because you’ve got warm water and a beautiful beach.Q: Why will everyone enjoy The Shallows as a summer movie? She’s going to drown and get eaten by a shark or try to survive and maybe make it.īlake shooting the film Courtesy of Sony Pictures She’s accessing how close am I to shore? How close is that buoy? How close is this whale carcass? What do I have around me that is my greatest chance of living because it comes down to either she is going to die trying to live or she’s going to die just giving up. She’s timing the tide because she is on a rock where the ocean is about to take the tide. She has this surfing watch where she times the shark and its behavior. So, it’s neat to think “Wow, humans are incredibly resourceful and they will use any means that they have (to survive)”. She can barely deal with the emotional challenges or monsters she has in her own life and here she is facing this incredible beast. Blake: What’s interesting about the survival story is you immediately imagine yourself in the situation and you think “I don’t know if I could survive that” but Nancy is not necessarily someone who is equipped to go head-to-head with a great white shark.Q: Your character lives an incredible survival story.
