British actor Jack Parr, known for his role in Peaky Blinders, delved into the process of making his new film The Last Breath in an exclusive discussion with uInterview.

The Last Breath follows a group of college friends who reunite on a Caribbean scuba diving trip. They unexpectedly end up exploring the wreckage of a WWII battleship and find themselves trapped inside ab underwater labyrinth of rusted metal, surrounded by great white sharks.

Parr set the scene for the film. “The Last Breath is about a bunch of scuba divers that go deep diving to this unexplored shipwreck, and they get trapped inside, run out of oxygen, surrounded by sharks,” he said. “So there’s a guy called Noah who I play. He’s the central character of the film. He’s out in the Caribbean working for a scuba diving school owned by Levi, played by Julian Sands, and...

The "Sharksploitation" subgenre has struggled to produce dominant hits since 2016's The Shallows. Between examples like The Black Demon and The Requin, fans of fin flicks have been subjected to an overflow of waterlogged atrocities. Joachim Hedn seemed destined to turn the tides with The Last Breath, coming from a filmmaker who'd already astounded us with underwater thrills in Breaking Surface (2020). Submerged cinematography is once again sharp, and the claustrophobia of being trapped inside a shipwreck while diving is real, but chalk another loss for sharky cinema. The Last Breath is competent to a point, without ever exceeding or even achieving baseline aquatic horror standards.

A handful of shark attack horror movies have already been released in the first half of the year, with Under Paris most recently swimming to Netflix. Up next? The Last Breath.

Rlje Films will release The Last Breath in theaters and on VOD July 26.

Notably, The Last Breath features the last performance by the late Julian Sands to reach the screen. Sadly, it’s a supporting role that doesn’t give him, or more likely his stunt double, a lot of screen time or much to do until the end of the film…

1944, somewhere off the US Virgin Islands, a German U Boat sinks the USS Charlotte. There are survivors, but where there are survivors, there are sharks. In the present, Levi (Julian Sands) has been searching for the wreck for decades, and, along with Noah he’s finally found it.

A group of Noah’s friends, Logan, Riley (Erin Mullen; Midsomer Murders), Sam who happens to be Noah’s ex, and her instantly hateable brother Brett arrive for a vacation.

Get ready to take a deep dive into terror with The Last Breath, the latest shark-infested horror film from acclaimed Swedish director Joachim Hedén. Rlje Films has just released the official trailer for this white-knuckle thriller, set to debut in select US theatres and on VOD on July 26, 2024, and 1st July in the UK and Ireland.

The Last Breath tells the harrowing tale of a group of divers who find themselves trapped in the wreckage of the USS Charlotte, a WWII battleship lost for 80 years. Their adventure begins with the excitement of a once-in-a-lifetime dive but quickly spirals into a nightmare as they realise they are not alone in the underwater labyrinth. Surrounded by great white sharks and with their air supply dwindling, the group faces a desperate fight for survival.

The narrative centres around Levi, a British expat diver played by the late Julian Sands (A Room with a View...

Actor Julian Sands (Warlock) went missing while hiking on California’s Mount Baldy back in January of 2023, and sadly, his remains were found the following June. Just four months before Sands went missing, we reported on a film called The Last Breath, a shark thriller he was working on. He gave one of his final performances in this film – and soon, we’re going to have the chance to see that performance. Rlje Films will be giving The Last Breath a theatrical and VOD release on July 26th, and with that date right around the corner, a trailer has dropped online. It can be seen in the embed above.

Aquatic horror season is in full swing, though the horror release slate is surprisingly slight on new offerings so far. Netflix’s Under Paris unleashed shark attack mayhem and carnage amidst a huge sporting event in the Seine, but there’s far more to aquatic horror than sharks.

This week’s streaming picks are dedicated to the dangers of the sea, from the fantastical, like killer mermaids, to realism-based horrors like oxygen deprivation. When the sun is scorching, these five horror movies will make you afraid to go into the water.

Further expanding the survival thriller genre is The Dive, which plunges its characters completely underwater. This remake of the 2020 film Breaking Surface centers on two sisters -- one of whom is trapped in the depths of the sea after rocks from a nearby landslide render her unconscious. With limited time and limited air, her sibling must find a way to extract her without drowning herself.

Behind the camera for this adventure was director Maximilian Erlenwein, who joined Cbr to talk about the unique opportunity that The Dive presented him. Not only did he shoot a majority of the film underwater, but he also received a co-writing credit for the movie alongside Breaking Surface writer Joachim Hedén. Here's how Erlenwein brought The Dive together in multiple ways to create a thriller fans of foreign films are sure to enjoy.

Stars: Louisa Krause, Sophie Lowe | Written and Directed by Maximilian Erlenwein

Written and directed by Maximilian Erlenwein, The Dive is an English language remake of the 2020 Swedish thriller Breaking Surface, which is basically the same story, only colder, due to it being set in northern Norway. As such, it’s an effective and engaging survival horror, not too far removed from 2022’s horror hit The Fall, which had two women stuck up a pole, as opposed to two women stuck underwater. You could also, somewhat less generously, see it as 47 Metres Down without the sharks.

Louisa Krause and Sophie Lowe play May and Drew, two sisters of a similar age, who have become semi-estranged as a result of a recent event – we assume the death of their father, though that’s never explicitly stated. Whatever the incident, May is still harbouring some resentment towards Drew (flashbacks belatedly hint at the...

Ever gone scuba diving? Or maybe just snorkeling? There's a beautiful world beneath the sea level, and if Mother Nature doesn't happen to strike with a natural disaster, it could be worth exploring with the right training and mental composure. That's the premise of The Dive, which started as a hit Swedish movie by Joachim Hedén that has since evolved to an English-language, Malta-set adaptation starring Sophie Lowe (Beautiful Kate) and Louisa Krause (The Girlfriend Experience).

In the new thriller from co-writer/director Maximilian Erlenwein, Lowe and Krause play sisters Drew and May, who venture out on a deep-sea diving trip gone terribly wrong. Thanks to a landslide, one of them gets stuck way below the surface while the other battles a depleting level of oxygen as she seeks help. Time is running out, to say the least...

Rlje Films' new thriller The Dive follows two sisters on a deep-sea diving trip that turns into a fight for survival when one of them becomes trapped below the ocean. Director Maximilian Erlenwein drew inspiration from a Swedish film and his own passion for diving when creating The Dive. Filming underwater presented numerous challenges, including communication difficulties and safety concerns, but the cast and crew overcame them to create a realistic and thrilling movie experience.

Rlje Films' new thriller The Dive will be available to see in theaters beginning Friday, August 25th. The movie follows a pair of sisters who meet up for an annual vacation in spite of the growing distance between them. However, their deep-sea diving trip turns into a fight for survival when a landslide leaves May trapped 28 meters below the ocean. Desperate to save her sister, Drew must exhaust every possible option before May's oxygen runs out.

One briny-deep thriller that does not have sharks, other aquatic predators or even human ones, German director Max Erlenwein’s English-language “The Dive” manages to work up considerable tension nonetheless. It’s closer in gist to “127 Hours” than most other underwater suspense films, hinging on a similar type of physical entrapment — only the survivable timespan here is of course much reduced, because the imperiled characters have a limited oxygen supply.

While perhaps not quite striking enough in style or incident to leave a lasting impression, this very well-crafted remake of co-writer Joachim Heden’s 2020 Norwegian feature “Breaking Surface” should particularly impress with its underwater photography on the big screen. Most viewers, however, are likely to catch it via home formats, as Rlje Films releases the film day-and-date to digital and theater screens on Aug. 25.

Rlje Films will be giving the survival thriller The Dive a theatrical release on August 25th, and with that date just a couple months away a trailer for the film has arrived online. You can check it out in the embed above.

Directed by Maximilian Erlenwein, whose previous credits include the 2009 crime drama Gravity, the 2014 thriller Stereo, and the Netflix series Skylines (all of which were German productions), The Dive has the following synopsis: A deep-sea diving trip at one of the world’s most remote spots becomes a fight for survival for sisters Drew and May when a catastrophic landslide sends rocks tumbling into the sea. After being struck by the rockfall, May now lies 28 meters below the surface, trapped by debris and unable to move.

“The movie stars Louisa Krause (“Billions”) and Sophie Lowe (“Medieval”) as sisters Drew and May. After a massive landslide sends rocks tumbling into the sea, May is struck by a rock and now lies deep below the surface, trapped by debris and unable to move. That means Drew must put her own life in jeopardy to save her sister before time runs out.”

Max Erlenwein directed The Dive, which he wrote with Joachim Hedén (Breaking Surface). The Dive looks to be a new take on the horrors explored in 2020’s Breaking Surface.

Released courtesy of Rlje Films, The Dive is centered around just two characters, Louisa Krause (Billions) and Sophie Lowe (Blow the Man Down) who find their perfect diving trip quickly turning into a life-and-death disaster. You can check out the first trailer for The Dive below.

The Dive begins as you would expect, with the perfect day for a dive. Clear sight, stable weather and an incredible, reclusive spot. Drew and May, sisters and experienced divers who share a close and complex bond, are excited as they marvel at this undiscovered underwater world. Their sense of wonder is interrupted when May is abruptly hit by a rock, which knocks off her goggles and leaves her shaken, but with only a small scratch.

However, the sisters’ relief is short-lived: the stone came from a landslide above the surface.

"You have to go to the surface and call for help!" Rlje Films has revealed the trailer for an underwater survival thriller titled The Dive, from German filmmaker Maximilian Erlenwein. This is actually a remake of a Scandinavian film called Breaking Surface, which has the same plot except in Norway. In this new one, two sisters go diving at a beautiful, remote location. One is struck by a rock underwater from a landslide, leaving her trapped 28 meters below. With dangerously low levels of oxygen and cold temperatures at these depths, it is up to her sister to save her – Drew must make life-and-death decisions with no outside help in sight... The thriller stars Sophie Lowe as Drew and Louisa Krause as May – the one trapped. This looks super scary! Especially for anyone afraid of deep water.

Last year, writer/director Joachim Hedén brought us the survival thriller Breaking Surface (watch it Here), about a woman struggling to save her sister, who was trapped underwater by a rockslide in the icy waters of Norway. Now Hedén is in production on another thriller about diving – but this time around, the threat to the divers are sharks. Filming in Belgium, the shark thriller may or may not end up being called The Last Breath. The Wreck has also come up as a potential title. But whatever the title happens to be, the first image from the film has been unveiled online and you can check it out at the bottom of this article.

More shark attack horror is on the way with The Last Breath, and Deadline lets us know this week that filming is underway in Belgium. They’ve also shared a first-look image (above).

Joachim Hedén (Breaking Surface) is directing a script by Nick Saltrese (Prayer Before Dawn).

“The survival thriller follows five college friends who go scuba diving into a recently uncovered WWII shipwreck in the British Virgin Islands, where they find themselves trapped by great white sharks.”

Jack Parr (Peaky Blinders), Kim Spearman (As I Am) and Erin Mullen star alongside Julian Sands (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).

Deadline notes that Eric Börjeson (Let The Right One In) is the cinematographer.

Released back in 2020, Joachim Hedén’s Breaking Surface is one hell of an intense underwater thriller, so we cannot wait to see what Hedén does with sharks added into the mix.

This should be one to keep an eye on!
