Synopsis
Sara (Halle Berry) is a modern-day adventurer, deeply drawn to close encounters with the magnificent White Sharks who rule the primal predator shore of isolated Guadalupe Island. When her husband chooses ambition over his wife's safety in a split-second encounter with the jaws of death, her marriage nearly breaks apart. A year later, a monsoon season voyage back to the same island becomes an escalating series of terrifying underwater confrontations and gut-wrenching emotional challenges. Testing her courage in the face of nature's ultimate terror, she shows herself as tough as the men she is attracted to - and perhaps the bravest of all. Sara endures and changes the terms of the contest with mankind's most feared underwater predator.

The first teaser poster for Dark Tide, an action-thriller starring Halle Berry (X-Men trilogy) and Olivier Martinez (S.W.A.T.) has appeared online.
As you can probably tell, sharks are involved. It’s been roughly 8 years since we last saw sharks on the big screen, with Deep Blue Sea in 1999 and Open Water in 2003, but they seem to be making a comeback recently with Relatively Media’s Shark Night 3D hitting in September, and now Dark Tide.

Diving instructor Kate Mathieson (Halle Berry), who had a near-fatal encounter with a Great White Shark, returns to deep waters with a small group of marine biologist and tourists. Things turn to the worse when they get shipwrecked on a small rocky island surrounded by Great White Sharks and must find a way to escape.

In an interview with The Wrap last year writer Amy Sorlie (a journalist and accomplished shark diver) said:

“I tried to keep it very authentic. A lot of shark movies tend to be, for lack of a better word, “cheesy.” I really wanted to be respectful of these animals and set a film in their environment, as opposed to a shark that hunts a group of spring breakers or beachgoers. There are a lot of people that make a living studying Great Whites, so I wanted to approach it from that angle, while still keeping the thrilling moments people expect from a film like this.”

Dark Tide is directed by John Stockwell (Blue Crush, Into the Blue) and will be released sometime this year.
