The third film in the franchise will be co-written by Ernest Riera, who wrote the first two films, and the original films director, Johannes Roberts. Patrick Lussier (My Bloody Valentine) is attached to direct.
47 Meters Down: The Wreck will follow a father who is determined to rebuild his relationship with his daughter as they bond during a scuba diving in beautiful tropical waters while exploring a famous shipwreck.

As tensions rise and oxygen dwindles, the pair must use their newfound bond to escape the wreck and the relentless barrage of bloodthirsty great white sharks.
