When it comes to filming back-to-back projects, one could do worse than swapping out Byron Bay for the Great Ocean Road.
Such was the scenario for young actress Savannah La Rain, who went from shooting Tyler Atkins’ debut feature Bosch and Rockit with Luke Hemsworth in the second half of 2020 to riding waves in regional Victoria earlier this year for upcoming Netflix young adult series Surviving Summer.
The 16-year-old told If the transition was a case of art imitating life.
“I loved how could just tell the vibe [with Surviving Summer] was so Australian with the surfing and the lingo,” she said.
“Having just come from Byron, where I had been experiencing the surf culture, it was very cool to see it in a television show and it felt very relatable.
“I could just tell it was something so special that I wanted to be a part of.”

The sharks in a supermarket flick Bait 3D (review) was met with a fine reception from most fans for a good reason - it was a lot of bloody fun! That being said sequel talk has begun chumming the waters.
Twitch reports that Arclight Films has announced a sequel to the Australian shark-in-a-supermarket thriller Bait, directed by Kimble Rendall, and starring Xavier Samuel, Julian McMahon, Sharni Vinson, Phoebe Tonkin, Martin Sacks, Alice Parkinson, Alexander Russell, Qi Yuwu, Adrian Pang, Lincoln Lewis and Damien Garvey.
The original intense 3D thriller tells the story of a group of survivors in a sleepy beach town who suddenly find themselves trapped inside a submerged supermarket following a freak tsunami. As they try to escape to safety, they soon discover that there is a predator among them more deadly than the threat of drowning—vicious great white sharks lurking in the water, hungry for fresh meat.

Clean up on aisle 12! Can someone bring the mop, sanitizer, and body bag?
I’ve been tracking Bait for a while now, ever since I stumbled upon some fanboys talking up a crazy Australian flick involving sharks and a super market. Such a premise was right up this horror aficionado’s alley, as it sounds like the perfect start of something full of campy action and indulgent aquatic gore. I mean, Snakes on a Plane worked, didn’t it?
Director Kimbel Rendall’s dangerous tale essentially plays off the same type of ludicrous scenario, except he opens up the setting a bit and increases the size of his aggressive creature. These lumbering monsters gave the term “express checkout” a whole new meaning to our characters.
To fully enjoy all the thrashing bodies and underwater escapes, check your rationality at the door. You’re going to see a movie about sharks...

A film centred around sharks attacking people in a flooded supermarket isn.t often compared to the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and actor Sam Shepard. But leave aside the unique challenges of shooting in water for nine weeks with actors (including children) standing on shelves, and a mix of animatronic and computer-generated sharks . all captured in 3D . and that.s exactly what you.re left with according to director Kimble Rendall.
.Once we were working with the actors it was a bit like doing a Sam Shepard play on the stage because it really was like a theatre. There were eight actors out on the set and they don.t really leave,. although he laughingly adds .some of them leave . not by choice..
It is still a shark movie after all.
It begins with former couple Josh (Xavier Samuel) and Tina (Sharni Vinson) who come face-to-face in a supermarket...

The fun, preposterous disaster/shark hybrid Bait floats above similar Dtv fair, but the déjà vu is deep.
Tragedy strikes the waters of a small Australian beach community when a great white shark attacks and kills two people, including lifeguard Rory (Richard Brancatisano). His death tears apart the relationship of his sister Tina (Sharni Vinson) and best friend/fellow lifeguard Josh (The Loved Ones’ Xavier Samuel). One year later, Josh is still haunted by the death of his friend (whom he was seconds away from saving) and laboring at a mindless job as a grocery store employee. Before leaving for work, he catches a news story (Foreshadowing at Five) warning locals about a group of great white sharks in the area who are following the southern migration of humpback whales.

tiger sharks in the water, with the film's first trailer. Multiple threats await a group of friends, who must fend off an armed robber, a wild tsunami and some hungry meat-eaters of the sea. The clip for Bait 3D is exciting and the release of this horror feature is surely only a few gasping breaths away. Have a look at the tense clip below, courtesy of Fangroia.

"In a sleepy coastal resort community, shoppers at an underground supermarket find themselves terrorized by a crazed bandit, when the unimaginable occurs… A monstrous freak tsunami swallows the town. Now trapped inside a flooded supermarket with an armed maniac and rushing water threatening to entomb them all in a watery grave. The imprisoned band of survivors discover they’re not alone.

I needed a few minutes to regain my composure after watching the sales trailer for Kimble Rendall's Bait 3D, yes, that other 3-D shark movie. The footage is absolutely hilarious as nearly every single aspect looks staged - it's like watching a stunt show at Universal Studios or something (kind of reminds me of their ongoing "Waterworld" show). The shark popping out of the water looks like the cheap Jaws effect on the studio tour, and the way the set is dressed makes it look terribly staged. Even the shotgun blast at the end reminds me of when the tour boat captain on Disney's "Jungle Cruise" shoots at a wild Hippopotamus. Xavier Samuel, Julian McMahon, Sharni Vinson, Phoebe Tonkin, Martin Sacks, Alice Parkinson, Alexander Russell, Qi Yuwu, Adrian Pang, Lincoln Lewis, Damien Garve all star.
