Continuing the day of never ending news, Deadline is reporting that David R. Ellis – director of The Final Destination 3D – will tackle the third dimension yet again. Ellis has committed to direct Shark Night 3D, a film that will shoot this summer in Louisiana. Written by Jesse Studenberg and Will Hayes, Incentive Filmed Entertainment is financing the $28 million film with the hope that it will be Jaws for the 3D generation. Anyone who has seen Asylum might understand why I’d bet against that. Ellis also directed Final Destination 2 and Snakes on a Plane for New Line. Deadline notes that Ellis is experienced in water shoots: he was second unit director on such films as The Perfect Storm and Deep Blue Sea.
