Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez met and fell in love on the set of this film, eventually getting engaged and marrying in 2013.
The film had a reported $25 million budget, and eventually grossed less than $500,000 at the box office.
While filming, Halle Berry was able to touch a great white shark in the wild while leaning over in a boat. She spent some time studying for several weeks with a shark whisperer who had decades of experience to prepare for the role.
Director John Stockwell says the sharks in this movie were much more skittish and lethal, as compared to the tame ones he had while filming Into the Blue (2005).
The film completed filming in 2010, but was continually delayed before seeing a release simultaneously in theaters and Video On Demand in 2012.
