Cast

Production

Following the release of Bait 3D, a sequel about a plane en route from China to Australia crashing in the Pacific Ocean under the title Deep Water was planned, but was scrapped in March 2014 due to "uncomfortable similarities" to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.^[3]^[4]

In May 2023 however, it was announced Gene Simmons along with Arclight Films' chairman Gary Hamilton had formed Simmons/Hamilton Prods with the first film from the company being the previously shelved Deep Water with Renny Harlin set to direct.^[5] By December of that year, Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley were shooting scenes on the film in Gran Canaria with prior shooting done in New Zealand.^[6]
