‘Deep Blue Sea’ To Close BFI London Fest

• One of the best remakes I’ve ever seen. Rachel is terrific in her interpretation of Sam Jackson’s shark-crazed scientist character from the original.

  I’d love to see her take on “Snakes on a Plane” next.

  • I’m either really tired or that’s f’in funny cause I’m still laughing. Does she still give the Jackson speech then get eaten out of the blue? I hope so.

• So a Rachel Weisz-film will open (360) AND close the festival…that’s one helluva tribute…especially if her 3 OTHER films this year (The Whistleblower, Page Eight, Dream House) will get slots, too…but if THAT happens, they might as well just call it “The Rachel Weisz Film Festival”.

• A lot of people don’t know that Rachel Weisz is a cougar in this film. Tom Hiddleston is 30 and she is 41.

• I agree. It was a very intriguing and perhaps even brilliant to take a motion picture like Renny Harlin’s 1999 classic “The Deep Blue Sea” and, in fact, reboot it as a petticoat drama, a classy and moving drama about Rachel Weisz’s work as a scientist/single mother just trying to find the cure to her father’s Alzheimer’s, while the sharks (both literal and metaphorical) are constantly nipping at the feet of her and everyone around her.

  I, too, am looking forward to the SOAP reboot, “The Snakes on the Plane”.

• Is it me or Is it the same person telling the same bad joke over and over again. It was amusing the first time, after? No.
