Into the Blue is a 2005 film directed by John Stockwell. This is the first MGM movie to be released as the MGM/Sony Pictures co-production.
Tagline: Treasure has its price.
The special features section of the DVD chronicles how much of the movie was filmed as live action shots in the sea off the Bahamas, with live, wild sharks. It shows film crews wearing chain mail as protection whilst the cast perform in the water unprotected. The filming was made possible by the development of shark tourism in the Bahamas. The sharks are used to being hand fed and will not generally attack humans but as a result will grab any item that "hits" the water as potential food. In an early scene Paul Walker has to grab two fins and a dive mask flung to him by Alba. During filming he missed the mask. It was never seen again after hitting the water and the DVD hints it was taken by a shark.
As part of the direct-to-video craze of recent years, a sequel, Into The Blue 2 is in production.
