Halle Berry in talks to play great white shark attack survivor role

Dark Tide will feature a character who survives a great white shark attack

Variety reports that actress Halle Berry is in talks to play a dive instructor who survives a near-fatal great white shark attack in the upcoming film, "Dark Tide." The article does not mention whether the shark angle is a central part of the plot or not. No word on whether or not a gigantic, fake, rubberized, mechanical shark will be used in the film, which, in turn, could then be used as a pop-culture reference in any news story involving the mention of sharks.

Googled the title and an article said it was about a Scuba Instructor attacked by a Great White who overcomes her fears and goes back into the water. Could be a great drama story, but as with all things Hollywood it claims to be an action-thriller meaning the Shark may be once again made out to be a mindless, evil killer. Hopefully I am WRONG! http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118008265.html?categoryid=13&cs=1
