Gene Simmons Launches Production Company With Arclight Films Chairman Gary Hamilton, Renny Harlin Shark Thriller Set as First Project

The first film greenlit under Simmons/Hamilton Prods. is “Deep Water,” a survival thriller directed by Renny Harlin (“Die Hard 2,” “Cliffhanger”). Scheduled to go into production later this year, the film tells the tale of an eclectic group of international passengers whose plane, en route from Los Angeles to Shanghai, is forced to make an emergency landing in shark-infested waters. The terrified group is forced to work together and overcome their differences if they hope to escape their sinking plane and the frenzy of sharks drawn to the wreckage.

The film is produced by Simmons, Hamilton, Arclight Films’ Ying Ye and Rob Van Norden. Arclight Films is launching worldwide sales on “Deep Water” at the Cannes market.
