Fans of last summer’s shark thriller 47 Meters Down will be excited to hear that a sequel is nearing completion and Entertainment Studios just released the first teaser trailer for 47 Meters Down: The Next Chapter which you can watch below.

The original proved to be a monster hit and took a huge bite out of the independent box office with a $44 million haul on a puny $5 million budget.{googleads}

Early reports hinted at the studio hoping to escalate the danger of the next encounter when it was announced that the film was to be titled 48 Meters Down. But somewhere along the way, the poor decision to go with the updated title was made. Picture us giving a giant facepalm upon learning of the new title.

Very little is known about the film at this point and this new teaser trailer certainly doesn't provide any additional insight. There is no spoken language in the trailer and very little is revealed about the plot. So little in fact, that this teaser could actually be constructed of clips from the original and we'd be none the wiser.

The timing for the trailer's release is perfect as there is currently another shark flick eating up theaters in the form of The Meg about a long-thought prehistoric shark preying on anyone who stands - or swims - in its way.

Though the cast, poster, and official synopsis for 47 Meters Down: The Next Chapter have yet to be released, the film’s director, Johannes Roberts says it will be like an underwater version of The Descent but with "six or seven people trapped in the caves in Brazil, in an underwater city."

Ernest Riera returns to the shark infested waters and joins Roberts on the screenplay.
