was helmed by Xavier Gens<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\tUnder Paris starred B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo as a marine researcher who must overcome her traumatic past in order to save Paris from a mutant shark (and her offspring) that can live in fresh water and is now terrorizing the city. Especially the citizens taking part in a triathlon that the mayor has refused to cancel.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe movie and its brand of ridiculous fun proved infectious it became one of the most watched movies worldwide on the service that year.<\/p>\n
\n\tBejo is expected to return and Vincent Roget is back as producer.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt is unclear why Gens, who was one of the creature feature\u2019s co-writers, is not returning. And it is unclear who wrote the script for the sequel.<\/p>\n
\n\tNetflix had no comment.<\/p>\n
\n\tAja is an able horror-monsieur who has already worked in the water monster milieu. He made a splash with his clever French slasher movie debut Haute Tension in 2003 and then moved Stateside to direct a remake of Wes Craven\u2019s classic The Hills Have Eyes and the adaptation of Joe Hill novel Horns that starred Daniel Radcliffe.<\/p>\n
\n\tBut he also made the campy hit Piranha 3D, featuring the carnivorous tropical fish terrorizing a small town in Arizona, and helmed Crawl, the 2019 movie that told of a father and daughter trapped in their water-logged Florida home during a Category 5 hurricane, all while being hunted by hungry crocodiles. The Paramount movie, also a hit, starred Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper.<\/p>\n
\n\tAja last directed Never Let Go, Lionsgate\u2019s 2024 survival horror thriller that starred Halle Berry. He is repped by WME, Industry Entertainment and Hansen Jacobson.<\/p>\n
