Netflix’s new shark themed thriller gets its first trailer, and fans are calling it the "French Jaws"

Forget a bigger boat, it looks like we’re going to need a bigger city as the sharks are taking ove🉐r Pari🐭s in the new trailer for Netflix’s upcoming French thriller Under Paris. 

In the trailer, we see what looks to be a marine biologist tracking a giant shark that has made its way from African waters to Paris. The fish breaks into the River Seine and soon 🉐starts terrorizing the Parisian public, while the French authorities desperately attempt to capture the beast. See the full clip above. 

The ⛦official synopsis from Netflix reads: "Summer 2024. Paris is hosting the World Triathlon Championships on the Seine for the first time🐈. Sophia, a brilliant scientist, learns from Mika, a young environmental activist, that a large shark is swimming deep in the river. To avoid a bloodbath at the heart of the city, they have no choice but to join forces with Adil, the Seine river police commander."

Netflix shared the clip on captioned "When a giant shark emerges in the Seine, a marine scientist and young activist must work together to prevent a bloodbath." And it looks like fans are already excited, with "You had me at 'giant shark'," went as far as to call it "A French Jaws." Whilst some were🔜 quick to point out the irony in its setting, "Don't spoil the Olympics!" said .

The choice to set the fishy flick during a 2024 sports ceremony in Paris is a bold one as The 2024 Summer Olympics will actually be taking place there this July, making the horror of the upcoming flick feel a little more real. Even so, it seems a little unlikely that great white sharks will be breaking into Parisian waters anytime so♈on.

Directed by Mayhem’s Xavier Gens, the movie stars 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Artist’s Bérénice♚ ♕Bejo, Nassim Lyes, and Léa Léviant.

Under Paris will be swimming onto Netflix on June 5. For more, see our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix movies available to watch right now, or keep up to date with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies heading your way this year.
