David R. Ellis (“The Final Destination” and “Snakes on a Plane”) has been tapped to direct “Shark Night”.

The Incentive Filmed Entertainment project is going to film in 3D, and is written by Jesse Studenberg and Will Hayes. It is scheduled to start shooting this summer in Louisiana with Chris Briggs, Mike Fleiss, and Lynette Howell producing. Ellis has previously worked in 3D on “The Final Destination”, and he will be using the same technology for “Shark Night”, according to Deadline New York.

Walt Conti, who previously worked with Ellis on “Deep Blue Sea” where he was second-unit director for the water sets, will create the animatronic sharks in “Shark Night 3D”.
