Fans of Phoebe Dynevor, star of the Netflix series “Bridgerton,” may soon see her in a whole new light. The actress is reportedly in talks to lead the cast of an upcoming Sony Pictures shark thriller. The film, directed by Tommy Wirkola (“Violent Night”) and produced by Adam McKay (“Don’t Look Up”) and Kevin Messick, is slated to begin filming in Melbourne, Australia next month.

The project is expected to be a significant boost to the local economy, with an estimated $30 million budget and nearly 700 jobs created. While official details remain under wraps, the film’s Australian setting and Sony’s backing suggest a high-stakes adventure with a strong commercial potential.
