The shark thriller film “Zipline” has launched sales with a cast that includes Ioan Gruffudd (“Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” “Fantastic Four” franchise), Ross Butler (“Shazam!” franchise, “To All the Boys: Always & Forever,” “Riverdale”), Holland Roden (“Teen Wolf,” “Mayans MC”) and Sonia Ammar (“Scream,” “The Equalizer 3”).

The feature is written by George Mahaffey Jr. and directed by Magnus Martens (“SAS: Red Notice,” “Fear the Walking Dead”). Simple House Films is producing, marking the debut project under that production banner. Black Bear owns the international rights to the film.

“After reuniting for a relaxing getaway on a tropical island, a group of college friends find their adventurous spirits tested to the limit when an exhilarating zipline excursion leaves them hanging perilously hundreds of feet over a deserted lagoon. As the temperature rises and the zipline begins to collapse, they work together to find a way down but are horrified to discover that an even greater threat awaits them in the depths below,” reads the film’s logline.
