**London, UK** – Actor [Actor’s Name], star of the cult classic *Deep Blue Sea*, has revealed behind-the-scenes details of the 1999 shark thriller, highlighting the film’s surprisingly soggy production and the creative decisions that shaped its iconic ending.

In a recent interview, [Actor’s Name] described the extensive use of water in filming the storm scenes, stating he was “in water for a month” with “big-ass waves flying everywhere.” He praised director Renny Harlin’s vision, accepting the role knowing his character would be the first to die, a decision he felt elevated the stakes for the other characters. This wasn’t his first brush with watery deaths; a hurricane destroyed the set for his planned *Jurassic Park* demise, robbing him of being “eaten by a velociraptor.”

The actor detailed the practical and CGI effects used to depict the sharks, highlighting the challenges of working with a massive, remote-controlled shark model. He also shared anecdotes about the film’s production in Baja Studios, Mexico, using water tanks built for *Titanic*, and the eventual adaptation of the film’s ending after negative test screening responses.

Originally, the film ended with the lead scientist, played by Saffron Burrows, surviving. However, test audiences overwhelmingly felt she deserved punishment for her role in genetically engineering the sharks, leading to a last-minute reshoot and a revised ending that sees LL Cool J’s character emerge as the sole survivor. [Actor’s Name] jokingly suggested that Burrows’ upper-class British accent might have contributed to the negative audience reaction.

The film, now available on 4K UHD and Blu-ray from Arrow Video, is remembered for its thrilling action sequences and its surprisingly poignant commentary on human interference with nature. [Actor’s Name] also confirmed his ongoing collaboration with director Renny Harlin, hinting at the possibility of a future encounter with the very same shark that claimed his character’s life in *Deep Blue Sea*.
