Original Theatrical Poster.
Status: Lost
Deep Blue Sea is a American 1999 film directed by Renny Harlin and staring Saffron Burrows. The plot of this film follows a group of scientists working to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease through research on mako sharks. 3 genetically engineered sharks attempt to wreck and flood the facility to escape.
One month before the film's release, the ending has Susan (Saffron Burrows) not only escape the shark, but the deliver the killing blow to it.[1] When audiences saw the ending, they hated it because they viewed Susan as the bad guy because she was behind the whole experiment. There were even test cards that said, "Kill The Bitch". Later, they re shot the ending to have Susan killed by the shark, while Preacher(LL Cool J) became the one to deliver the killing blow.[2]
The original ending has never been released on home media, and nothing has indicated that it will be released on home media. The only thing to leak from the ending is a picture in which Thomas Jane and Saffron Burrows' characters share a kiss on screen.
