‘Chum’ Trailer Debuts as IFC Sets June 5 Theatrical and VOD Release

The Alice Eve-led shark thriller opts for a same-day theater-plus-digital rollout to broaden its summer reach.

Overview

  • IFC Films unveiled the official trailer and synopsis, confirming a June 5 release in theaters alongside VOD and Digital platforms.
  • A destination wedding in Malta turns into a survival fight after a shark attack, with a fisherman’s hidden agenda driving the danger.
  • Alice Eve headlines the film and also serves as a producer, with Eric Michael Cole, Elle Haymond, Sarah Siadat, Johnny Gaffney, Lisa Yaro, and Jim Klock in support.
  • Jonathan Zuck directs and co-writes with Joe Leone, from a story by James Kondelik, Ryan R. Johnson, and Dick Grunert, with producers including Johnson, Kurt Fethke, Eve, Eamon O’Rourke, Lucas Jarach, and Luke Daniels.
  • The day-and-date strategy reflects a common indie approach that aims to reach horror fans at home and in theaters at once, while the Mediterranean setting gives the genre a sunny coastal backdrop.
