Shark Lake, a movie about Lake Tahoe, is filming along the Mississippi Gulf Coast

Shark Lake is a feature film staring Dolph Lundgren about the shark infested waters of Lake Tahoe.

Of course, there are no sharks in the lake, but the movie's story line includes them. The movie's plot - Meredith Hendricks happens to be the best cop in her quiet town on Lake Tahoe. When a black-market exotic species dealer named Clint (played by Lundgren) is paroled from prison, something he let loose begins to make its presence known. Swimmers and land-lovers alike begin to become part of the food chain at an unbelievable rate. Meredith and her team discover that they’re not just hunting one eating machine, but a whole family of them. Not everyone will make it out alive, but those who do will never forget this summer at Shark Lake.

The Jackson County Small Craft Harbor in Mississippi will be turned into the shark-infested version of Lake Tahoe for a couple of days in February when the movie begins filming. Jerry Dugan is directing the movie which is reported to also starring Jen Oda, Ben Maccabee and James Chalke.

It was reported last fall that the Lake Tahoe and Reno area will be featured as background for the movie.
