Australia's The Herald Sun is reporting that Xavier Samuel ("Riley" in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) has scored a new film role in a 3-D thriller entitled Bait.
"[T]he estimated $20 million thriller . . . is about a tsunami that hits a seaside town, trapping local shoppers and tourists in a flooded underground shopping centre with a pack of hungry sharks," reports The Herald Sun.
Bait will co-star Step Up: 3D star Sharni Vinson, and it will be filmed in Queenland's Gold Coast.
This won't be the first time Samuel has worked with water (in Eclipse, Drowning, and Newcastle, for instance), nor is it the first thriller he'll have been in (The Loved Ones, Road Kill).
His film Anonymous (which co-stars The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Jamie Campbell Bower) has a release date of ...

Did you know that some of the The Twilight Saga: Eclipse auditions for the part of "Riley Biers" took place in Australia? Well, now you do! In this brand new interview with Eclipse star Xavier Samuel (The Loved Ones, Road Train, Drowning), who ended up getting the part, Samuel explains that his first audition for the role of Riley took place in Sydney, Australia. "Just did an audition here in Sydney . . . the audition kind of came along, and then I put it down on tape, sent it over, and then flew to Vancouver and it was kind of happening before I knew it," he explained. "There's a lot of hysteria surrounding [the Twilight series]." Samuel went on to explain that there were a lot of fans that surrounded the film set, noting that "they're very patient."
