Austin Abrams gets swallowed by whale in 'Whalefall'
- On Tuesday, 20th Century Studios released the official trailer for Whalefall, an adventure thriller starring Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin, with the film hitting theaters on October 16.
- Directed by Brian Duffield and based on Daniel Kraus's 2023 novel, the film follows Jay Gardiner searching for his father's remains before being swallowed by an 80-foot, 60-ton sperm whale.
- Described as The Martian meets 127 Hours, the production utilized intricate sets at Radford Studios to simulate the whale's stomach. The film will be shown in 4DX, featuring motion-enabled chairs and sensations.
- Disney's 20th Century Studios strategically released the trailer to showcase the film's intense opening 15 minutes. "Yeah, let's show them how our movie kicks off and let them wonder where we could go from there," Duffield says.
- The project marks the third collaboration between Abrams and Brolin. With upcoming roles in Zach Cregger's Weapons and Resident Evil, Abrams may emerge as a major movie star by October's release.
