Remember Pinocchio getting swallowed by a whale? Turns out, that was the easy version.
The official trailer for Whalefall has arrived, and it could be about to give anyone who already finds the ocean a little terrifying a brand new reason to stay on dry land.
Yep, He Gets Swallowed By A Whale
The movie follows Jay Gardiner, played by Austin Abrams, who dives off the coast of California searching for the remains of his late father.
Things go very, very wrong when Jay is swallowed by an enormous sperm whale.
And this isn’t your average whale encounter.
Jay finds himself trapped inside the whale with just one hour of oxygen left. His only option is to somehow find a way out before his tank runs dry.
The trailer shows Jay battling the terrifying conditions inside the whale while also dealing with the emotional weight of his father’s death.
So, basically, it’s a survival movie, a family drama and a giant underwater nightmare all rolled into one.
From Bestseller To Big Screen
Whalefall is based on Daniel Kraus’ bestselling 2023 novel and is directed by Brian Duffield, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Kraus.
The cast includes Austin Abrams, Josh Brolin, Elisabeth Shue, Jane Levy, John Ortiz and Emily Rudd.
The movie is heading exclusively to cinemas in October, with the Australian release currently listed for October 15.
And after watching that trailer, there is one question we need answered…
Would you still go swimming in the ocean after watching this?
