A trailer has been released for the film adaptation of Daniel Kraus's 2023 novel Whalefall. Entertainment Weekly reported that Austin Abrams plays a man "who goes diving off the central coast of California in search of his dad's remains. Once swallowed by a sperm whale, he's left with just one hour of oxygen in his tank. Under these dire circumstances, he realized that his father's hard-earned lessons might finally pay off." The movie opens October 16.
Directed by Underwater writer Brian Duffield, Whalefall teams Abrams with Josh Brolin. The two headlined last year's Oscar-winner Weapons. The cast also includes Elisabeth Shue (The Boys), John Ortiz (Fast & Furious), Jane Levy (Evil Dead), and Emily Rudd (Fear Street).
