Upcoming survival thriller follows a man swallowed whole by a sperm whale
Here's an interesting premise for a survival film: getting swallowed by a whale and fighting to escape alive. That's what the upcoming movie Whalefall is about, based on the 2023 novel of the same name by Daniel Kraus, an author who has collaborated with Guillermo del Toro and George A. Romero.
Deadline reports that the lead role in Whalefall has gone to actor Austin Abrams. Abrams has previously starred in teen-centric projects like Do Revenge, Euphoria, Dash & Lily, and Paper Towns, but he's been branching out and becoming increasingly popular in recent years. In 2024, Abrams starred in Wolfs, an action comedy starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt. He will also star in the upcoming horror film Weapons from Barbarian director Zach Cregger. Abrams landed the part in Whalefall after an extensive auditioning process.
The outlet reports that Brian Duffield (No One Will Save You) will direct the film and co-write the script with Kraus.
