Elisabeth Shue, Jane Levy, More Join Brian Duffield’s ‘Whalefall’ Adaptation

Elisabeth Shue (“The Boys”), Jane Levy (Evil Dead), John Ortiz (Kong: Skull Island), and Emily Rudd (Fear Street Part Two: 1978) are rounding out the cast of Whalefall, Deadline reports.

They join stars Austin Abrams (“The Walking Dead”) and Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame) in the aquatic survival thriller, described as “The Martian meets 127 Hours.”

Production is set to begin next week in Los Angeles, with Brian Duffield (No One Will Save You) directing from a script he co-wrote with Daniel Kraus, based on Kraus’ 2023 novel.

It centers on a scuba diver in search of his deceased father’s remains who gets swallowed by an 80-foot, 60-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out. After giving up on life, the young man is surprised to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.

Imagine Entertainment and 20th Century Studios are behind the project.
