A new trailer for “Whalefall” shows Austin Abrams as a scuba diver swallowed by an 80-foot, 60-ton sperm whale, with one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out.
The film follows his search for his deceased father’s remains before the whale attack turns the story into a survival fight that also becomes a reason to keep living.
Josh Brolin, Elisabeth Shue and Abrams star in the Brian Duffield-directed adaptation of Daniel Kraus’s novel.
“Whalefall” is set for theatrical release on Oct. 16, 2026, with the trailer already drawing attention for its outlandish premise.
