Simply once you thought it was secure to get again within the water, Josh Brolin is in talks to star reverse Austin Abrams (Wolfs) within the Brian Duffield-directed (No One Will Save You, Cocaine Bear, Spontaneous) adaptation of the Daniel Krauss novel Whalefall.
Described as The Martian meets 127 Hours, the scientifically correct story focuses on a scuba diver looking for his deceased father’s stays, solely to get swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale with just one hour to flee earlier than oxygen runs out. Whereas struggling to outlive, the younger diver discovers a brand new cause to reside in essentially the most unlikely place.
Right here’s a synopsis for Krauss’s novel courtesy of Amazon:

The dive begins properly sufficient, however the sudden look of an enormous squid places Jay in very actual jeopardy, made infinitely worse by the arrival of a sperm whale seeking to feed. All of a sudden, Jay is caught within the squid’s tentacles and drawn into the whale’s mouth the place he’s pulled into the primary of its 4 stomachs. He shortly realizes he has just one hour earlier than his oxygen tanks run out—one hour to defeat his demons and escape the stomach of a whale.
