Armed with one of the wildest premises in recent years, Daniel Kraus’ novel Whalefall is being turned into a big screen experience that’s filming now, and it’s now been dated for release.
Whalefall will take you INSIDE OF A WHALE in theaters on October 16, 2026.
Brian Duffield (No One Will Save You) directs 20th Century Studios’ upcoming aquatic survival thriller from a script he co-wrote with Daniel Kraus, based on Kraus’ 2023 novel.
The novel centers on a 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 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.
Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin star with Elisabeth Shue (“The Boys”), Jane Levy (Evil Dead), John Ortiz (Kong: Skull Island), and Emily Rudd (Fear Street Part Two: 1978).
The film is described as “The Martian meets 127 Hours.”
Meagan Navarro called Whalefall one of the best horror books of 2023. She raves, “Kraus’ brisk-paced novel toggles between survival horror and an internal journey through grief in the most propulsive way possible. It results in the most pulse-pounding, fast read of the year.”
