A new BTS video for ‘Whalefall’ has been released, taking us in depth with Austin Abrams’ character and his horrific predicament.
A young man’s encounter with a massive sperm whale becomes a desperate fight for survival in Whalefall, arriving this October from 20th Century Studios and Imagine Entertainment. Now, we have a new BTS video that takes us into the depths of star Austin Abrams‘ (Resident Evil) character and his very unfortunate predicament.
My favorite part of the new video? Learning Abrams swam with sperm whales to prepare himself. Now that’s commitment.
Brian Duffield directs the adaptation of Daniel Kraus’ acclaimed novel, with Josh Brolin, Elisabeth Shue, John Ortiz, Jane Levy, and Emily Rudd rounding out the cast.
The film has been described as The Martian meets 127 Hours. Having read the book, that’s a pretty accurate description. It’s a terrifying descent into an alien world (a whale’s stomach, in this case), in which every breath feels like it could be the last.
With so much excellent talent involved, I can’t wait to dive into this one.
Whalefall swims into theaters on October 16, 2026.
