'Survivors Survive!': Latest Trailer Drops for Survival Thriller 'Whalefall' Starring Austin Abrams
Austin Abrams plays a diver with one hour of oxygen as the adaptation turns Daniel Kraus’s novel into a contained survival thriller.
- On Thursday, 20th Century Studios released a new trailer for the survival thriller Whalefall, featuring actor Austin Abrams trapped inside an 80-foot, 60-ton sperm whale with only an hour of oxygen remaining.
- Directed by Brian Duffield, the film adapts Daniel Kraus's 2023 novel, centering on character Jay Gardiner's search for his deceased father's remains off California's Central Coast before he is swallowed by the creature.
- Josh Brolin plays Jay's late father, Mitt, whose voice haunts flashbacks with wisdom like "Remember: survivors survive," while director Duffield estimates the film is "roughly 95% Austin Abrams."
- Described as The Martian meets 127 Hours, the aquatic thriller arrives exclusively in theaters on October 16, 2026, placing the scuba diver in a desperate race against time within the whale.
- Opening September 18, Resident Evil features Abrams in another survival role directed by filmmaker Zach Cregger, positioning him for a demanding autumn before Whalefall's October debut.
