Whalefall is directed and produced by Brian Duffield and based on the 2023 novel by Daniel Kraus, who co-wrote the script with Duffield, writes Phil at Live for Films.

The odds of being swallowed alive by a whale are not zero.

Following the death of his father (Josh Brolin), Jay Gardiner (Austin Abrams) goes diving off the central Coast of California in search of his remains, but is swallowed by a massive sperm whale.

While trapped inside its belly with only one hour of oxygen left, Jay comes to realize that the hard-earned lessons his father imparted may be the key to his escape.

A tough one to swallow, Whalefall arrives on October 16th.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd.
