I'm highly intrigued by the upcoming film DEEP WATER, which marks JACOB'S LADDER director Adrian Lyne's return to filmmaking after a seventeen year hiatus. It's also his return to a genre he has a lot of experience working in: the man who made FATAL ATTRACTION is now making another erotic thriller.
And it must be quite thrilling, as our friends over at Bloody-Disgusting have reported that it's scheduled to be released on a Friday the 13th. November 13, 2020 to be exact. So we have just under a year to wait for this one.
Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas star in DEEP WATER, which is based on a novel by The Talented Mr. Ripley author Patricia Highsmith (you can pick up a copy HERE). Their characters are
Vic and Melinda Van Allen, a small-town couple in a loveless marriage in which the wife is allowed to take lovers as long as she does not desert the family. However, complications arise when the husband takes credit for the unsolved murder of one of the former lovers.
Zach Helm and Sam Levinson wrote the screenplay for the adaptation, which also stars Lil Rel Howery, Kristen Connolly, Tracy Letts, Rachel Blanchard, Dash Mihok, Jacob Elordi, and Jade Fernandez.
New Regency is fully financing DEEP WATER. Arnon Milchan is producing alongside Garrett Basch, Steven Zaillian, Anthony Katagas, and Entertainment 360's Guymon Casady and Ben Forkner.
Speaking of 13ths, on the 13th of this month pictures from the set showed Affleck and de Armas filming scenes at a soccer field:
