Article Summary

  • Early reactions for Whalefall are arriving, with buzz building around Austin Abrams and the film’s survival thriller premise.
  • A new official Whalefall clip previews a key father-son moment and hints at the whale anatomy that will shape the story.
  • 20th Century also unveiled a Whalefall popcorn bucket, featuring the whale design and tying into the film’s theatrical push.
  • Whalefall opens exclusively in theaters on October 16, as Brian Duffield’s adaptation continues to gain momentum.

The early reactions for Whalefall are coming in, and it sounds like we're heading into month two of Austin Abrams Is Having A Terrible Time In Really Good Movies. We love that for him [but maybe not the characters he's playing]. With Resident Evil continuing to dominate the box office and Abrams becoming a bigger and bigger star as the weeks go on, we got some new footage from the upcoming film. This time, it's not within the whale itself as we see Jay and his dad talk about a specific piece of anatomy on a sperm whale because this film is going to have all the foreshadowing of a 2×4 to the face. We also got a look at the popcorn bucket because they're just getting more and more ridiculous as time goes on. The cooler for Resident Evil was a good idea; this whale with a tiny Abrams hanging off the side is a little less practical. I'd probably use the cooler as a purse, and considering the fanbase for that movie seems to be gaining more and more women every week, we're going to see the Resident Evil cooler with the whale bucket sitting inside of it before the end of the month. What a time to be alive.
