Whalefall: New Official Trailer, Poster, And Four New Images

20th Century has released the official trailer for Whalefall and has collectively decided we all needed some new nightmare fuel on a Wednesday. Love that for us.

Who wants some nightmare fuel on a Wednesday? Apparently, 20th Century Studios thinks we do. While sitting in the Friday Showcase during D23, I wondered if they were going to show anything from Whalefall because that would have been one hell of a way to shift the entire tone of the room, but they didn't do that, because Disney didn't want to traumatize a bunch of their younger fans. What a bunch of killjoys. They did decide that more footage is the way to go for this film and have dropped another trailer.

Brian Duffield (director/co-writer/producer): "To bring Daniel Kraus' book to life, our cast and crew spent a summer inside a whale inside a sound stage in Studio City, California. I can't wait for audiences to see the performances and hard work everyone put in to tell this thrilling and emotional story in a dark, cozy theater this October."

This writer hasn't watched it, though. I saw that clip at CinemaCon and that teaser; I'm already locked into the nightmares this film is going to give me, and the entire concept very much seems like one that could benefit from knowing as little as possible. There is a reason that clip from April is still so haunting; they basically dropped it on us cold turkey and walked away like it was no big deal. So if you're on the fence about Whalefall, here's the official trailer along with a poster and some images. If you're already sold on this film, maybe wait for it to come out in October.
