What’s Happening:

Deadline reports that the Thanos actor is in negotiations to join 20th Century Studios’ adaptation of Whalefall, set to be directed by Brian Duffield.
Described as The Martian meets 127 Hours, Whalefall is about a scuba diver in search of his deceased father’s remains who gets swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out. After giving up on life, the young man is surprised to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.

Whalefall will also star Austin Abrams, who has previously had roles in TV projects such as Euphoria and The Walking Dead.

Novel author Kraus will co-write, with Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody and Allan Mandelbaum to produce for Imagine Entertainment, alongside Duffield.
