In the first look at the adaptation of Daniel Kraus&#8217; 2023 novel, Abrams&#8217; dive into the Pacific Ocean goes about as badly as it can, considering he&#8217;s attacked by a giant squid, only to then be eaten by a giant whale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Well, thankfully, his character&#8217;s father (Brolin) opens the trailer by declaring, &#8220;I can teach you things. I&#8217;m going to give you all the tools.&#8221; Who knows what tools you need for this type of occasion, but any and all will be appreciated!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Directed by <em>Underwater<\/em> writer Brian Duffield, <em>Whalefall<\/em> stars Abrams as Jay Gardiner, who goes diving off the central coast of California in search of his dad&#8217;s remains. Once swallowed by a sperm whale, he&#8217;s left with just one hour of oxygen in his tank. Under these dire circumstances, he realized that his father&#8217;s hard-earned lessons might finally pay off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Whalefall<\/em>&#8216;s cast also includes Elisabeth Shue (<em>The Boys<\/em>), John Ortiz (<em>Fast &amp; Furious<\/em>), Jane Levy (<em>Evil Dead<\/em>), and Emily Rudd (<em>Fear Street<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our <\/em><\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/ew-dispatch-newsletter-11812417\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:EW Dispatch newsletter;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;EW Dispatch newsletter&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><strong><em>EW Dispatch newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This marks the third collaboration between Abrams and Brolin.
