Head Down into the Deep, Dark Depths With These Images from the ‘Alien’-esque ‘Underwater’
I think it’s so cool that 40 years later filmmakers are still inspired by Ridley Scott’s Alien. On that note, William Eubank, who directed the awesome sci-fi film The Signal, is back next year with 20th Century Fox’s Underwater (watch the trailer), a deep sea creature feature starring Kristen Stewart.
In the film, a crew of underwater researchers must scramble to safety after an earthquake devastates their subterranean laboratory. After digging, “something” has awakened.
From the set design to the look of the characters, all of the footage has screamed Alien. Now, Bloody Disgusting has unearthed a bunch of images that look straight out of the Nostromo, with Stewart acting as Underwater‘s very own Ripley (more so from David Fincher’s Alien3).
Underwater swims into theaters on January 10, 2020 and we can’t wait.

In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, and trapped in a rapidly flooding structure, a crew of six stationed on an underwater research facility realize their only shot at survival lies in walking across the ocean floor to a distant abandoned rig. In addition to the physical challenges of the journey they quickly discover they’re being hunted by mythic, monstrous sea predators hellbent on killing them.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
