The film’s release was postponed twice, but is now set to stream on Prime Video from March 18th.
Deep Water follows Vic and Melinda Van Allen, a wealthy couple going to some steep lengths to keep their rocky marriage together. When the men involved in Melinda’s entanglements start going missing, the pair’s mutual resentment and mind games escalate in the deadliest of ways.
Directed by Fatal Attraction’s Adrian Lyne, Deep Water is full of stars. The screenplay’s written by Zach Helm and Sam ‘Euphoria’ Levinson, and the cast includes Jacob Elordi, Rachel Blanchard, and Lil Rel Howery, to name a few.
This is Adrian Lyne’s first directorial film in 20 years, and dark twisted relationships are kind of his forte – he’s also behind Indecent Proposal. The story’s adapted from the novel Deep Water, written by Patricia Highsmith, the author that spawned the stories of Strangers on a Train and Carol. If those credentials are anything to go by, Deep Water will be well worth the wait.
