You ’re a movie executive . A writer walks into your office and says two word . Those give-and-take are “ underwater Armageddon . ” How fast do you write the check ? instant ? Seconds ? Less ?
It likely was n’t that tight , but that ’s the description going around of an upcoming movie call Underwater , co - save and directed by Will Eubank . farm by 20th Century Fox , the film just direct a major step forward by entering final negotiations with Kristen Stewart to star as the atomic number 82 .
Which , yeah , that ’s the news program . Stewart is a large headliner with a huge fan base and she has n’t made a mainstream movie in awhile . But we ’re stuck on the premise of this motion picture . According to The Hollywood Reporter : “ Underwater centers on an underwater scientific gang that , after front an temblor , are force to go on a serious journeying for survival . ” Which sound like Armageddon , right ? There ’s no meteor this fourth dimension , for sure , but the grave journeying for endurance in mortal conditions sure feels familiar .
If Underwater actually ends up being as bonkers as Armageddon is another inquiry , though . Stewart is n’t one to signal on to just any stupid Zea mays everta pic these years , plus Eubank ’s last motion picture , The Signal , was a pretty heady scifi film . The fact these two are involved heavily suggests a film on the scale leaf of Armageddon likely is n’t in the cards . We can make bold to dream , though , right ?
Fox is hop-skip that Underwater starts production next month in New Orleans .
