Kristen Stewart Faces Deep-Sea Monsters Head On In Underwater Trailer

The official trailer for the upcoming action-thriller Underwater is here, and it's just about as terrifying as a underwater film can get. With Kristen Stewart at the forefront, the movie follows a crew of researchers as they "scramble to safety right after an earthquake devastates their subterranean laboratory." With each other, they attempt to escape danger by trekking across the bottom of the ocean, facing several challenges in the process — from a shortage of oxygen to mysterious, deep-sea monsters.


In a recent interview with EW, Stewart opened up about what it is that makes the movie so horrifying. "It's a really dark, scary meditation on isolation," she mentioned. "Basically, it's like a survival movie about a bunch of people that don't know each other, and the peculiar, occasionally existential conversations that ensue, and the weird relationships being formed really speedily. The underlying story of [disrupting] something that really should be left in its organic state, and what you could unearth — that's what keeps it scary."


Stewart also mentioned the movie was especially complicated to film, describing it as "really long and just drippy and cold and fucking hard."  However yet still, she couldn't be more excited for its release, saying she hasn't "made a movie of this scale maybe ever." And while several fans have been rather anticipating the release of Charlie's Angels this coming November, which is another one of Stewart's upcoming assignments, it definitely sounds like Underwater pushed the star to new limits. "I think none of us in movie — with the exception of maybe Vincent [Cassel], who's, like, a fucking wild banshee — really knew what we were getting ourselves into," she said.


In addition to Stewart, the film — directed by Will Eubank — also stars Vincent Cassel, John Gallagher Jr., Jessica Henwick, Mamoudou Athie, and T.J. Miller. It was shot in early 2017, prior to Miller's fake bomb threat arrest and sexual assault allegations. The movie is currently set for release on January 10, 2020, so prepare yourself for what's sure to be a stress-inducing deep-sea adventure.
