Shailene Woodley Fights For Survival In Exclusive Adrift Trailer
What lengths would you go to survive? In
Adrift, Tami (
Shailene Woodley) and Richard's (
Sam Claflin) romantic sea adventure turns catastrophic whenever a Category 5 hurricane devastates the young couple's yacht, leaving them stranded in the middle of the ocean with Richard on the brink of death. It's up Tami to repair the boat and traverse the seas to safety before they run out of time.
So, yeah, this movie isn't for the faint of heart — or for people terrified of boats, water, and/or chapped lips.
The dramatic new trailer for Baltasar Kormákur's
Adrift, premiering exclusively on MTV News, puts Tami's harrowing survival story at the forefront.
Based on the real-life Tami Oldham Ashcraft's memoir,
Red Sky in Mourning: The True Story of a Woman's Courage and Survival at Sea,
Adrift is part romantic drama, part survivalist tale. Though, from the looks of the trailer, it does appear to stray a little from its powerful source material; Ashcraft's fiancé, Richard Sharp, died at sea, having been ripped from the deck of the ship throughout the hurricane, and his body was never noticed. Ashcraft survived 41 days at sea alone.
As to whether
Adift plans to go that devastating route — soon considering that, Richard does forewarn Tami of the "hallucinations — we'll have to wait and visualize.
Adrift
arrives in theaters on June 1.
