Deep Water Trailer: Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas Lead Thriller Drama

20th Century Studios has dropped the full Deep Water trailer for its upcoming psychological thriller, which will be available for streaming on March 18, exclusively on Hulu.

The video, which you can check out below along with a new key art poster, introduces Ben Affleck’s Vic Van Allen and Ana de Armas’ Melinda Van Allen, whose marriage is a bit different from the others as Vic and Melinda engage in an open relationship. However, it can be seen in the trailer that despite their unusual arrangement, Vic still seemingly gets jealous due to Melinda’s explicitly showing off her different affairs.

Garrett Basch and Steven Zaillian are executive producing the film along with Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady, Anthony Katagas, and Ben Forkner. Arnon Milchon is serving as a producer.

Lyne last directed the 2002 drama Unfaithful, starring Diane Lane and Richard Gere, and made a reputation with steamy erotic films such as Indecent Proposal, Fatal Attraction, and 9 1/2 Weeks.

Deep Water is directed by Fatal Attraction filmmaker Adrian Lyne from a script co-written by Zack Helm (Stranger Than Fiction) and Sam Levinson (Euphoria), based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1957 novel of the same name. It stars Ben Affleck, Ana de Armas, Lil Rel Howery, Jacob Elordi, Finn Wittrock, Rachel Blanchard, Tracy Letts, Kristen Connolly, and Dash Mihok.

“The film centers on Vic and Melinda Van Allen, who are an attractive married couple whose mind games with each other take a twisted turn when people around them start turning up dead,” reads the synopsis. “The couple staves off divorce in a loveless marriage by allowing each to take lovers, but it becomes messy as Highsmith exposed the surface facade of American suburban life.”
