20 Upcoming Movies With UTTERLY INSANE Plots
16. Deep Water
Deep Water release date: May 1, 2026.
No, Deep Water isn't an expedited remake of the 2022 erotic thriller starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas of the same name - it's a new disaster horror film with a hilariously extra premise.
Plane crash movies and shark movies are a dime a dozen, but what about a film that combines the two?
That's the plot of Deep Water, where a plane en route from Los Angeles to Shanghai makes an emergency water landing... in shark-infested waters.
The passengers must then work together in the hope of surviving the pack of sharks drawn to the wreck.
What's especially funny about all this is that Deep Water is being directed by Renny Harlin, who has previously directed films about both imperilled aircraft (Die Hard 2: Die Harder) and hungry sharks (Deep Blue Sea).
Though Harlin's best days as a filmmaker are long behind him and star Aaron Eckhart hardly represents a seal of quality these days, if it strikes the right tone this could be an amusingly schlocky two-for-one special.
