Scott Derricksonfans have been given a lot of reasons to be thankful lately. TheDoctor Strangehelmer recently gave an incredibly promising update surroundinghis highly-anticipatedThe Black Phonesequeland today followers are getting their first look at his upcoming dive into action. Celebrating its grand debut at this weekend’s CCXP Brazil, the trailer for Derrickson’s survival thriller,The Gorge, sashayed onto center stage alongside its leading stars,Miles TellerandAnya Taylor-Joy. While the main draw - casting wise - behind the high-octane flick may be theTop Gun: MaverickandFuriosa: A Mad Max Sagaalums, the teaser also brought another incredibly on-point genre legend back into our sights with a few close-ups of the one, the only,Sigourney Weaver(theAlienfranchise). With all the top-tier performers mixed with a screenplay byZach Dean(Fast X) and the vision of Derrickson,The Gorgeis shaping up to be Apple Original Films’ latest soaring hit.
Stepping back into her badassery, Taylor-Joy returns to the realm of action inThe Gorgeas Drasa, a highly feared and sought-after assassin. Target after target, Drasa always completes her hits, but now she’s being sent to an undisclosed location for a very unique mission. Likewise, Teller’s Levi is known as an elite sniper in the U.S. military, making him the perfect choice to post up in the west tower for the next year, from where he first spots Drasa, who is across the gorge keeping watch from the east tower. There’s just one catch - they’re not allowed to communicate. As the rest of the first-look plays on, we seethe pair quickly pushing the boundariesof what “communication” means to them, as they begin to form a bond over not only their work assignments but the truth about what looms beneath their feet inThe Gorge.
Off-Screen Friendship Makes For the Best On-Screen Pairing
Earlier this year, while on the press tour for her work as the titular character inFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga, Taylor-Joy opened up about one of the main reasonsshe was eager to join the castofThe Gorge. Sharing how things came together, Joy said,“Oh, I was really excited to work with Miles [Teller]. We’re all good friends, but we’ve been wanting to work together for a really long time.”Beyond leaning into the opportunity to go to work with a close friend,The Menustar was also stoked about what the movie’s genre offered her in terms of something different, adding, “I think I was intrigued by the fact that it was semi genre-less in the sense that it was both a love story and an action movie.So, I was excited about that.”
