Adrian Lyne, the director of Fatal Attraction and the original Jacob’s Ladder, is directing his first film since 2002’s Unfaithful with Deep Water, an erotic thriller that recently landed Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck as its stars. Deadline reports the latest casting news today, announcing that Lil Rel Howery (Get Out, above) and more have come on board.
Tracy Letts (Lady Bird), Rachel Blanchard (Fargo), Dash Mihok (Ray Donovan), Jacob Elordi (The Kissing Booth), Kristen Connolly (House Of Cards), and Jade Fernandez (Little) also star.
“Affleck and de Armas play Vic and Melinda Van Allen, an attractive young married couple whose mind games with each other take a twisted turn when people around them start turning up dead. 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.”
Filming is now underway.
The film is based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel, adapted by Zack Helm (Stranger Than Fiction) and Sam Levinson (Euphoria).
