Leslie Grace to Lead Survival Thriller PROPEL as Diver Swallowed by a Giant Sperm Whale — GeekTyrant
The film is being described as Gravity meets 127 Hours … but underwater and in a whale. If that visual alone doesn't pique your curiosity, the synopsis might:
' Propel will see Grace star as Kate Acosta, a commercial diver who is swallowed by a giant sperm whale during a routine commercial dive. Trapped in a living prison and gasping for air, Kate must confront both real-life monsters of the deep and her inner demons as a desperate fight for survival and salvation unfolds.'
The film is written by Jeremy Marwick and inspired by true events. It's being directed by Felipe Vargas, who previously helmed Rosario , and is aiming for that gripping survival-space of storytelling where it's one human versus the impossible, except this time the impossible is warm, wet, and alive.
Altitude will handle international sales and is presenting the project at Cannes as a 'pulse-pounding elemental thriller that will leave you breathless.'
Grace has already proven she can command the screen with charisma and emotional depth, now she gets to test those chops in a a wild and crazy survival story set inside the belly of a whale.

Cokeburg man wins big again in vegetable growing contests at Washington County fair
A man from Cokeburg has won big again in several vegetable growing contests at the Washington County fair. Last year, Justin Lint won several awards at the Washington County Fair for his massive vegetables that he and his wife Michelle grew -- and this year, it was more of the same. Lint says he entered seven categories this year and won first place in all of them. With his watermelon, onion, green tomato, red tomato, pepper, carrot, and eggplant, Lint swept first place awards with all of his entries this year. The watermelon Lint entered and won first place for this year weighed in at a staggering 95.3 pounds. Lint says he initially wasn't even going to enter any of his vegetables, but decided last minute he would give it a chance, adding that he had fun at the fair over the weekend while talking with people about growing giant produce. Inspired by his grandfather, Justin started experimenting with mega vegetables and he says his secret is that it's all in the soil.
