Leslie Grace to Lead Survival Thriller PROPEL as Diver Swallowed by a Giant Sperm Whale — GeekTyrant
After her breakout in In the Heights and the high-profile shelving of Batgirl , Leslie Grace is diving into a whole new kind of challenge, as she will play a diver swallowed whole by a giant sperm whale in the upcoming survival thriller Propel . 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.

How the ocean has changed in David Attenborough's 99 years (it's not all bad)
In 2007 a group of Inuit hunters pulled an old harpoon out of a bow head whale they had caught. The harpoon looked strange, so they passed it to experts who dated it to about 1890. For a bow head whale 120 is not that great an age. They can live to 200. The point of the story, and of this book, is that the whale would have lived through extraordinary environmental change. David Attenborough, who is merely 99, has also lived through extraordinary environmental change. This book tells the story of the oceans in one lifetime and what science has discovered in that period. Co-written with the nature documentary maker Colin Butfield, it stands alongside their documentary Ocean, which had its premiere this
