Some marriages breed disaster.

Based on the novel of the same name by beloved writer Patricia Highsmith, Deep Water is an erotic psychological thriller that marks director Adrian Lyne’s return to the genre and filmmaking after 20 years.

Lyne is best known for his films Fatal Attraction, Indecent Proposal and Unfaithful.

Deep Water explores a suburban couple who end up in a tangled web of secrets, sex and violence.

The script for the new film about a twisted marriage that turns deadly comes from Stranger Than Fiction writer Zach Helm and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson.

The film pairs together Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas and was filmed prior to their real-life romance which ended in early 2021.

So, when can film fans expect this steamy thriller to hit their screens?
