Dan Doperalski for Variety Turns out that it’s tough to shoot in a whale’s stomach.
“Whalefall” director Brian Duffield is gleefully outlining some of the biggest hurdles while shooting his new movie. The premise for the film, in theaters now via 20th Century Studios, is simple: A young diver named Jay (Austin Abrams) is accidentally swallowed by a whale, ends up in its stomach and must escape before his tank of oxygen runs out. It’s a lean idea, but required an innovative and energetic leader like Duffield to get the claustrophobic shots done on practical sets.
