Murder! Sex! Rain! The Official ‘Deep Water’ Trailer Has It All

Deep Water, starring Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas premieres on Hulu on March 18. The film is the latest erotic thriller from director Adrian Lyne, whose past films include Fatal Attraction, Indecent Proposal, and 9 1/2 Weeks. While we’ve gotten a tease of the film already, the official trailer was just released today and offers an extended look at the film about a couple whose infidelities lead to murder.

Affleck and De Armas play Melinda and Vic Van Allen, a couple whose marriage only exists because Vic allows Melinda to cheat on him. Still, he loves her, despite the fact that she flaunts her affairs in his face. And judging from all the close-ups on Affleck’s face in the trailer (as he spies on Melinda from house windows and car windows and other kinds of windows), the cuckolding torments him to a dangerous degree. When a body shows up in the pool, things really get wild. The film is based on the book by Patricia Highsmith, whose other works have been turned into films like The Talented Mr. Ripley, Carol, and Strangers On A Train.

The movie, which was filmed at the end of 2019, led to everyone’s favorite pandemic distraction, Affleck and De Armas’s brief relationship, which I like to think had to die so that Bennifer 2.0 could live. With this trailer and the film’s imminent release nearly upon us, we’re finally able to get a good look at Affleck and De Armas’s on-screen chemistry.
