Ahead of its release in theaters on May 1st, the disaster thriller Deep Water will preview in Dallas at the 2026 USA Film Festival.
Director Renny Harlin and producer Gene Simmons will be on hand to present the film on Friday, April 24th, 2026.
In the film starring Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley, Molly Belle Wright, Angus Sampson, Kelly Gale, and Li Wenhan, a flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai goes down in the middle of the Pacific. After surviving the crash, the survivors soon discover they’re not alone, and they must survive the shark-infested waters.
“We are honored to welcome two of our favorite artists, Renny Harlin and Gene Simmons, to our stage to present their new film,” said USAFF Managing Director Ann Alexander, “which should especially delight our audiences who have aerophobia, thalassophobia, and galeophobia.”
Alexander added, “As Hollywood continues to contract, with audiences spending less time in theaters, Renny Harlin and Gene Simmons have given us a heart-pounding action film with Deep Water that not only plays on our universal fears, but also speaks to our common, human desire to root for the imperiled and stranded. A movie experience that is, of course, best enjoyed on the big screen in a theater full of fellow humans!”
Deep Water is written by Pete Bridges and John Kim, and produced by Gene Simmons, Ying Ye, Neal Kingston, Grant Bradley, Dale Bradley, Adrián Guerra, Xavier Parache, and Bob Yari.
The 56th Annual USA Film Festival runs April 22-26, 2026, at the Angelika Film Center Dallas.
