The Survival Thriller Last Breath Gets an Official Trailer and 2025 Release

Focus Features is officially set to release the highly anticipated survival thriller Last Breath in theaters nationwide on Friday, February 28th, 2025.

Helmed by filmmaker Alex Parkinson, and starring Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, Finn Cole, and Cliff Curtis, the film is based on a true story following seasoned deep-sea divers as they battle the raging elements to rescue their crewmate trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface.

More specifically, Last Breath is a narrative remake of the 2019 documentary directed by Parkinson and Richard da Costa. The documentary told the harrowing true story of a commercial diver who became untethered while diving 100 meters under the North Sea, with only five minutes of oxygen left. The divers' desperate rescue attempt showcased the dangers and challenges of working in the deep sea.

The film’s screenplay was crafted by Mitchell LaFortune, Alex Parkinson, and David Brooks, with Brooks also serving as a producer alongside Paul Brooks, Hal Sadoff, Norman Golightly, Jeremy Plager, Stewart le Maréchal, Al Morrow, and Anna Mohr-Pietsch.

The film's first trailer, which recently dropped, gives audiences a glimpse into the intense and gripping nature of the story. Harrelson plays Duncan Allcock, while Liu takes on the role of David Yuasa. Cole portrays the trapped diver, Chris Lemons, and Curtis plays Mike Adamson.

Given its creative team and stacked cast, Last Breath promises to be a heart-pounding cinematic experience that highlights the strength of the human spirit and the incredible lengths people will go to save a life.
