As a seasoned cinephile who has traversed the labyrinth of cinema for decades, I must say that Scott Derrickson’s latest offering, “The Gorge,” leaves me utterly enthralled and intrigued. With a stellar cast led by Anya Taylor-Joy, Miles Teller, and Sigourney Weaver, this film promises to be a genre-defying masterpiece that will undoubtedly leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
Scott Derrickson’s upcoming movie titled “The Gorge” gets a pulse-pounding refresh as first-glimpse snapshots are unveiled. One image showcases “The Menu” actress Anya Taylor-Joy wielding an ax, seemingly under attack from unidentified adversaries. Known for chilling audiences with films like “The Black Phone” and “Sinister“, Derrickson is venturing into new territory with “The Gorge“, blending genres in an enticing mix, encompassing science fiction, action, and even a hint of romance.
The 2025 Thriller – A joint production with Skydance and Apple Original Films – has cast Anya Taylor-Joy alongside Miles Teller from Top Gun: Maverick, as well as the legendary Sigourney Weaver. Earlier today, Vanity Fair provided a glimpse of this upcoming film (see below) and shared a brief synopsis, which hints at a mix of spy and survival horror genres titled The Gorge. The summary reveals that Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy portray elite snipers – one American and the other Lithuanian – who are stationed in watchtowers on opposite sides of an enormous, top-secret gorge situated in a distant land whose location they aren’t even permitted to know. Their objective? To shield the world from an unspecified, ominous threat that lurks within.
Despite some images from the film’s poster and set being shared, they don’t provide much insight into the enigmatic plotline of The Gorge, or its concealed, ominous danger. The poster portrays a watchtower standing behind a solitary, reptilian-esque hand, while the photos mainly highlight the heart-pounding excitement that viewers can anticipate from The Gorge. For instance, when discussing the picture of Anya Taylor-Joy standing on a corroded platform with an ax in her hand, Derrickson clarified: “We had a WWII Jeep positioned up the side of a rocky cliff while under attack.
Derrickson’s Other Films May Hold Clues About What’s In Store for ‘The Gorge’
Scott Derrickson, known for his work in the horror genre, has directed films like “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” in 2005 and “The Black Phone” in 2021. His upcoming film, “The Gorge”, which is a sci-fi action thriller with hints of romance, seems to be a departure from the norm. However, it might end up showing similarities to his previous work. In an earlier statement about the movie (via ScreenRant), Derrickson mentioned that the aim was to put “Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller into survival mode amidst the constant and unpredictable perils and mysteries of the gorge itself.
In my perspective, The Gorge seems to suggest a battle for existence, mirroring the main character’s struggle against the grim fate that The Grabber’s past victims have faced in The Black Phone. Just like Scott Derrickson skillfully intertwines real-world action and horror with supernatural elements in The Black Phone, it’s plausible that The Gorge might feature a single supernatural entity as its only otherworldly element.
As a movie enthusiast, I firmly believe that Anya Taylor-Joy is an ideal pick for the role in “The Gorge”. Her versatility in tackling various genres is truly remarkable. She showcased her action prowess in “Mad Max: Furiosa” and sent shivers down our spines with her haunting performance in “The Witch”. No matter what unexpected genre twists “The Gorge” may hold, I am confident that she’s got the skills to pull it off.
