To the second chances!

Summary:

  • Underwater is a sci-fi movie starring Kristen Stewart.
  • The movie was a box office disaster, but recently became popular after its release on Netflix.
  • After the wave of new fame, there's a chance that the movie will eventually get its sequel.

Streaming platforms offer a wide variety of movies for fans of almost every genre. Want a rom-com? Sure, you want an old gem or the latest movie? Or maybe you are a horror fan? Here you go, a huge list of anything is there for you.

Science fiction fans can also breathe a sigh of relief, because there's plenty to choose from for them, too. And why not give a former flop that has recently gained popularity among audiences a chance?

We are talking about the 2020 movie Underwater, starring Kristen Stewart as the main character, a mechanical engineer who, along with her colleagues, is trapped under the ocean in a drilling company.

The characters now have to face all the dangers that their position brings them, suffering from a catastrophic massive earthquake, which forces them to find a way to leave the station and find a new place to stay. What happens to make the mission almost impossible are the deadly sea creatures that surround them.

Unfortunately, the film was not a commercial success. With a budget of $50-80 million, it only made $40 million. So even thinking about making a sequel felt wrong at the time.

However, the director of the movie, William Eubank, now that it has become one of the most watched movies on Netflix, is teasing the audience with the idea of creating another movie to continue the exciting story.

As he said in the interview with ComicBook.com, there are still so many ways to continue the story that the audience is just not aware of it. However, there's a chance that the original cast may politely decline the offer to star in the new movie.

The reason is the underwater filming: as Stewart recalls, it was very scary, and not in a fun way, but a totally terrifying experience.

If you want to help the sequel to turn into reality, watch Underwater right now. The movie is available to stream on Netflix and Hulu.
