Over twenty years on from their first collaboration on Requiem for a Dream, director Darren Aronofsky and actor Jared Leto are set to reunite on Adrift, an aquatic thriller which is based on a short story by Koji Suzuki (The Ring).
The film takes place in the open sea, “where a fishing boat discovers an abandoned yacht with a strange distress call. A deckhand agrees to take lone control of it while it’s towed into port, but soon he discovers why the rest of his more experienced crew members call it a ‘Ghost Ship'”.
Leto is said to have pursued the rights to the project for ten years and brought the project to Aronofsky and producer Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions. All three will produce, while Aronofsky is set to write the script with Luke Dawson.

As yet, there’s no word on a schedule for Adrift, as Aronofsky is gearing up to shoot The Whale, which has Brendan Fraser set to star. Leto meanwhile has recently shot new scenes as The Joker for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which premieres on HBO Max in March, and is preparing for more reshoots on Sony’s delayed Marvel movie Morbius.
