Stars: Anya Taylor-Joy, Miles Teller, Sigourney Weaver, Sope Dirisu | Written by Zach Dean | Directed by Scott Derrickson

Drasa is a sniper for hire and business has been good. At least until she finds out her identity has been compromised. Needing to drop out of site for a while she accepts a year-long assignment operating a watchtower overlooking a mysterious gorge that doesn’t exist on any maps.

Directly across from it is another tower, this one manned by Levi a former Marine sniper. He’s been recruited by Bartholomew who tells him its a chance for him to pull himself out of the bottle and get his life back together.

Why are the towers there? That has something to do with what’s in the gorge, creatures referred to as The Hollow Men, after a poem by T.S. Eliot. Nobody knows what they are, but they wiped out a force...

What do T.S. Eliot, Annihilation, and romantic undead tales have in common? Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge. A threatening brand of military meet-cute makes for any genre fan’s Valentine’s Day treat—more love stories should have feral creatures and desperate stakes. Derrickson’s vision for Zach Dean’s multifaceted screenplay brings supernatural desolation and warm smiles in equal scoops, although the two-hour-plus duration is challenging. It’s a film with lofty ambitions meant to excite, scare, and woo that succeeds across the board, but a balancing act that honors all intentions can feel wobbly.

Overlooking a mist-cloaked gorge are two concrete outposts—one Eastern, one Western—with only a single patrol personnel assigned for one-year rotations. Ex-Marine private contractor Levi (Miles Teller) and a Lithuanian sniper working for Russia named Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy) are the latest crew, taking their respective duties in opposite towers. The catch? They don’t know each other exists,...

What do you get when you throw sci-fi, romance, action, horror, and a touch of espionage into a blender and hit “puree”? You get “The Gorge,” a high-octane, emotionally charged ode to action B-movies and Italian horror that refuses to be put into a single box. Written by Zach Dean, the film stars Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, along with Sigourney Weaver and William Houston in a wild, visually stunning story about two elite operatives on opposite sides of a classified conflict who are forced to work together when a terrifying presence emerges from the depths of a mysterious gorge.

Apple TV+’s The Gorge is a wildly entertaining mash-up of genres that somehow works beautifully … for the most part. (More on that later.) At its heart, it’s a love story that’s driven by action, with splashes of sci-fi, sharp comedy, and even a touch of political drama stirred in for good measure. What truly makes it shine, though, are the engaging performances from Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) and Miles Teller (The Offer), who add personality and depth to every scene.

The setup is fairly simple. Two snipers man towers on opposite sides of a deep gorge. One’s an ex-Marine who writes poetry and has 113 confirmed sniper kills. The other is a Lithuanian sniper with incredible patience and a record that rivals her counterpart. Both are single, share remarkable accuracy with their weapons,...

Scott Derrickson directed and Zach Dean wrote the film The Gorge (2025), which is the sort of high-brow B-movie picture Hollywood has forgotten to make in the glut of IP content the major studios are chasing. A genre mash-up of romance, horror, and action in the vein of video game adaptations, “The Gorge” juggles multiple tonalities rather well, admirably taking in stride the usual contrivances and tropes.

The Gorge (2025) Plot Summary and Movie Synopsis: Who are the two snipers recruited to guard The Gorge?

We are introduced to our two protagonists in two different cold opens. Drasa (Anya Taylor Joy) is a Lithuanian sniper who learns from her father (also a sniper) about a new job that would find her standing guard at a mysterious Gorge under the employment of a private organization. Drasa, like her namesake of the urban legend of Russian sniper mercenaries, is extremely capable, with the cold...

Filmmaker Scott Derrickson is best known for his work in the horror genre – The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister, The Black Phone – but the director has also ventured into other worlds, such as the superhero realm with Doctor Strange. Personally, I greatly appreciate his style and this time, Derrickson tries to make the most of Zach Dean’s (The Tomorrow War) screenplay and the two Hollywood stars at his disposal, Miles Teller (Whiplash) and Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa), to achieve another critical and commercial success with The Gorge.

The premise is simple: Levi (Teller) and Drasa (Taylor-Joy) are two highly trained agents who are given the exact same mission. Separated by a vast and highly classified gorge, they’re stationed at opposite surveillance posts to protect the world from a mysterious evil that resides in the depths of the great chasm. As they grow closer despite the distance, they try to remain vigilant,...

Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge does well for itself upfront with its setup, with a top-tier mercenary named Levi (Miles Teller) accepting a mission to be the sole protector of a secluded mini-fortress in an unknown country, nestled at the edge of the titular gorge. The gist of the rules is that he must remain on watch for a single year, he’s to have no communication with the outside world aside from a monthly check-in from his higher-ups, he must eliminate anything that climbs out of the gorge with extreme prejudice, and there’s to be no contact with his counterpart on the other side of the gorge.

That last rule proves a bit difficult for Levi to follow when he finds out that the fortress on the other side is occupied by Drasa (Anya-Taylor Joy), an attractive Lithuanian assassin tasked with roughly the same mandate as him. Soon,...

If you live long enough you start asking yourself big, big questions, like… what is the meaning of life? Are we alone in the universe? And what would you do if you were a sniper guarding the gateway to Hell and you fell in love with another sniper who was really, super hot?

Scott Derrickson’s new Apple Original movie “The Gorge” answers only one of these questions, and unfortunately for philosophers everywhere, it’s the hot sniper question. But the rest of us will cheerfully make do. “The Gorge” is an unexpectedly romantic movie coming from the “Sinister” and “The Black Phone” director, but it’s also a gnarly monster flick with memorable beasties galore.

Miles Teller stars as Levi, a former Marine sniper who works freelance, and he’s super lonely. When a powerful figure played by Sigourney Weaver enlists Levi for a mysterious, year-long mission, he’s got nothing tying him down.

The Black Phone and Sinister director Scott Derrickson gets into the Valentine’s Day spirit with his latest, The Gorge, a romantic action thriller that also leans heavily into horror and sci-fi. Derrickson helms this genre mashup with lean efficiency, letting stars Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy do the heavy lifting as a pair of highly trained operatives turned lovers tasked with guarding the world against a strange threat. The leads’ inherent charm and screen presence and an inventive foray into thrilling action-horror territory sand some of The Gorge‘s rougher edges, making for a fun and romantic ride.

The Gorge introduces Levi (Teller) and Drasa (Taylor-Joy) as skilled snipers so efficient and isolated at their jobs that they’re enlisted in a top-secret mission that sees them whisked away to an undisclosed location deep in the middle of the wilderness, where they’re to guard opposite sides of a mysterious,...

I genuinely love movies about elite soldiers facing off against horrors beyond human comprehension. The sight of watching a warrior’s arrogance and bravery, which comes from their ability to wield the latest cutting-edge weapon, evaporates as they come to the realization that their primitive ways of warfare are of no use is oddly satisfying. I suppose Aliens is responsible for this obsession, immediately followed by the evergreen classic that is Predator. Dog Soldiers is really underrated and should get a lot more mainstream attention. I didn’t initially like Annihilation, but upon a rewatch, I admired what it was going for. I fell in love with Overlord almost instantly. I’m not sure if it counts, but I’ll give a shoutout to Underwater. Also, Love, Death & Robots’ shorts set in this subgenre, The Secret War, Sucker of Souls, Kill Team Kill, and In Vaulted Halls Entombed, are incredibly rewatchable.

The title of this movie is the two-word answer to a most unexpected question. Namely: “What do you get if you cross American Sniper, The Last Of Us, Stranger Things, Aliens and Love Actually?” Writer Zach Dean appears unashamed of his influences on this former Black List spec script, and director Scott Derrickson has much fun with them, serving up a frothy B-pic stew. By the time we reach the wink-at-the-audience montage that depicts Miles ‘Whiplash’ Teller and The Queen’s Gambit’s Anya Taylor-Joy bonding over drumming and chess, there is no doubt left that The Gorge can’t, and shouldn’t, be taken too seriously.

The set-up is a doozy. Teller and Taylor-Joy are sexy-but-damaged elite operatives whisked to a super-remote top-secret location by Sigourney Weaver, guest-starring as the token untrustworthy boss-person. Their year-long mission? To stand sentinel over an eerie chasm which may or may not be “the door to Hell”. Only,...

Apple TV+ may not have been birthed from the Covid-19 pandemic—arriving on our home screens mere months prior at the tail-end of 2019—but like its family-oriented counterpart Disney+, the streamer’s rise came in tandem with a moment perfectly (albeit morbidly) suited to clients remaining planted in one place with nowhere else to go. Perhaps not striking while the iron is hot, the tech giant-turned-film studio has finally decided, in 2025, to marry its initial ambitions for blockbuster fare with the very ambiance of isolation that put a damper on those plans when theatrical viewing was still part of their primary business plan.

“The Gorge,” arriving straight to the streamer just in time for the season of manufactured love, makes prominent use of protracted longing when there are no other options to be found but the one staring you in the face. At the same time, director Scott Derrickson and...

How far would you go for a worthy love story? It's the most pressing question at the forefront of "The Gorge" for its two main leads, rival snipers played with effortless chemistry by Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller. Separated by thousands of meters of canyon depths, the vast gulf between them only exacerbates their need for connection. Yet, intentional or not, this also doubles as an inadvertent commentary on the state of the genre these days. It's no secret that 2024 was a fairly dire year when it comes to rom-coms. But no matter how many decisionmakers in charge want to pretend otherwise, audiences clearly remain starved for something that delivers romance.

As much as filmmakers might want to make straightforward romances, however, they've had far better luck sneaking them into larger genre plays. Think of "Twisters" using the backdrop of CGI tornadoes to do an enemies-to-lovers ship (even if it...

Miles Teller certainly scored points in Top Gun: Maverick, but now with The Gorge he has really flown into the danger zone.

Valentine’s Day is certainly appropriate to release this hybrid of several genres including horror, sci-fi, action and romance, the latter due to a clever “meet cute” angle between two sharp-shooting assassins hired to guard East and West towers separated by 600 meters, below them an imposing, dense, foggy forest that holds a dark secret.

No doubt it is a lonely job when Bartholomew (Sigourney Weaver), the shady corporate operative who is one of the few who knows of the top kept secret of what the Gorge holds, recruits Levi (Teller), an ex-Marine and private contractor, a hit man talented with guns and weapons who Bartholomew decides is perfect for the yearlong assignment of making sure there is no escape from the mysterious gorge, a place of which even nine Russian heads and 13 U.

So there’s this gorge. Nobody knows where it is exactly, because the shadowy paramilitary organization that oversees it uses cloaking technology to keep the place hidden from satellites, Google Earth, and world leaders alike, but an educated guess might put it somewhere in the wilds of Norway or the forests of northern Russia. Then again, the rumpled duvet of impenetrable fog that stretches from one side of this thing to the other feels like it’s not of our world at all.

The Gorge is monitored by two snipers on annual rotations, each stationed on opposite sides of the ravine. This arrangement stretches back to at least the Cold War, with one soldier representing the West, the other representing the East, and both strictly forbidden from communicating with each other. Their mutual job is to make sure that whatever is in the gorge never manages to get out. “The...

Nothing says Valentine’s Day like snipers killing giant monsters and falling in love. If that sounds like the perfect date night to you, Apple TV+ has you covered with The Gorge, the latest film by Doctor Strange and The Black Phone director Scott Derrickson. That being said, date nights are usually better with good movies, so it’s probably best to stay away from this one.

The Gorge Review

The Gorge follows two elite snipers from warring countries who are assigned to guard opposite ends of a mysterious chasm that is home to an unknown evil. Oh, and they fall in love, because what else is going to happen when you are isolated with a beautiful person of the opposite sex being the only thing you see? Zach Dean’s Blacklist-selected script is the type of high-concept action-horror-romance that feels like it wants to be the next genre breakout like A Quiet Place,...

Director Scott Derrickson, writer Zach Dean, producers Sherryl Clark, David Ellison, Don Granger and Dana Goldberg joined them at the event.

Others stars in attendance included Caylee Cowan, Katie Cassidy, Jake Picking, Madeleine McGraw, Harry Goodwins, Stormi Henley, Aaron Dominguez, Matt Bennett, Greg Tarzan Davis, Alberto Rosende and wife Tessa Mossey. We’ve got photos of them in the gallery!

Here’s a synopsis of the movie: In The Gorge,...

Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge is about the lengths human beings will go to for love. The action romance contains a handful of other genres on top of it, but the crux of writer Zach Dean’s story centers on the distant courtship of two lonely snipers named Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Levi (Miles Teller). For a period of one year, the highly skilled operatives are contracted to stand guard at their own individual observation towers that are separated by a 600-meter gorge. More specifically, the two gatekeepers are tasked with preventing whatever evil lurks at the bottom of the ravine from getting out into the world.

Despite communication being forbidden by their employer, Drasa and Levi can’t help themselves after prolonged isolation. So they proceed to bond from afar until Valentine’s Day changes everything. Ultimately, Levi risks life and limb to cross the gorge and meet the...

Director Scott Derrickson‘s new sci-fi thriller “The Gorge” is largely a two-hander between Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy as assassins tasked with guarding opposite sides of an enormous and highly classified chasm.

That chasm is also home to a supernatural force that cannot be allowed to get out, under any circumstances. Outside Teller and Taylor-Joy’s central story — a romance that develops over binoculars as they communicate without ever traversing the space between them — one of the movie’s biggest pleasures lies elsewhere.

That’s in Derrickson’s casting of Sigourney Weaver as Bartholomew, the imposing and enigmatic operative who hires Teller to guard the gorge without revealing its secrets — or her own intentions. Part of the fun of watching Weaver in the role is seeing her as a character that recalls not Ripley, the heroine she played in four “Alien” films, but one of the shadowy figures behind Weyland-Yutani,...

The world’s most dangerous secret lies within The Gorge, and Scott Derrickson isn’t about to spoil it.

The Sinister and The Black Phone director sat down with Bloody Disgusting to discuss his genre-bending new film, which offers something for everyone this Valentine’s Day with action-packed thrills, passionate romance, sci-fi intrigue, and horrific creatures.

The originality of the concept, scripted by Zach Dean (The Tomorrow War), attracted Derrickson to The Gorge. “When Skydance sent me the script, I just got excited about the idea of a big event movie that’s not a sequel or a franchise or IP, but is an original story blending a lot of different genres.”

Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick) and Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch) star as two highly-trained operatives who grow close from a distance after being sent to guard opposite sides of a mysterious gorge. When an evil below emerges, they...

Johnny Depp has been away from Hollywood for a long time. After all the drama with his ex-wife Amber Heard, he was dropped from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as well as from Fantastic Beasts, leading to reports suggesting that he had sworn off Hollywood.

However, fans of the actor would be delighted to know that the actor is coming back to Tinsletown, and collaborating with his Pirates of the Caribbean love interest Penélope Cruz for an action thriller criminal mystery film. While this does not mean that the actor would consider returning to his fan-favorite role of Captain Jack Sparrow, Disney should better sort their priorities and try to get him on board.

Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller play a pair of isolated soldiers whose skills and strong bond help them through an extended mission guarding an isolated and mysterious location in The Gorge. The upcoming Apple TV+ movie was directed by Scott Derrickson from a screenplay by Zach Dean (The Tomorrow War). The ensemble cast of the movie also includes iconic Alien and Ghostbusters star Sigourney Weaver alongside Gangs of London's Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù and Wednesday's William Houston.

Neither of the stars of the upcoming The Gorge is a stranger to leading movies in a variety of genres. Miles Teller is likely best known for his role in the Oscar-winning music drama Whiplash, which was helmed by La La Land director Damien Chazelle. However, he has also held major roles in a wide range of movies and television shows, including the legacy action sequel Top Gun: Maverick (in which he starred opposite Tom Cruise...

The Gorge stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller recall how their friendship helped them play snipers sent on a mysterious mission in their upcoming action-horror-romance movie.

The film stars Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy as two elite snipers who accept positions on either side of a mysterious gorge.

Teller's character (Levi) is told he's there to guard the gate to Hell (whether he means literally or metaphorically remains to be seen), and that he is to have no contact with the sniper in the opposite tower (Taylor-Joy's Drasa).

Of course, they eventually begin to communicate and strike up something of a medium-distance relationship, and when Levi falls while attempting to cross to the other side, Drasa straps on a parachute and follows him down.

Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge has had a long jump to screens, first coming to light on the annual Black List (a compiling of that year’s best unproduced screenplays) and not officially moving forward in any capacity until two years later. Now, ahead of its release next year comes the official trailer.

Revealed at this year’s Comic Con Experience in Brazil, the trailer for Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge looks to give just the sort of hype that the cast and crew would want after such an extensive wait. The movie stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller as “two soldiers who are tasked with guarding a seemingly never-ending gorge with one agent posted on either side.” Sigourney Weaver and William Houston co-star.

As Scott Derrickson continues to thrill audiences with updates and new projects, Apple TV+ has released a gripping trailer for his latest movie, ‘The Gorge’, at Ccxp Brazil.

The film, which combines elements of action, romance, and thriller genres, stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller, who are already turning heads with their on-screen chemistry.

In ‘The Gorge’, Taylor-Joy plays Drasa, a formidable assassin who never fails to complete her assignments.

Her latest mission places her in a remote and mysterious location, directly opposite Teller’s character, Levi, an elite U.S. military sniper stationed for a year-long vigil.

Despite strict orders preventing them from communicating, the trailer hints at the duo finding innovative ways to connect, teasing a tantalizing plot where personal and professional lines blur.

The film’s setting, referred to as the ‘door to hell’, is a vast, secretive gorge harboring a dangerous and unknown threat.

Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy might take Valentine’s Day in a more sinister direction next year. The two actors find themselves posted to the guard towers above a version of hell in a trailer for Apple Films’ The Gorge, released Saturday.

You won’t find Johnny Depp slowing down anytime soon: one French-language movie and one directorial feature down and he’s hungry to penetrate Hollywood even more.

He may have fallen from grace with the whole Amber Heard controversy, but he’s determined to build up his career back to the A-list status he once enjoyed. Kevin Spacey should definitely be taking notes.

Johnny Depp To Join ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ Co-star On Upcoming Movie Helmed By ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Director

Johnny Depp’s diary is busy, and whenever he’s not inventing a new language to voice a puffin in an animated series, he’s plotting his Hollywood comeback.

Once an actor in high demand by Hollywood, Depp’s roles in major movies dried up following his big Amber Heard controversy. Now that it’s all behind him – sort of – Depp’s been plotting a slow and steady comeback to Hollywood.

Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp have joined the cast of the action thriller ‘Day Drinker’ at Lionsgate.

The film follows a cruise ship bartender who meets a mysterious day drinker — only for both of them to find themselves entangled in a criminal underbelly, and connected in unexpected ways.

Additional producers include Adam Kolbrenner. Zach Dean penned the original spec screenplay. The film is executive produced by 30West.

The movie reunites the two actors, who have shared the screen in ‘Blow,’ ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ and ‘Murder on the Orient Express.’

Hollywood stars Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz will team up for a new action thriller film directed by Marc Webb. Titled “Day Drinker,” the movie follows a cruise ship bartender embroiled in a criminal conspiracy after encountering a mysterious regular customer. Depp and Cruz have previously starred together in several box office hits, including “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Blow.”

Produced by Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee of the successful “John Wick” franchise, the script comes from writer Zach Dean known for films like “Fast X.” Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Adam Fogelson praised the creative team, saying the film “combines a commercially appealing concept with unexpected twists through an exciting story.”

The announcement comes after Depp’s legal victory earlier this year against ex-wife Amber Heard. His role in “Day Drinker” marks Depp’s return to a major Hollywood studio project for the first time since 2018’s “Fantastic Beasts” installment.

Johnny Depp and Penlope Cruz are to star in their fourth movie together, Day Drinker, from the producers of the John Wick franchise. The two actors have shared the big screen three times so far, in Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Kenneth Branaghs Murder on the Orient Express. While their movies didnt resonate strongly with critics - their highest-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes is Murder on the Orient Express with a 60% score - they have made $1.1 billion at the global box office. The bulk of that gross comes from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Now, Lionsgate confirms Depp and Cruz are working together again on Day Drinker. From the producers of John Wick, Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, its marketed as an action thriller by director Marc Webb, who is known for his work on 500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man, and its sequel.

Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz will reunite for Day Drinker, a thriller being developed for Lionsgate and directed by Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man). This will be Depp’s first major Hollywood movie since the scandal involving the fallout of his relationship with Amber Heard.

Day Drinker follows a cruise ship bartender who meets a mysterious day drinker, only for both of them to find themselves entangled in a criminal underbelly, and connected in unexpected ways. “Day Drinker combines a highly commercial concept with wildly outrageous twists and turns all set in an incredible world,” said Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, “and there is no better filmmaker than Marc or two more perfectly cast actors than Johnny and Penélope to bring that world to life.“

This will mark Depp and Cruz’s fourth collaboration. They previously appeared together in Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,...
