Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu have both been around Marvel superheroes in their careers, but now they star as real-life heroes in the 2025 new movie Last Breath, based on the true story of an underwater rescue mission.
Helping to bring this story to the big screen is director Alex Parkinson, an Emmy-nominated director for the TV documentary Lucy, the Human Chip, who is making his narrative feature directing debut. But Parkinson is uniquely qualified to tell this story, as he co-directed (with Richard da Costa) a documentary about this story, also titled Last Breath, back in 2019.
