Scream's Melissa Barrera has signed on for new horror movie about killer orcas – and with Deep Blue Sea's director on board, I reckon we're in for a whale of a time

Melissa Barrera as 'Joey' in Abigail.

Melissa Barrera is set to take on killer orcas in a new sea-themed horror movie from director Renny Harlin. She joins John Travolta, who's been attached to the project since May 2025, Álvaro Mel (A Perfect Story) and the former's daughter Ella Bleu Travolta.

Officially titled Black Tides, the flick will revolve around Travolta's character Bill Pierce, who travels to Europe to reconnect with his estranged daughter Rebecca (Barrera) and her son Sebastian (Dylan Torrell). The reunion soon turns into a nightmarish fight for survival, though, when their boat is attacked by a bunch of murderous whales.
