“Fatal Attraction” Director’s First Film in 20 Years Pulled from Schedule, Fueled Ben Affleck-Ana de Armas Affair

Share

Adrian Lyne’s first film in 20 years is under water.

“Deep Water,” from Disney-20th Century (formerly Fox), was supposed to be released on January 14, 2022. Ir was Lyne’s first film since “Unfaithful” in 2002 with Diane Lane and Richard Gere.

Disney has not explained removing it from the schedule, but it’s gotta hurt. Ben Affleck and Ana de Aemas met on this film, started dating and lived together for a short time. They were major tabloid fodder. But all that’s over and Affleck is now back with Jennifer Lopez.

Lyne has a reputation for being eccentric. But he directed some very successful and memorable films including “Flashdance,” “9 1/2 Weeks,” and “Fatal Attraction.” He turned 80 last March, which is hard to to believe, isn’t it?

“Deep Water” will likely turn up on a streaming service. Stay tuned…
