We already know that Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller have chemistry – of the romantic kind in The Spectacular Now, and of a more antagonistic nature in the Divergent movies. So it perhaps make sense that they're aiming to channel the former for a new movie: Teller is now in talks to join Woodley in survival thriller Adrift.
That said, we might not see them together for much of the running time.... Adrift, which Everest's Baltasar Kormákur is attached to direct, largely follows the true story of Tami Oldham (Woodley) and fiancé Richard Sharp (Teller, if he makes a deal), who set sail from Tahiti, planning to sail around the world together. But while their trip started with fair winds and clear skies, they sailed directly into a massive hurricane, 1500 miles from the nearest land.
Knocked unconscious, Tami awoke to find herself stranded in the middle of the Pacific, her boat in ruins, critical instruments and other equipment broken and her fiancé nowhere to be seen. She has to survive somehow, despite a bad head wound and little food or water...
So... yeah, unless Teller is also voicing a friendly dolphin who comes around to help, don't expect them to interact all the time.
The script came from Aaron and Jordan Kandell, who have previously brought their writing abilities to the watery environs of Disney's Moana.
Teller has firefighting drama Granite Mountain due on 22 September, and is in PTSD drama Thank You For Your Service, which doesn't appear to have a UK release date as of yet.
