EXCLUSIVE: The Andrea Iervolino Company has launched commercial film label Aventura and unveiled it as a partner on upcoming action thriller Deep Water.
Directed by Renny Harlin, the previously announced production stars Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley, and Nashi, seen recently in Chinese blockbuster Creation of the Gods 2 which grossed $385 millions worldwide.
Aventura will be focused on high-concept, commercial films, blending action, suspense, and mass appeal, and will be positioned alongside The Andrea Iervolino Company’s line-up focused on auteur-driven and biographical titles such as Maserati: The Brothers, Bugatti: The Genius, and Carnival at the End of Days.
“With Aventura, we are expanding our storytelling horizons and aiming to deliver bold, thrilling entertainment to audiences worldwide in 2D and 3D,” said CEO and founder Andrea Iervolino. “This move reflects our dedication to cinematic diversity — from prestige biopics to global action spectacles.”
Deep Water follows a group of international passengers flying from Los Angeles to Shanghai. When their plane is forced to make an emergency landing in shark-infested waters, the survivors must confront both the forces of nature and their inner fears in a fight for survival.
The cast also includes Wenhan Li, Kelly Gale, Angus Sampson, and Molly Belle Wright.
Principal photography took place in New Zealand, Spain and China, with additional scenes set to be filmed in Rome. Aventura’s investment in Deep Water involves equity and production services in Italy.
The film is set for a wide theatrical release in the United States in 2025 by Magenta Light Studios. Arclight Films is handling the worldwide sales.
