Scientists discuss science behind new film Whalefall survival thriller
Comparative anatomists and deep-diving whale researchers spoke to Nature about the scientific accuracy of the October 16 release of the film Whalefall.
Film production uses scientific advisors
The movie makers consulted with Joy Reidenberg from Mount Sinai in New York City. She helped decide which whale species would best fit the modern story. The team also discussed potential injuries a person might suffer inside different stomach chambers.
Researchers explain deep diving habits
Ilias Foskolos studies toothed whales at Aarhus University in Denmark and Stanford University in California. He joined the conversation to separate fact from fiction regarding whale behavior. The reports confirm that the film relies on collaboration with these specific experts.
