‘Deep Water’: Long-Awaited Ben Affleck & Ana De Armas Erotic Thriller Debuts March 18 On Hulu

We were supposed to get Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas bumping beautifuls on the big screen earlier this year, and then 20th Century Studios seemingly lost their nerve or just didn’t have the confidence in the movie as a big-screen effort. Instead, the long-awaited erotic thriller, initially scheduled for January 2022, now arrives on Hulu on March 18. Directed by ‘90s erotic thriller maven Adrian Lyne, the movie is about a  well-to-do husband who allows his wife to have affairs in order to avoid a divorce becomes a prime suspect in the disappearance of her lovers. Here’s the official synopsis:
