    Cast your mind back to 2020. Remember when Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas were THE celeb couple of the moment?!

    Before they split in January 2021, there were almost as many pictures of BenAna as there was banana bread, tbh.

    The pair hit it off during the filming of the adaptation Deep Water, which was originally scheduled to be released in November of 2020.

    The film's release was postponed twice, but is now set to stream on Prime Video from March 18th.

    Well, it's been a long time coming, but the first teaser for the erotic thriller just dropped, and whew! It's steamy, to say the least.

    Deep Water follows Vic and Melinda Van Allen, a wealthy couple going to some steep lengths to keep their rocky marriage together. When the men involved in Melinda’s entanglements start going missing, the pair's mutual resentment and mind games escalate in the deadliest of ways.

    The teaser doesn’t reveal too much, other than the pair’s intense chemistry. It's only a minute long, and there are just 10 lines between the pair, including “there’s something wrong with me” and "there's something wrong with me too." Guys, I don't know about you, but I really want to know what’s wrong with them.

    Directed by Fatal Attraction’s Adrian Lyne, Deep Water is full of stars. The screenplay’s written by Zach Helm and Sam ‘Euphoria’ Levinson, and the cast includes Jacob Elordi, Rachel Blanchard, and Lil Rel Howery, to name a few.

    This is Adrian Lyne’s first directorial film in 20 years, and dark twisted relationships are kind of his forte – he's also behind Indecent Proposal. The story's adapted from the novel Deep Water, written by Patricia Highsmith, the author who also spawned the stories of Strangers on a Train and Carol. If those credentials are anything to go by, Deep Water will be well worth the wait.

    Check out the sneak peek of the pair in the first teaser trailer!
