Mark Wahlberg And Dylan O’Brien Star In First Deepwater Horizon Trailer

We’re still trembling from last week’s news of Dylan O’Brien’s bone-shattering injury on the set of The Maze Runner: The Death Cure, but the star is reportedly on the mend and has a new trailer out to boot, for upcoming real-life drama Deepwater Horizon.

He’ll be lining up alongside leading man Mark Wahlberg in this story of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, which exploded near the coast of Louisiana back in 2010.

The new film sees Wahlberg heading up a team of rig workers attempting to prevent the disaster and then risking their necks to save their colleagues when things inevitably go south.

O’Brien plays the youngest member of the team, and is soon up to his eyeballs in all manner of mayhem.

With Kate Hudson, John Malkovich, Kurt Russell and Gina Rodriguez all on board alongside Wahlberg and O’Brien, there is plenty of star-power to balance out the explosions, although there are plenty of those in there too.

Directed by Peter Berg, the new film will arrive on UK screens on 30 September 2016.

We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that poor old Dylan will be fighting fit again by then.
