Michael Douglas and real-life son Cameron Douglas are set to reunite on the big screen.
Good Deed Entertainment has acquired domestic rights to Looking Through Water — a family drama feature starring Michael Douglas — and is planning a late summer theatrical release, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. Roberto Sneider helmed the film that co-stars Cameron Douglas as a younger version of his father’s character. Walker Scobell, David Morse, Michael Stahl-David, Ximena Romo and Tamara Tunie round out the cast.
Looking Through Water centers on a father (played by Michael Douglas) who attempts to bond with his estranged son (Scobell) by teaming up with him for a father-son fishing competition.
Sneider (Tear This Heart Out) directed the movie from a script by Rowdy Herrington (director of the original Road House) and Zach Dean (Fast X). Hailing from Aeth Entertainment, the project is based on the novels Catching Big Fish and Looking Through Water from author Bob Rich, who executive produces.
Producers include Robert Mitas, Stan Spry, Carla Woods and Eric Woods. Storyboard Media executive produces and worked to negotiate the deal for the film that was previously known as Blood Knot.
“With Good Deed and Storyboard Media on board, we’re excited to bring Looking Through Water to audiences — it’s a story of healing, forgiveness and second chances, while the American pastime of fishing connects generations through water,” says Aeth Entertainment CEO Woods.
“We are honored to be teaming up with Aeth Entertainment and Storyboard Media to bring Looking Through Water to audiences in the U.S. later this summer,” adds GDE head of acquisitions and distribution Erik Donley.
Michael and Cameron Douglas previously starred together in the 2003 feature It Runs in the Family, alongside Michael’s late real-life parents Kirk Douglas and Diana Douglas. Michael was last seen on the big screen in 2023’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Cameron Douglas’ recent credits include the 2022 Bruce Willis-led action film Wire Room and the Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room. His book Long Way Home was published in 2019 and details his journey following his conviction on drug charges.
