Suddenly is a 2023 French survival thriller film by Thomas Bidegain about a couple with a strained relationship struggling to survive on a deserted island.

Production[edit]

In early 2019, Vanessa Kirby and Jake Gyllenhaal were cast as the leads of the project, which was to be Bidegain's English language debut. However, due to friction between the Bidegain (the director) and Gyllenhaal, the film was scrapped and retooled as a French production.^[1]^[2]^[3]
